2026 verdict
DDR5 versus DDR4 decides this one: the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9) wins on owner rating and memory, its DDR5-5600 platform running well ahead of the DDR4-3200 inside the Geekom IT13 (2TB), all on an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS.
The IT13 (2TB) answers with a lower price, and its Core i9 13900HK still handles 4K editing, DAWs and Plex serving well according to owners. Storage is a wash, both ship a 2TB SSD, and both include 32GB of RAM, dual HDMI, an aluminum chassis and a 3-year warranty. Buyers who value the newer memory platform and a slightly higher owner rating should pick the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9); those prioritizing price should pick the Geekom IT13 (2TB).
