2026 verdict
A lower price doesn't flip this one: the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9) wins on owner rating and storage capacity, its 2TB SSD doubling the 1TB drive in the Geekom IT15 (32GB + 1TB), even as the IT15 undercuts it slightly on price.
The IT15 still has real strengths worth weighing: a newer Intel Core Ultra 9 285H platform with Arc 140T graphics and ray tracing, three separate storage bays (an NVMe slot, a SATA M.2 slot and a 2.5-inch SATA bay) for future expansion, Wi-Fi 7 over the A8 Max's Wi-Fi 6E, and a memory ceiling that reaches 128GB against the A8 Max's 64GB. Both ship with 32GB of DDR5 memory, dual USB4 ports, a 3-year warranty and Windows 11 Pro out of the box. Buyers who want more storage right out of the box and a stronger track record with owners should choose the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9); anyone who wants Intel's newest mobile platform, more expansion bays or the smaller price tag should look at the Geekom IT15 (32GB + 1TB) instead.
