Geekom has just launched its new mini-PC shortly after debuting its first laptops. Announced at the end of last month, the A9 Mega comes right after the A9 Max, which has been on sale for nearly a month. Interestingly, the A9 Mega is the commercial name for the previously unnamed mini-PC that came before the A9 Max’s official release.
Availability Issues
For some unexplained reason, Geekom hasn’t made the A9 Mega available on its retail site like it did with the A9 Max. Additionally, the new mini-PC is not found on third-party sites such as Amazon, where the A9 Max is currently listed for $999. Instead, Geekom is launching the A9 Mega through Kickstarter, offering a $200 discount on the eventual retail price.
Specifications
The A9 Mega is only being offered in one configuration, despite Geekom suggesting there would be various memory options alongside the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. At this moment, the A9 Mega comes with 128 GB of RAM, which is a limitation compared to similar mini-PCs like the GMKtec EVO-X2. It’s worth noting that the mini-PC has the following ports in its 171 x 171 x 70.9 mm chassis:
Additionally, the A9 Mega features two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots and an M.2 2230 slot that comes with a Bluetooth 5.4/Wi-Fi 7 modem right out of the box. Currently, you can support the A9 Mega on Kickstarter for $1,899, which includes the Ryzen AI Max 395+ APU, 128 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage. As of now, Geekom is aiming to begin shipping units to Kickstarter backers by November 2025.
