2026 verdict
Between the Geekom IT13 (1TB) and the GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB), the Geekom comes out on top on the strength of its Intel Core i9-13900HK, a higher owner rating, a 3 year warranty and double the storage at 1TB.
The GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) is simply the more affordable option, since both configurations here actually match at 32GB of memory. Both run an 8-core processor, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, but only the Geekom adds USB4 ports, an SD card reader and a Kensington lock. For raw performance and long-term support, the Geekom IT13 (1TB) is the stronger buy; for a tighter budget with the same memory capacity, the GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) still gets the job done.
