Geekom XT13 Pro Review: A Tiny PC that Packs a Core i9 Punch!

TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy Geekom XT13 Pro review! Geekom is back with another MIGHTY MOUSE PC!
We recently looked at the A8 which had an AMD Ryzen 9. Similar form factor, but there are a lot more differences than I was expecting.
We're seeing a run on current gen Intel and AMD hardware, with some awesome sales. Who's the right fit for Intel's most powerful laptop CPU in a tiny box? Let's take a look!

[@jimcabezola3051]

I like this form factor, too. Just ripped out the burnt-out guts of my 2006 Mac Mini and screwed in a Raspberry Pi4. Looks ridiculous, but I like that little box.

[@francisfalco-jk1iz]

always you best review, thanks

[@GEEKOMPC]

Your feedback regarding our GEEKOM products is incredibly important to us. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

[@mvz]

Qualcomm mini PCs are going to be awesome.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I'm bummed the Dev Kit machine still seems on hold, but I think we'll get some solid options late early next year. 👍

[@yensteel]

Imagine when those are put inside computing sticks. They would be 4x more powerful than those cherry lake or celeron computers. Still running windows.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It'll be a fun transition, especially with the lower power ARM chips. Passive cooled X Plus is gonna be rad.

[@farishanafiah8461]

​@@yensteelI'd so love to see ARM-powered PC stick. About time we see such a thing.

[@farishanafiah8461]

13:55 Ah yes, that NexDock XL lapdock. You never disappoints when it comes to lapdock use. 😍😍

[@farishanafiah8461]

11:16 I'd avoid those eGPU with built-in GPU cards as you can't upgrade the cards in the future. I'd get something like a Razer Core X Chroma or an AKiTiO Node Titan enclosure and get any Nvidia GeForce 30 series desktop GPU cards. Maybe the base and mid-tier GeForce 40 series could do as well.

[@sucafrutpi]

eGPU was honestly my first question. I feel like those don't get enough serious consideration and round out computers like these.

[@ashs5971]

What's the difference between this (XT13 Pro) and the GT13 Pro (other than looks)?!

[@mipad553]

what happens if we connect two pc with m.2 slot cable eachother?

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

Wait for Thunderbolt 5. Then eGPUs will become viable.

[@tyoong719]

How reliable is the Raptor Lake chip?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

As far as I knew, the main stability issues were on the proper desktop sockets, not the mobile parts? Someone will have to correct me on that if I have it wrong.

[@paulr7678]

First. Woohoo. I was looking at this one actually.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I've had SOLID experiences with Geekom. It's a crazy fight between this and their AMD A8.

[@paulr7678]

@@SomeGadgetGuy I only have a couple mini PCs that run as home servers and just sit there all day headless. Been thinking about one I actually would use as a computer for stuff as well, since 90% of the time my laptop is plugged in via HDMI anyways. May as well mount a mini PC and call it a day.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

That sounds like a good plan to me!

[@thetechboyorg]

Wait...web apps take lots of RAM? Hmm

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Who knew?

[@thetechboyorg]

@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah

[@TheSektor13]

Geekom EU prices are like being premium a brand. I am not sure where you see "great" deals.

[@kmkzer0-999]

"nicyer"
