2026 verdict
The Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 7) wins on price and owner ratings against the Geekom A9 Max (HX 370), which is enough to take the comparison since the two share so much: 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600, a 1 TB Gen4 SSD, dual 2.5G Ethernet, two USB4 Type-C ports, five USB 3.2 Type-A ports, an SD card reader, a Kensington lock, Windows 11 Pro and 3-year warranties, in near-identical 135 mm chassis. The Geekom A9 Max (HX 370) wins on graphics, with Radeon 890M against the Radeon 780M in the A8 Max, and it adds a newer Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 against Wi-Fi 6E and 5.2, HDMI 2.1 outputs, a second M.2 slot and a 128 GB memory ceiling rather than 64 GB. Buy the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 7) for the better price on very similar hardware, and the Geekom A9 Max (HX 370) if you want the newer platform, stronger graphics and Wi-Fi 7.
