What the differences mean
Processor
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) runs an Intel Core i9-13900HK, while the Beelink EQR7 (7735U 16GB + 500GB) uses an eight-core Ryzen 7 7735U. The i9 is the stronger chip for heavy multitasking and creative work.
Memory
The Geekom ships 32GB of DDR4 and reaches 64GB; the Beelink has 16GB of faster LPDDR5-4800 that is soldered and cannot grow. The Beelink wins on memory type, the Geekom on capacity.
Storage
The Geekom brings a 2TB Gen 4 drive with an M.2 2242 SATA slot and a 2.5 inch bay, three bays in total. The Beelink starts at 500GB but offers two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots.
Networking
The Beelink EQR7 (7735U 16GB + 500GB) has two 2.5G Ethernet ports against the Geekom IT13 (2TB)'s single port, and it adds a built-in power supply instead of an external brick.
Ports

Price
The Beelink is the more affordable machine, which matters if the larger memory and drive are not needed. The Geekom costs more for the i9, the 32GB and the 2TB drive.

What owners say
Owners of both mini PCs praise the same fundamentals: quiet operation, quick setup and enough speed for everyday work. Beelink EQR7 (7735U 16GB + 500GB) owners highlight near-silent cooling, the single-cable internal power supply and the second M.2 slot, and warn that the 16GB of LPDDR5 is soldered and cannot be expanded. Geekom IT13 (2TB) owners describe a small, quiet powerhouse that handles 4K editing, large photo batches, audio software and 24/7 Plex or NAS duty, and single out its solid metal build and three-year warranty; their caveats are that the integrated Iris Xe graphics are only for casual gaming, that it runs warm under sustained load and that support experiences vary.
