Flagship Business & Creative Workstation.
Intel Core Ultra 9 185H + Intel Arc Graphics. Powered by a 16-core, 22-thread CPU (up to 5.1GHz) and Intel Arc integrated graphics with XeSS AI upscaling, it delivers responsive performance for multitasking, software development, and creative applications. The Intel AI Boost NPU combines with the CPU and GPU to accelerate local AI workloads, video calls, and transcription while reducing system resource usage.
Dual 2.5GbE + Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4. Two 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports support NAS access, software routers, virtualization labs, and network redundancy. It comes with Windows 11 Pro, 24GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD, expandable up to 5TB via dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots (2280 + 2242), in a compact 135 × 131.8 × 57.7mm VESA-mountable chassis.
V-Cooling. 3 Performance Modes. A large-area vapor chamber with 360° bottom intake increases heat-spreading area by 40% and heat-transfer efficiency by 50% versus dual heat pipes. V-Boost Pro offers three modes: 20W Silent, 40W Normal, and 65W Performance, balancing temperature, fan noise, and sustained power for different workloads.
Quad-Display. Dual USB4. 8 USB Ports. Two HDMI 2.0 and two USB4 ports support up to four simultaneous displays, with USB4 delivering 40Gbps data transfer, DisplayPort 2.0 Alt Mode, and 100W power input (via one port with compatible adapter).

Video-Highlights
The number of connections was one of the main reasons I went for this model. I've got two monitors, a webcam, keyboard, mouse and external storage connected and still have ports left over. Everything is neatly tucked away on my desk now rather than having a large tower sitting underneath it.
I've been using the iX9 Max for development work and it's been exactly what I was after. Visual Studio Code, Docker and local databases all run comfortably together. I can have several projects open without everything grinding to a halt. The compact size is a bonus as well, particularly on a smaller desk.
Only had it a few weeks, but it's been fast and reliable. Looks smart on the desk as well.
Opened the box, plugged it in, and Windows was sorted in under 10 minutes. Zero bloatware installed, which is a massive plus! It is snappy, fast, and feels far more expensive than it actually is. Great value for money -- couldn't be happier with my purchase. Cheers!
Fast, good heat dissipation, and quiet. Space-saving.
Absolutely delighted with the iX9 Max. Ultra fast, super quiet, and arrived promptly. You really cannot ask for more than that. Quality product!
The included VESA mount bracket is a total game-changer. I screwed it directly onto the back of my screen, hooked up a short cable, and boom — my mini PC is completely invisible! My desk looks hyper-minimalist with zero cable clutter. Combining great included accessories with high performance makes this one of the smartest purchases I've made all year.
Ordered smoothly online and DPD delivered it without any hassle. Packaging was super secure. I had a quick technical question about setting up the dual displays, emailed support, and got a helpful reply within 30 minutes. You do not often get service like this nowadays. Highly recommended!
Running Docker containers, Visual Studio, and local databases simultaneously, and this beast doesn't even sweat. Thermal management seems very solid -- no thermal throttling observed during heavy compiles. Very impressed with the build quality and port selection as well. 10/10 from me.
Was on the fence about switching to a mini PC, but I am so glad I made the jump. The iX9 Max is tiny, whisper-quiet, but packs the punch of a full-sized desktop. Boots up in seconds. My wife uses it for work during the day, and I use it for some light gaming and streaming at night. Perfect all-rounder.
I will admit I was a bit hesitant as I had not bought from VZMORE before, but the impressive specs convinced me. Glad I took the gamble! The build quality is premium, performance is top notch, and the dispatch was fast. Safe to say I am completely converted.
