2026 verdict
Need Arrow Lake power, or a proven AMD workhorse?
For most shoppers, the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 7) is the mini PC comparison's winner, taking the price and the owner rating over the newer Geekom IT15 (32GB + 1TB). The IT15 answers with real advantages on paper: an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H paired with Arc 140T graphics, a memory ceiling that stretches to 128GB versus the A8 Max's 64GB, Wi-Fi 7 instead of Wi-Fi 6E, and three separate storage bays for expanding well past a single drive, all wrapped in a noticeably smaller metal chassis. What both share is 32GB of DDR5 RAM out of the box, a 1TB SSD, dual USB4 ports, a 3-year warranty and Windows 11 Pro. Buyers who want the newest Intel silicon, more expansion room and a smaller footprint should look at the Geekom IT15 (32GB + 1TB); everyone else gets a proven AMD chip, a higher-rated machine and a lower bill with the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 7).
