The Geekom A9 Max mini PC is on sale now for $1,349. That's $350 off the regular price of $1,699.

Why go for a mini PC? By centralizing the core computing components and forgoing peripheral technology like displays, accessories, and audio, you can get more bang for your buck with higher-end hardware, more RAM, and more memory for the same price as less powerful laptops or desktops.

Geekom advertises the mini PC as a flagship AI workstation, enabling everything from large enterprise models to 8K video editing and 3D rendering. It's certainly a powerful device, as it comes with 32GB of DDR5 RAM, expandable up to 128GB. The mini PC is also equipped with dual PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs for up to 8TB of expandable storage.

There's a full spread of I/O, with two HDMI ports, four USB-A ports along the front, two Ethernet ports, and USB-C ports on the back. On the desk, this little device takes up almost no space, completely changing the dynamic of a typical desktop workstation.
