GEEKOM IT1 Mega

The GEEKOM IT1 Mega is a compact Mini PC built around the Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 185H, a 16-core, 22-thread chip that turbos to 5.10 GHz. It ships with Windows 11 Pro installed, 32GB of DDR5 RAM (expandable up to 64GB), and 2TB of NVMe storage, so it has the headroom for video editing and software development as well as everyday productivity and light gaming.

Networking runs over Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports. The rest of the port set covers USB 4, HDMI, and an SD card reader for both work and entertainment setups. The case measures 5.39 x 5.19 x 2.27 inches, and the memory ceiling plus the second M.2 slot keep it worth a power user’s time.

Sixteen cores with 64GB of memory headroom

A 2.30 GHz base clock and a 5.10 GHz turbo on the Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 185H leave room to run a virtual machine alongside daily work without a reboot. The integrated Intel Arc graphics handle light gaming and media editing.

Two SODIMM slots carry the 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 5600MT/s, and swapping both modules takes the machine up to 64GB. Storage starts with a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD in the 2280 slot; a second 2242 slot accepts a SATA III drive of up to 1TB. Owners can weight the machine toward capacity or toward speed without replacing the boot drive.

On the wireless side the card supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports suit a professional setup or a home server that needs two segments. Wired peripherals and displays connect through USB 4, HDMI, and an SD card reader.

Reviewer Insights

As of mid-2026 no established lab or YouTube channel has published a measured, hands-on review of this model. The IT1 Mega is easy to confuse with the GEEKOM GT1 Mega, a separate and larger chassis that shares the Core Ultra 9 185H and did get wide coverage (NotebookCheck, TechRadar, CNX Software, Guru3D, and others). Those GT1 Mega figures come from a different cooling design and power profile, so they do not carry over.

The two configurations Starry Hope tracks use Intel Meteor Lake chips that launched in late 2023 and early 2024. The base build pairs the Core Ultra 5 125H (14 cores, 18 threads, 28-watt class) with a PassMark CPU mark near 22,100; the top build steps up to the Core Ultra 9 185H (16 cores, 22 threads, 45-watt class) at a PassMark CPU mark near 29,400. Both carry Intel Arc integrated graphics and the AI Boost NPU. For 2026 context, these are roughly two-and-a-half-year-old parts: they still handle office work, multitasking, and media comfortably, but newer Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) and AMD Ryzen AI 300 mobile chips have since moved ahead on efficiency and integrated-graphics performance.

GEEKOM’s own marketing leads on connectivity. Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, dual 2.5Gb Ethernet, two USB4 ports, and up to 8K display output are vendor claims drawn from the official spec sheet. The compact 5.39 by 5.19 by 2.27 inch case is actively cooled, and the owners in the Customer Reviews section describe that tradeoff directly, with capable everyday performance and audible fan noise once the 185H is pushed. Nobody has yet measured idle and load wattage, acoustics, sustained clocks, or per-game frame rates on this specific unit.

Customer Reviews

Across 31 ratings on Amazon, the GEEKOM IT1 Mega averages 4.4 stars, with 75% of reviewers leaving five stars and the remaining quarter split across the lower tiers. A verified buyer named Eugene N. Neigoff wrote that it “Ran auto CAD very well and it’s inconspicuous in my office,” and verified buyer M. Thuot reported running it “for 5 months with a 4K display with no problems.” Jane E., a verified purchaser, said “It is perfectly silent unless the fan is running, and then it makes little noise.”

The lower scores cluster around two issues. Verified buyer Mike, who otherwise gave it five stars, said “the fan noise is rather loud” and that “It is much louder than my desktop computer was.” The bigger complaint is the Intel Ultra 9 185H processor not living up to its spec sheet. Verified buyer Steven Adamczyk, in a three-star review, called the chip “woefully underpowered” and warned “Don’t even think of playing anything but the most basic games on this unit,” while still rating it “a good machine for general business use.” Verified buyer Marshall Cant docked a star because “the new 185 level CPU isn’t as fast as the older 13900HK in actual day-to-day work” and suggested stepping up to the 285-class CPU instead. One reviewer also received a dead-on-arrival unit that Amazon replaced within a couple of days.

Buy it for the connectivity and the 64GB ceiling

Video editing on the GEEKOM IT1 Mega leans on the Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor and the 2TB NVMe drive, and the expandable RAM covers virtual machines. The Wi-Fi 7 radio, the dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports, and the USB 4 ports give a busy desk more room to add hardware than the case size suggests.

Anyone who wants a silent desk should look at a fanless machine instead, since the cooling here is active. Gamers and 3D artists who need a dedicated GPU will run into the limits of the integrated Arc graphics quickly.
