What the differences mean
Processor
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) uses a Core i9-13900HK with Iris Xe graphics and no NPU. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) uses a Core 3 304, one performance core and four low-power cores, with an NPU listed as Intel AI Boost and no TOPS number published. Editing, music work and a busy media server are the i9's jobs. A light always-on service is what the Core 3 is built for.
Memory and storage
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) ships with 32 GB of DDR4-3200 and 2 TB, and it lists 64 GB plus a 2.5-inch bay. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) ships with 24 GB of DDR5 and 512 GB of onboard UFS, lists 64 GB, and leaves two M.2 slots empty. DDR5 is the Beelink's memory-type advantage. Amount of RAM and the drive you get today are why the IT13 wins those rows.
Network and power
The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has 10 Gigabit Ethernet, a second 2.5G port, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and an 85 W supply inside a 500 g case. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) has one 2.5G port, two USB4 ports that are not branded Thunderbolt, Wi-Fi 6E and an external 120 W adapter. It weighs 1.44 lb. If the switch is 10 gigabit, the Beelink is the one that matches it. If the work is the CPU, the adapter on the desk is a fair trade.
Displays and extras
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) has two HDMI 2.0 ports, an SD reader, a Kensington lock and a VESA mount in the box. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has one HDMI port plus DisplayPort over two Thunderbolt 4 ports, for three displays, and it has no SD reader, no lock slot and no VESA mount. Both run Windows 11 Pro and include an HDMI cable. Warranty is three years on both.
Which one to buy if
- you edit video, run a DAW or host Plex
Owners of the Geekom IT13 (2TB) already do that on the i9-13900HK with 32 GB and a 2 TB SSD.
- the home network is 10 gigabit and the box stays on
The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has 10 Gigabit plus 2.5G Ethernet and an internal power supply, on a low-power Core 3 304.
- you want Thunderbolt rather than USB4
The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) has two USB4 ports and is not Thunderbolt branded.
- you need an SD reader, a lock slot or a VESA mount
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) includes all three. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has none of them.

What owners say
Owners of the Geekom IT13 (2TB) call it a small, quiet powerhouse and then list work that is not small: 4K video, batches of RAW photos, professional music software, local language models and a Plex or NAS server left running. The fan is near silent at idle and only a background noise under load, though the chassis runs warm when that load lasts. Dual monitors, including large 4K panels and a 49-inch ultrawide, come up as routine, and several buyers ordered another unit after living with the first. Iris Xe graphics are the limit they accept for games. Support is the split verdict: praised as fast by some European owners, and unanswered for at least one U.S. buyer with a first-boot login problem. A few also wish the memory configuration went further than what they received.
