Comments
I’ve been running the A8 Max with the R9-8945HS for a few weeks. The upgradeable RAM and SSD are a lifesaver—no soldered nonsense. Dual 2.5GbE and USB4 make it a killer little server. Handles my AI stuff and 4K displays without breaking a sweat. Quiet most of the time too. Pricey, but you get what you pay for.
