Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official Geekom and GMKtec sites.

The IT13 counters hard on the things that matter for a long-term storage-heavy build, a full 2TB across three separate bays and a three-year warranty against the M7 Ultra's one year, plus a genuinely fast Core i9-13900HK that owners already run for 4K editing, DAWs and local AI. The M7 Ultra trades that raw storage for faster DDR5 memory and a front OCuLink port that opens a path to an external GPU. If your priority is maximum storage and warranty coverage for creative work, the Geekom IT13 is the better buy; if you want the newer memory platform and eGPU flexibility, go with the GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra.

What the differences mean

Storage capacity and bays

The IT13 ships 2TB across three bays, an M.2 NVMe slot, an M.2 SATA slot and a 2.5 inch SATA bay. The M7 Ultra ships 512GB across two M.2 Gen 4 bays, with one free. The IT13 has more room today; the M7 Ultra has more room to add later.

Memory standard

The IT13 runs DDR4-3200 to a 64GB ceiling. The M7 Ultra runs the newer DDR5-4800, also to 64GB, so the platforms differ even where the maximum matches.

Warranty

Three years on the Geekom IT13 (2TB) against one year on the GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra (32GB + 512GB).

External GPU path

The M7 Ultra has a front OCuLink port for an external GPU dock. The IT13 has no equivalent, relying on its dual USB4 ports for any external dock.

Networking

The M7 Ultra carries dual 2.5G Ethernet. The IT13 has a single 2.5G port.

Which one to buy if

  • you need maximum onboard storage across separate bays today
    Geekom IT13 (2TB)

    Its 2TB spread across three bays beats the M7 Ultra's 512GB across two.

  • you want a path to a discrete GPU without replacing the machine
    GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra (32GB + 512GB)

    Its front OCuLink port opens a real PCIe Gen4 x4 link; the IT13 has no equivalent.

  • dual-NIC networking matters for a router or firewall build
    GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra (32GB + 512GB)

    Two 2.5G Ethernet ports against the IT13's single port.

  • a three-year warranty backing a storage-heavy creative build matters
    Geekom IT13 (2TB)

    The Geekom IT13 (2TB) carries three years of coverage against the M7 Ultra's one.

What owners say

Both of these attract the same kind of buyer, someone running virtualization, media serving or creative work off a machine the size of a paperback. Geekom IT13 (2TB) owners run 4K edits, DAWs and even local AI models on it while staying near-silent at idle, and value the three separate storage bays for a big media library, though the chassis runs warm under sustained load and support has been hit or miss. GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) owners lean on its front OCuLink port to add a real GPU down the line and praise how quiet the Hyper Ice Chamber cooling stays through the same kind of workload, while a couple needed a new Windows activation key on first boot and one unit's graphics failed within two months.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
