One of the worst aspects of PC gaming is the summer season. As heatwaves during this time rise, combined with the heat pumped by a PC tower, they can roast you to an unbearable degree and overheat your computer's systems.
Mini-PCs, on the other hand, can avoid this issue as they don't tend to generate as much heat as full-scale PC towers, and one of the best, premium mini-PCs for gaming, the Geekom A9 Max (with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370 CPU), just so happens to be on sale for $1399.99 at Amazon in time for the summer.
Also, if you use Geekom's limited-time "GKA9MAX370" promo code during checkout, you can reduce that price further to $1259.10.

Why buy the Geekom A9 Max?
The Geekom A9 Max is a powerhouse device that we regard as one of the best mini-PCs for PC gaming and some AI productivity on the side.
It's AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX370 CPU and integrated Radeon 890M GPU grant it exceptional performance rates that put it above most other mini-PCs. It's able to run graphically intense games like Cyberpunk 2077 at 60fps, and 1080p resolution at medium graphics settings with FSR balance turned on, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at 77fps and 1080p resolution.
The Geekom A9 Max also features an NPU with over 50 TOPs, allowing it to load up and complete tasks using Copilot+ AI-compatible apps like Cocreator or Recall.
Add on top an expandable RAM and SSD unit, a sleek compact design that makes it easily portable, and a solid thermal system to prevent it from overheating while not generating too much excess heat that will cook you during the summer, and you get a solid mini-PC that's earned its premium status.
The only things holding the Geekom A9 Max back are a basic BIOS with little to no room for performance or power-usage customization, no Oculink port for eGPUs, and a steep listing price of $1,599.99.
However, with this 13% discount combined with Geekom's "GKA9MAX370" promo code, you can knock it down to a slightly more manageable price of $1259.10.
