My husband is a gamer-would the Geekom A7 max actually cut it?

My husband is really into gaming, not like a hardcore gamer or anything, but he plays pretty much every day and always complains our old desktop takes up half his desk. i'm thinking about getting him the Geekom A7 max as a birthday surprise, figured it'd be powerful enough to handle his games but compact enough to actually free up some desk space. It's got a Ryzen9 7940hs, 16gb RAM, and Radeon 780m graphics. From what i've read the 780m is decent for most games, and apparently if he wants to play something heavier like call of duty, he can hook up an eGPU through usb4.

I've never bought a PC for someone before so i'm not super confident here. Is the A7 max actually a solid pick for a gaming setup? Would love to hear what you guys think!

GEEKOM A9 Max 2026 is officially here with Ryzen AI 9 HX 470

The new GEEKOM A9 Max 2026 has officially launched featuring Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, 32 GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD in a compact gaming mini PC setup.

For people who want more room to grow, it also supports up to 128 GB DDR5 RAM and up to 8 TB storage through dual PCIe 4.0 SSD slots.

Now we’re curious how everyone here would configure it.

Would you keep the stock 32 GB + 2 TB setup, or immediately start upgrading it yourself? What would your ideal setup look like?
