NUC 15 Pro+ (Ultra 9 32GB + 1TB) vs Geekom IT13 (1TB)

The NUC 15 Pro+ (Ultra 9 32GB + 1TB) wins on owner rating and a faster DDR5 memory platform, and it uniquely offers an NPU, Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 2.1. The Geekom IT13 (1TB) counters with a lower price and a much larger base of buyer reviews, making it the value option with the longer track record.

Platform generation and video output. The NUC runs an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H with Arc 140T graphics, an NPU, and DDR5-5600 memory, plus Thunderbolt 4 and DisplayPort 2.1. The IT13 uses the older Core i9 13900HK with Iris Xe graphics and DDR4-3200, and it has no DisplayPort or Thunderbolt at all.

Only the NUC 15 Pro+ (Ultra 9 32GB + 1TB), which includes Intel's AI Boost NPU alongside its Core Ultra 9 285H. The Geekom IT13 (1TB) has no NPU, so on-device AI acceleration is a NUC-only feature here.

Yes. The NUC adds Thunderbolt 4, DisplayPort 2.1 and dual HDMI 2.1, but skips the 3.5mm audio jack and SD card slot. The IT13 sticks to dual HDMI 2.0 and USB4, but adds an audio jack, an SD card slot and a bundled HDMI cable the NUC doesn't include.

Choose the NUC 15 Pro+ (Ultra 9 32GB + 1TB) if you want the newest Intel Core Ultra platform, Thunderbolt and DisplayPort for advanced monitor setups, and an NPU for AI-assisted tasks, and you're comfortable with a newer product that has a smaller review history so far.

Choose the Geekom IT13 (1TB) if you want proven i9 performance for 4K editing, DAWs and Plex duty backed by a large, well-established base of owner reviews, plus everyday extras like an audio jack, an SD slot and a bundled HDMI cable, all at a lower price.
