I always try my best to separate brand talking points from performance comparisons and intentionally avoided making preferential statements to reflect the nature of the brand partnership. The Mac mini has been a staple of the Apple Silicon lineup- a great value option with strong performance and a reasonable price tag! But nowadays, as Intel is upping their performance game, there’s a lot more competition from UCFFs- Ultra Compact Form Factor PCs. These things can get pretty fast, in fact Geekom sent over their new IT13 which comes packing a core i9 13900h, a first for UCFFs. Today we’ll put it through its paces and see how this upgradable little box compares to Apple’s most powerful Mac mini offering time stamps 0:00 Mac mini design isn’t very mini 1:11 IT13 Unboxing 3:07 Easy upgrades! 4:20 I/O 4:49 Performance benchmarks 6:29 Fan noise 7:01 Thermal testing 7:50 GPU comparison 8:28 Interesting performance results 9:12 Value differences 10:01 Key takeaway: smol computr good Follow me on Twitter: Follow me on Twitch: Join my Subreddit!
