Although there have been over a dozen Ryzen AI Max+ 395 machines announced, there are only a handful you can actually buy right now. Today, we’re gonna go over the 5 AI Max+ 395 mini PCs you can actually buy, so you can decide which one best fits on your desk. And be sure to watch to the end for comparison charts ranking the best ones by size, price, and more.
Common Features
First, a note about commonalities. Because these computers all use the same chip, you’ll find that some of the features are the same. AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395, also known as Strix Halo, is AMD’s most powerful APU chip in 2025, and allows you to run large AI models when paired with tons of memory.
Internally, these computers can all go up to 128 GB of memory, with 96 GB accessible by the Radeon 8060S GPU for AI business like large language models.
For storage, these machines have 2 nVME sockets, although most only come with 1, or sometimes no, drives by default.
For display support, all of them, except one, support up to 4 displays through 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, and 2 USB 4 Type-C ports.
For networking, you’ll get Wifi 7, also known as 802.11be for 30 Gbps speeds, and Bluetooth 5.2 on most models.
Those are what’s the same, but there are differences across the models as well, so let’s get to them in alphabetical order.
Bosgame M5 AI Mini Desktop
First up is the Bosgame M5 AI Mini Desktop. Priced starting at $1489 for 96 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage, this is actually the cheapest computer in this list. However, you can also opt for 128 GB of memory and 2 TB of storage for $1699, which is one of the best values on this list as you’ll see.
Display support is a little bit uncertain here, as in some marketing materials, Bosgame claims HDMI 2.1 supporting 8K@60Hz resolution, while others say its HDMI 2.0 that only goes up to 4K @ 60Hz.
In addition to the 2 USB4 Type-C ports, you get 3 10 Gbps Type-A ports, 2 USB2 ports, an SD card reader, and 2 audio combo jacks. There’s also a performance “vode” switch to let you go between quieter operation and max performance.
The design looks a bit… gamerish, but being able to use it in horizontal or vertical orientation is nice. Bosgame doesn’t provide exact dimensions or weight, though it seems like its a standard flat box mini PC.
GMKtec EVO-X2 AI Mini PC
Next we’ve got the GMKtec EVO-X2 AI Mini PC. It starts at $1499, which is similar to the Bosgame, but comes with only 64GB of memory and 1 TB of storage, so its a worse value. The 128GB memory and 2 TB storage configuration is also more expensive at $1999, but that’s more in line with the other machines on this list.
Display support is more certain here, clearly speccing HDMI 2.1 with Fixed Rate Link at 8 Gbps data rates, which should be 32 Gbps of total bandwidth.
Other port connectivity is similar to the Bosgame, with 2 USB4 Type-C ports, 3 USB 3.2 Type-A ports, and 2 USB2 ports. You also get an SD card reader, 2 audio combo jacks, and a performance mode switch.
Unlike other models, Bluetooth support is version 5.4 instead of 5.2.
The design of the GMKtec is more boxy, but still unique looking. In my opinion, it looks rather nice and certain more professional than the Bosgame, whether you put it in horizontal or vertical orientation.
FEVM FA-EX9
Third on this list is also the most awkward. FAVM or FEVM, depending on where you look, has the FA-EX9 mini pc for sale on Aliexpress. All models come with 128GB of memory, but you can get no storage for the lowest, but still expensive, price of $2,362, or go up to 4 TB of storage for $2,666. Keep in mind you’ll need to add in shipping costs too, though.
Reports say it should offer the same HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4, and 2 USB4 ports like the others. Images of the machine reveal the other ports, with the main differences here being what looks like 5 USB 3 Type-A ports instead of having 2 of them being USB2 like the Bosgame and GMKtek.
The other unique feature to the FEVM is the OCuLink connector for external GPU expansion.
The understated design is more minimalistic than the others, and the height of the unit is smaller than the others, resulting in a volume of only 2.1 liters as well, the smallest on this list.
Framework Desktop
This next computer is the most interesting one in my opinion, but first, if you’ve found this video helpful, I’d really appreciate it if you hit that like button to let me know.
