Geekom A9 Max (HX 470) vs Geekom IT13 (2TB)

The Geekom IT13 (2TB) is the stronger overall pick, backed by a higher owner rating and a lower price than the Geekom A9 Max (HX 470). The A9 Max counters with newer DDR5 memory, a 50 TOPS NPU and dual 2.5G Ethernet that the IT13 doesn't match.

Platform generation and AI hardware. The Geekom A9 Max (HX 470) runs an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 on DDR5 memory with a dedicated NPU, while the Geekom IT13 (2TB) uses an older Intel Core i9 13900HK on DDR4 memory with no NPU at all.

Only the Geekom A9 Max (HX 470). Its XDNA 2 NPU is rated at 50 TOPS, 86 TOPS with the CPU and GPU included, enough to run local language models and Copilot+ features. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) has no NPU, so any AI workload runs entirely on its Core i9 CPU.

No. The Geekom A9 Max (HX 470) splits its 2TB across two NVMe slots (M.2 2280 and M.2 2230), while the Geekom IT13 (2TB) fits the same 2TB capacity onto a single M.2 2280 drive. The A9 Max also adds a second 2.5G Ethernet port the IT13 doesn't have.

Choose the Geekom A9 Max (HX 470) if you want a dedicated NPU for local AI work, newer DDR5 memory, or dual Ethernet ports for a home-lab setup.

Choose the Geekom IT13 (2TB) if you want a well-reviewed, more affordable mini PC with the same 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage, and don't need a local AI accelerator.
