2026 verdict
How much does jumping to Intel's newest Core Ultra platform actually buy you?
Against the Geekom A5 (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB), the Geekom IT15 (32GB + 1TB) delivers a higher owner rating, newer DDR5 memory, double the memory capacity at 32GB and double the storage at 1TB. The Geekom A5 (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) is the far more affordable machine, which is the only reason to pick it over the IT15 here. Both carry a 3 year warranty, so that part of the decision is a wash. The A5's six-core Ryzen 5 7430U is fine for office work and browsing, but the IT15's 16-core Core Ultra 9 285H and three storage bays put it in a different class for heavier productivity, encoding or home server duty. Buy the Geekom IT15 (32GB + 1TB) if you need that headroom; buy the Geekom A5 (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) if your workload is light and the budget is tight.
