MSI Pro Max Edge AI+ mini PC review
The MSI Pro Max Edge AI+ is a mini PC with a difference. Built for local AI, it features the AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Radeon 8060s graphics and a 50-TOPS NPU.
The MSI Pro Max Edge AI+ is a highly powerful mini workstation that excels in running Creative applications and performing AI tasks offline. Armed with AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Radeon 8060S graphics, and 128GB of unified memory, this machine is capable of handling large AI models using Lemonade. It can sort over 2,600 images, generate images using Flux and Qwen3 Coder models, and create a ten-page website, although some prompting may be needed.
The machine also handles Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro files without issues, even when editing 4K Canon EOS R5 C footage.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The price is quite high at £5,999, the Ethernet connection is relatively slow at 2.5Gb, and optimizing local AI requires significant setup and experimentation. Despite these drawbacks, once configured, the Pro Max Edge AI+ proves to be a potent machine with ample processing power packed into a compact, portable design.
Available directly from MSI on their website for $5,499 (US), €5,299, or £5,999, and widely available from other online retailers, it is rated 4 out of 5 for value.
