GEEKOM Mini IT13 PC Review،

THE GEEKOM Mini IT13 mini PC is a fascinating blend of compact design and powerful performance, making it an attractive choice for those looking for a small but powerful computing solution. The device’s use of the 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900H processor, complemented by Intel Iris content creation and multitasking.

One of the standout features of the Mini IT13 is its flexibility in terms of connectivity and upgrade potential. It has a full range of ports, including two USB4 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as additional USB and Ethernet ports. This versatility is further enhanced by its support for multiple displays and entry-level VR, making it an excellent choice for various professional and leisure applications.

Big power in a small package

Another strong point is the compactness of the Mini IT13. This mini PC is one of the smallest on the market, despite the power it packs under the hood. Its size makes it extremely portable for on-the-go video editing or other intensive tasks. It can also be mounted under a desk or even on the back of a monitor, making for a very clean setup.

However, the small size and limited cooling may cause some performance issues. The i9 version of the Mini IT13 doesn’t perform as well as I expected, and I’d be curious to compare it to the i7 version to see how big of a difference there is. Leave the fan running at 100% and noise may become a problem. With most other GEEKOM PCs I’ve tested remaining relatively quiet, I was surprised that the Mini IT13’s cooling solution was so offensive.

An unexpected gap

Additionally, the Mini IT13’s reliance on DDR4 memory is a major point of contention. In an era where DDR5 is becoming the standard, especially in high-end computing devices, the presence of DDR4 could pose a barrier. The product’s higher price – $799 for the i9 model – positions it in a segment where cutting-edge technology is expected, and it falls short here.

Don’t get me wrong, GEEKOM still offers an incredibly powerful computer in a very small package with the Mini IT13, but I can’t be that warm with my recommendation given the shortcomings.

Final verdict

The GEEKOM Mini IT13 is a high-quality, compact and versatile mini PC that excels in connectivity and performance, particularly suitable for professional and multitasking environments. Although it has some limitations in terms of memory and cooling technology, its strengths in terms of processing power, I/O offering and compact design make it a strong contender in its category.
