For creatives whose editing is increasingly AI-driven, the GEEKOM A9 Mega makes a neat pitch: the same Ryzen AI Max+ 395 muscle as its rivals, in a more consumer-friendly package built around that huge pool of assignable graphics memory. With up to 96GB of the system’s 128GB able to act as VRAM, it’s tailor-made for the wave of generative and AI-assisted editing tools now central to a lot of photo and video work. You’ll find it via GEEKOM.

That AI-forward angle suits a particular set of apps. Luminar Neo — whose whole identity is generative editing, from sky replacement to GenErase and relighting — lives or dies on local AI performance, and this is exactly the hardware for it. ON1 Photo RAW, with its NoNoise AI denoising and Super Select AI masking, is another that leans hard on the GPU and NPU. The A9 Mega handles both without sending your images to the cloud, which matters for speed and privacy alike. For the video side, it’s an ideal creator box: CapCut’s AI-assisted social edits and GoPro Quik’s quick action-cam turnarounds run effortlessly, leaving headroom to spare.

Underneath, it’s the familiar Strix Halo standard done well: 16 Zen 5 cores, the Radeon 8060S iGPU (roughly mobile RTX 4060–4070 class), and 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 at 8000MHz on the wide ~256GB/s bus. As with the whole class the memory is soldered rather than upgradable, the trade for that bandwidth. Storage is a 2TB SSD in dual M.2 slots, so it’s replaceable and expandable, and dual USB4 covers fast external drives and eGPU options. Wi-Fi 7 is on board; networking is the more modest 2.5GbE tier rather than 10GbE, so it’s better suited to local media than heavy NAS-based video editing.

On raw AI capability it matches the class — the 50 TOPS NPU and 96GB assignable memory let you run large models locally and experiment with building your own AI agents. As a clean, AI-ready creator desktop that won’t dominate a desk, the A9 Mega is a very sensible pick.
