2026 verdict
Budget for creative work matters here: the Geekom GT1 Mega Ultra 9 wins on price and doubles the SSD capacity of the NUC 15 Pro+ (Ultra 9 32GB + 1TB), 2TB versus 1TB, while both run the same 32GB of DDR5-5600 memory.
The NUC counters with a higher owner rating, though that score currently rests on only a small number of reviews compared with the GT1's far larger base, and it adds faster video connectivity, Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 against the GT1's Mini DisplayPort 1.4, alongside a newer-generation Intel Core Ultra 9 285H with Arc 140T graphics, versus the GT1's older Core Ultra 9 185H. Both include an NPU, Wi-Fi 7, dual HDMI, an aluminum chassis and a 3-year warranty, though the GT1 adds a bundled HDMI cable, an SD card slot and a headphone jack the NUC skips. Choose the Geekom GT1 Mega Ultra 9 for more storage and better value; choose the NUC 15 Pro+ (Ultra 9 32GB + 1TB) for the newest CPU generation and professional video output.
