2026 verdict
As a small, quiet powerhouse for editing and local AI work, the Geekom IT13 (2TB) outclasses the Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) in this pair.
It is built around an Intel Core i9 rather than an entry Ryzen 5. The IT13's three storage bays, 2TB of capacity and 32GB of DDR4 leave the A5 Pro's single 512GB drive and 16GB well behind, and its dual USB4 ports add expansion the A5 Pro cannot match. The A5 Pro answers with a genuinely lower price and its own complete set of office extras, an SD reader, a Kensington lock and a VESA mount in the box, all of which the IT13 shares. Choose the Geekom IT13 (2TB) for 4K editing, local AI models or 24/7 server duty, and the Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) for a compact, budget-friendly office desktop.

What the differences mean
CPU class
The A5 Pro's six-core Ryzen 5 7430U is an entry chip for office work. The IT13's Core i9-13900HK is a far more capable processor, built for 4K editing, DAWs and local AI models.
Storage
The IT13's three bays (an NVMe slot, an M.2 SATA slot and a 2.5-inch SATA bay) hold 2TB against the A5 Pro's single 512GB M.2 drive with no second bay at all.
Memory
32GB of DDR4 on the IT13 doubles the A5 Pro's 16GB, though both top out at the same 64GB ceiling.
USB4
Two USB4 ports on the IT13 support external GPUs and fast docks; the A5 Pro has no USB4 or Thunderbolt at all.
Which one to buy if
- you edit 4K video, run DAWs or local AI models
The IT13's Core i9, 32GB of RAM and three storage bays are built for exactly that.
- the budget is what decides it for office work
The Geekom A5 Pro costs noticeably less.
- you want three storage bays to grow into
The A5 Pro has a single M.2 slot; the IT13 has three separate bays.
- a compact all-aluminium office box with an SD reader and a lock is all you need
The A5 Pro covers everyday work at a lower price without paying for editing-class performance you would not use.

What owners say
Both sets of owners praise quiet, easy setup, but for different reasons. Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) owners single out the six USB ports, the SD card reader and the Kensington lock as unusually complete for an office box, while warning that storage is M.2 only, with no 2.5-inch bay like the standard A5, and that the Radeon Vega 7 graphics are not for gaming. Geekom IT13 (2TB) owners describe running 4K video editing, professional DAWs, local AI models and a 24/7 Plex server on the i9 and 32GB of RAM without the machine breaking a sweat, while noting it runs warm under sustained load and that GEEKOM's support was inconsistent for at least one buyer.
