2026 verdict
Twice the RAM and twice the SSD, so the Geekom A9 Max (HX 470) wins this mini PC comparison.
It leads on 32GB versus 16GB, Radeon 890M versus Radeon 780M, and 2TB versus 1TB, with a 50 TOPS XDNA 2 NPU, Wi-Fi 7 and SODIMMs to 128GB. The Geekom AX8 Max (16GB + 1TB) is the cheaper 8745HS daily driver, still DDR5-5600 with dual 2.5G Ethernet and two USB4 ports. Pick the HX 470 for AI and 890M graphics; pick the AX8 Max when a quieter Zen 4 desktop is the brief.
