2026 verdict
For twice the memory and twice the storage, the Geekom A9 Max (HX 470) is the better-equipped mini PC of this pair, while the Geekom GT13 Max is the value pick at roughly half the price.
The A9 Max pairs a twelve-core Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 and a 50 TOPS NPU with 32GB of DDR5 that reaches 128GB and a 2TB Gen 4 drive. The GT13 Max answers with a sixteen-core Core Ultra 9 185H, 16GB of DDR5 and a 1TB drive, plus a much lower price. Both share dual 2.5G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7, two USB4 ports and an SD 4.0 reader. Choose the A9 Max for AI and capacity, and the GT13 Max to spend less on a still very capable machine.
