With the RAM Crisis driving the prices of PC towers and laptops to ludicrous heights, Mini-PCs have become a popular alternative option for people who want to get their everyday tasks done without breaking their bank account.

One of our favorite examples of these compact-sized Mini-PCs is the dependable Geekom IT13, which is currently enjoying a 33% discount for $569.04 at Amazon (at the time of this posting).

The Geekom IT13 is outfitted with a 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU, an integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

With these hardware specs, it can easily perform rudimentary and advanced productivity tasks like hosting video games, crunching numbers, and drafting documents in Microsoft Office, and browsing the internet for information in a speedy fashion with no lag.

It also features a varied selection of HDMI and USB ports for monitors and accessories, the ability to support four 4K monitors at once or one 8K monitor, and a compact design of 4.6 x 4.4 x 1.9 inches, so it will take up very little real estate on your desk.

The only downsides of the Geekom IT13 are that it uses DD4M RAM, which has been surpassed these days by DDR5 RAM in terms of performance and affordability, and its steep MSRP of $849.00, which is considered overpriced for a Mini-PC.

Thankfully, you won't have to worry about that, thanks to Amazon's $569.04 discount deal that will save you $279.96 off that pricey MSRP.

So, if you're looking for one of the best Mini-PCs that can help you clear your daily work chores with plenty of ports for 4K monitors, then the Geekom IT13 is for you.

FAQ

Is its Ram and storage upgradeable?

Yes, the Geekom IT13 Mini-PC's default 16GB RAM and 1TB can be replaced and upgraded.

It has two SODIMM slots that can support up to 64GB DDR4-3200 RAM and a M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 x4 SSD slot, an M.2 2242 SATA slot, and a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay (7mm) that supports up to 2TB.

Is the Geekom IT13 good for gaming?

While Geekom IT13's Intel Core i9-13900HK is capable of helping it run older, light games on low graphical settings, it was never designed for demanding AAA gaming, so it shouldn't be used as such.

However, you can bypass that limitation with Cloud Gaming services like NVIDIA GeForce NOW.

Is it compatible with VESA mounts?

Yes it is. In fact, the Geekom IT13 comes packaged with a VESA mount so you can attached to the back of a monitor.
