What the differences mean
Memory size and type
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) ships with 32 GB of DDR4-3200 and lists 64 GB. The Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) ships with 16 GB of DDR5 and also lists 64 GB. The IT13 wins the amount you get today. The A6 wins the memory generation. If you will fill 32 GB with photos, virtual machines or a media stack, the IT13 is already there. If you care which DDR generation is in the slots, the A6 is the one that uses DDR5.
Included storage
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) includes 2 TB and can also take a 2.5-inch drive. The Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) includes 1 TB on M.2, with a second short SATA slot described in its notes. Both can be expanded. Only one of them arrives with 2 TB already fitted, which is the storage win.
Graphics and the CPU
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) uses a Core i9-13900HK with Intel Iris Xe graphics and no NPU. The Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) uses a Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon 680M graphics and no NPU. Owners of the IT13 say Iris Xe is fine for casual games and not for a serious gaming rig. Owners of the A6 say the same kind of thing about the 680M. The i9 is the chip they trust with heavier edits.
Ports they do not share
Both have 2.5G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, dual HDMI and USB4, and neither is Thunderbolt. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) adds a Kensington lock. The Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) does not. The IT13 weighs 1.44 lb. The A6's weight is not published. Both include an HDMI cable and a VESA mount, and both use an external adapter.
Which one to buy if
- you edit photos or run a media server with lots of files
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) includes 32 GB and 2 TB, and owners already do 4K edits, RAW batches and Plex on the i9-13900HK.
- you want DDR5 rather than DDR4 in a smaller Geekom
The Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) uses DDR5 and Radeon 680M graphics in a chassis about 112 mm square, with 16 GB and 1 TB.
- the computer might be left in a shared space
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) has a Kensington lock slot. The Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) does not.
- light office work is the whole job
Owners of the Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) say the Ryzen 7 6800H is enough for browsing and documents, so the extra memory in the IT13 may sit unused.

What owners say
Owners of both Geekom boxes praise a metal chassis that stays quiet at idle and a Windows setup that does not take the evening. They then describe different jobs. Owners of the Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) talk about browsing, office work and replacing an older NUC, and they like how small a 112 mm body feels. Their sour note is support after an HDMI port failed. Owners of the Geekom IT13 (2TB) talk about 4K edits, large RAW batches, music software, local models and a Plex server that stays responsive, and they mention buying another unit for someone else. They also say it runs warm under long loads, that Iris Xe graphics are only casual-game hardware, and that support was quick for some European buyers and silent for at least one U.S. buyer.