Alright, so next up we have the Framework Desktop. As its name implies, it’s one of the biggest mini PCs on this list, but its also extremely customizable like a desktop computer. That’s true for the front faceplates to give it a customized look, the choice of configuration that goes beyond just memory and storage, but also to things like the operating system, cooling fan, and even power cord, and also the front I/O ports you want to have.
The base price of the AI Max+ 395 chip model with 64 GB of memory starts at $1599, while the 128 GB memory option starts at $1999. That seems to be in line with other models, but keep in mind you’ll need to add on costs if you want storage, Windows, a CPU fan, customization tiles, or even front ports.
Speaking of ports, the Framework is actually the most powerful and the most limited in this regard. The rear ports are fixed, and display capabilities are unique on this model with HDMI 2.1 along with 2 DisplayPort 2.1 ports. Adding on the 2 USB4 Type-C ports, it’s not clear whether that means you can get 5 displays here instead of just 4 like the others.
The Framework has only 2 other USB 3.2 Type-A ports, while adding additional ones require using up 1 of the 2 front I/O expansion slots. However, that only allows for up to 4 Type-A ports in total, and if you wanted an SD card reader or front audio jack, you’d need to save one of the slots for that instead.
The Ethernet port is faster at 5 Gbit instead of 2.5 Gbit, though, so that’s pretty nice. That’s why I say the Framework is more powerful and flexible, but the total ports you can add are also more limited than the others.
Overall, the Framework looks most like a normal desktop PC, and due to the customization, needs some assembly as well. But the size is bigger than what we’ve seen so far at 4.5 liters, and shipping times are currently going into Q4.
Nimo AI 395 Mini PC
The final computer we’ll look at is the Nimo AI 395 Mini PC. Starting at $1999, you get 128 GB of memory and 2 TB of storage. There’s also an option for 4 TB of storage for a whopping $400 more at $2399, which is not a good deal at all, so just ignore that and buy your own storage drives.
The ports of the Nimo are similar to the others, with HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4, 2 USB 4.0 Type-C ports, and 5 Type-A ports split between 3 with USB 3 and 2 with USB 2 speeds. And SD card reader, 2 audio combo jacks and the standard 2.5 Gbit LAN round out the ports, along with what looks like a performance mode switch. So nothing really different here.
In terms of physical size, it’s basically the same volume as the Framework at 4.5 liters, but its taller and less deep, so it could take up a bit less room on the desk. The design isn’t really anything special though, which might be to your taste. All told, probably the most normal offering in this list.
Rankings
Alright, it’s time to pull out the ranking charts.
First, if you want the smallest AI Max+ 395 Mini PC, the FEVM is the winner at only 2.1 liters in volume. The overall size isn’t that drastically different from the second-place GMKtek though, other than being a bit thinner. The Bosgame should come in third, with its protruding fins making it slightly larger than the GMKtek. Finally, the Nimo and the Framework are significantly larger than the other 3.
If you’re looking for the best display support, the Framework Desktop takes the crown with its 2 DisplayPort 2.1 ports compared with a single DisplayPort on the other models.
Similarly, if you want the fastest networking speeds, the Framework offers 5 Gbit ethernet versus 2.5 for the others.
And if you’re looking for the most customizable computer, in both features and looks, the Framework Desktop again takes the crown. The ability to customize the cooling solution, front I/O ports, and the design panels makes it extremely versatile.
And finally, if you want the best value, the Bosgame M5 AI Mini Desktop leads the pack, with a starting price of $1489 for the 96 GB memory config, which is also the only maker offering that, and only $1699 for the 128GB model. That’s $300 less than the GMKtek, Framework, and Nimo. The worst value by far is FEVM with its starting price of $2362 + shipping that doesn’t include any storage.
So which AI Max+ 395 Mini PC would you buy? Personally, I’m most interested in either the Bosgame for its unbeatable value, or the Framework Desktop for its customizability and flexibility, especially the potential for silent cooling.
