If you want a powerful Windows-based alternative that offers more flexibility, you really should be looking at the Geekom A9 Max mini, now $1091 (was $1700) at Geekom when you use the code <strong>16A9M<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of all the machines we&#8217;ve tested, this is our pick for best Windows mini PC right now, so it&#8217;s well worth a look.<\/p>\n<p>The A9 Max is powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. To configure a Mac mini with comparable memory and storage, you\u2019re looking at a total of at least $1,800.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-today-s-top-a9-max-mini-pc-deal\"><span>Today&#8217;s top A9 Max Mini PC deal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"aa538d95-4ffe-41d4-b95b-623cbba68bb5\">We reviewed the A9 Max and came away seriously impressed. In testing, there was no doubt about the power on tap. General performance was consistently high, and applications felt responsive across the board. We summed it up as &#8220;a feature-packed AI-ready mini PC with surprising performance in a compact, ultra-stylish form.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AI-assisted tasks in apps like Photoshop benefited from the onboard NPU, with faster selections, background removal, and upscaling than expected from a mini PC.<\/p>\n<p>As an office-focused machine, the A9 Max proved particularly capable. Large documents, heavy multitasking, and working across a 4K display all sat comfortably within its limits. File transfers were nippy, helped by fast internal storage and the option to connect directly to a NAS via the dual 2.5Gbps LAN ports.<\/p>\n<p>The CNC-machined aluminum chassis is solid and premium, with enough weight to avoid feeling disposable, and the mini PC comes with four USB-A ports across the front, an SD card reader on the side, and USB4, HDMI 2.1, and dual LAN around the back.<\/p>\n<p>Internal upgrades are straightforward, with support for up to 128GB of RAM and a second M.2 SSD.<\/p>\n<p>At $1,091, the Geekom A9 Max doesn\u2019t just undercut a similarly specced Mac mini, it annihilates it. This is a well-built mini PC that fits naturally into office and creative setups, offering strong performance, upgrade&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/pro\/move-over-mac-mini-geekom-a9-max-brings-ryzen-ai-power-32gb-ram-and-2tb-storage-all-for-under-usd1100\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The powerful Geekom A9 Max mini PC is $600 off right now https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/pro\/move-over-mac-mini-geekom-a9-max-brings-ryzen-ai-power-32gb-ram-and-2tb-storage-all-for-under-usd1100 Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":210373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/6W8CwNsJdMb6C6fCUFVmqB-2000-80.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[53],"class_list":["post-210372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-mac-mini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210372"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210372"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210372\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210374,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210372\/revisions\/210374"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
