2026 verdict
For anyone who needs graphics and a large shared memory pool, the Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) wins this pair of mini PCs.
AMD's Strix Halo platform gives it a Radeon 8060S fed by 64 GB of LPDDR5X at 7500 MT/s, plus dual 2.5G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 7 and a fingerprint reader. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) answers with a different strength: an Intel Core i9-13900HK, a quieter desktop profile and 2 TB across three bays, including a 2.5-inch SATA drive, and its owners rate it highly for 4K editing, DAWs and always-on Plex duty. Choose the Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) when GPU compute or local models drive the decision, and the Geekom IT13 (2TB) when bulk storage, a lower price and a well-reviewed everyday powerhouse matter more.

What the differences mean
Graphics class
The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) runs a Radeon 8060S, the top Strix Halo integrated GPU, while the Geekom IT13 (2TB) uses Intel Iris Xe graphics. For GPU rendering, gaming or local model inference the AMD machine is in a different class.
Memory
The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) has 64 GB of LPDDR5X at 7500 MT/s, soldered and permanent. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) uses 32 GB of DDR4-3200 that can be taken to 64 GB, so it is slower memory but upgradeable.
Storage
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) ships 2 TB across three bays, an M.2 2280 NVMe, an M.2 2242 SATA and a 2.5-inch SATA slot, so bulk storage fits inside. The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) ships 1 TB on PCIe Gen4 and supports RAID but has no 2.5-inch bay.
Processor platform
The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) runs an eight-core Ryzen AI Max+ 388 on Strix Halo. The Geekom IT13 (2TB) runs an Intel Core i9-13900HK, a capable productivity part that owners rely on for 4K editing and music production, but without the AI-focused architecture.
Noise and thermals
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) is described by owners as near-silent at idle but warm under sustained load, with the fans staying on. The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) uses vapor chamber cooling for sustained GPU workloads.
Which one to buy if
- you run local AI models or GPU rendering
The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) gives its Radeon 8060S 64 GB of high-bandwidth shared memory.
- you need lots of internal storage
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) ships 2 TB across three bays, including a 2.5-inch SATA slot for bulk drives.
- you want a proven, quiet everyday workstation
Owners rate the Geekom IT13 (2TB) highly for 4K editing, DAWs and Plex duty, and it is the more affordable of the two.
- you want the strongest graphics in a small box
The Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) carries the top Strix Halo graphics engine and 64 GB of fast unified memory.

What owners say
Geekom IT13 (2TB) owners describe it the same way again and again: a small, quiet powerhouse in a solid metal chassis. It stays near-silent at idle, with the fan only audible under load, and owners push it well past office work into 4K video editing, batches of hundreds of RAW photos, professional DAWs, local language models and 24/7 Plex or NAS duty. The dual HDMI ports drive 4K and ultrawide displays, and owners single out the three-year warranty and the value for money, several buying more units for colleagues. Their warnings are an integrated Iris Xe GPU that is fine for casual games only, a case that runs warm under sustained load, and support that was fast for some buyers and silent for at least one.
