When it comes to Mini PCs, Geekom is a name that most of you will be familiar with as they offer a wide range of solutions based on AMD and Intel hardware.
We have covered a range of Mini PCs in the last couple of years featuring the latest and greatest solutions from each CPU vendor. While we have seen some incredibly powerful options that cost premium, Geekom has now announced a 2025 version of its popular IT13 Mini PC which has been upgraded with the Core i9-13900HK. This new variant is called the IT13 2025 Edition, and retails for around $700 US, making it a suitable option for those who want lots of processing power available in a Mini package.
Geekom IT13 2025 Mini PC – Specifications At A Glance
The Geekom IN13 is a compact yet powerful Mini PC that comes equipped with the Intel Core i9-13900HK. Our unit was the fully decked out variant with two DDR4-3200 32 GB (16 GB x2) SO-DIMM memory modules and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 M.2 drive. It is very similar to the GT13, which we reviewed last year, but the company states that the new CPU offers a 10% improvement in performance.
Coming to the specifications, the Geekom IT13 2025 Mini PC rocks the Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU which features 14 cores and 20 threads in a 6+8 configuration, 24 MB of L3 cache, and a boost clock of up to 5.40 GHz.

For the GPU, the Intel Core i9-13900HK is packing an Intel Iris Xe iGPU, which features a total of 96 EUs and clocks up to 1.5 GHz.

But it is still enough for low-level graphics workloads.

Conclusion – Great $600 US Mini PC For Productivity & Office Use
The Geekom IT13 2025 edition comes in as a solid upgrade over the GT13 PRO. It features an Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU, offering the same 14 cores as the predecessors, but running at a higher sustained clock speed, and offering a 10% boost in performance. The iGPU remains the same, but other updates are well worth mentioning.
The Mini PC is tiny and features a great set of IO capabilities with loads of USB Type-C and Type-A ports, including two USB4 ports and 3 USB Type-A (3.2 Gen 2) ports, great wired and wireless networking options, and the ability to drive two monitors at once via the HDMI duo. The 1 TB of SSD storage (Gen4) and 32 GB of DDR4 memory are an ample amount for the majority of users. Thermals could be an issue under sustained usage since we saw over unit hovering around 80C most of the time. The iGPU is also a bit lowly but good enough for all-day office and productivity use cases.
In terms of price, the unit is priced at $689 US, and with the 6% discount, it goes to sub-$650, which is fantastic considering the GT13 was priced at $699, and with the IT13, you get better performance and better IO capabilities.
