2026 verdict
Meteor Lake with 32GB against a Pentium 8GB kit, and the Geekom GT1 Mega Ultra 5 wins this mini PC comparison.
It leads on DDR5 versus DDR4, 32GB versus 8GB, and 1TB versus 256GB, with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, Arc graphics, an AI Boost NPU, Wi-Fi 7 and two USB4 ports. The Geekom Mini Air12 (Pentium 7505 8GB + 256GB) is cheaper and still a quiet Windows 11 Pro kiosk box with Mini DisplayPort 1.4. Choose the Ultra 5 as a 32GB Intel desktop; choose the Mini Air12 when the job is browsing, signage or a VESA-mounted classroom PC.
