2026 verdict
The GMKtec K17 Plus (32GB + 1TB) is the more modern mini PC here, with newer silicon and memory, while the Geekom IT13 (2TB) keeps its edge in storage and warranty.
The K17 Plus pairs a Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V and Arc 140V graphics with 32GB of LPDDR5X at 8533 MT/s, a 1TB NVMe drive and USB4 with 100W power delivery. The IT13 runs an older Core i9-13900HK with Iris Xe graphics, 32GB of DDR4, a 2TB drive plus an M.2 SATA slot and a 2.5 inch bay, and it carries a three-year warranty against one year on the K17 Plus. Both are compact Windows desktops with integrated graphics. Pick the Geekom IT13 for storage capacity and a long warranty, and the GMKtec K17 Plus for newer silicon, faster memory and a dedicated NPU.

What the differences mean
CPU and graphics
The GMKtec K17 Plus (32GB + 1TB) runs a Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V with Arc 140V graphics, against the older Core i9-13900HK and Iris Xe graphics in the Geekom IT13 (2TB). The K17 Plus is the newer platform with a real NPU.
Memory
32GB of LPDDR5X at 8533 MT/s, soldered, in the GMKtec K17 Plus (32GB + 1TB), against 32GB of DDR4 at 3200 MT/s in SODIMM slots on the Geekom IT13 (2TB), which can be upgraded to 64GB. Faster versus more flexible.
Storage
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) ships 2TB and adds an M.2 2242 SATA slot and a 2.5 inch bay, while the GMKtec K17 Plus (32GB + 1TB) ships 1TB with a second M.2 slot. The IT13 starts with twice the storage.
Wireless
Both machines carry Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, so wireless does not separate them. The split here is memory speed and the port mix rather than connectivity.
Ports and warranty
The Geekom IT13 (2TB) adds a Kensington lock slot, a VESA mount and a three-year warranty, while the GMKtec K17 Plus (32GB + 1TB) offers USB4 with 100W power delivery and two HDMI 2.1 outputs under a one-year warranty.

What owners say
Geekom IT13 (2TB) owners describe a small, quiet powerhouse: near-silent at idle, solid in the hand, and fast enough for 4K editing, large photo batches, music software and even local AI models, with many running it as a 24/7 Plex or NAS server. The USB4 ports, Wi-Fi 6E and three-year warranty come up often, and several bought more for colleagues. The caveats they raise are integrated graphics that limit serious gaming, warmth under sustained load, and inconsistent customer support.
