Geekom has revealed yet another member of its 'XT' family of mini PCs. However, unlike most other mini PCs that have recently hit the scene, the Geekom XT1 Mega utilizes Intel Core Ultra 100H CPUs instead of the newer Arrow Lake-H units. The system can be equipped with either the Core Ultra 5 125H, or the Core Ultra 9 185H. Compared to the Core Ultra 9 285H, the 185H is roughly around 15% slower in multicore benchmarks, which is not exactly an earth-shattering difference. The integrated 8-core Arc iGPU (Xe LPG) found in the high-end SKUs boast enough compute power to challenge the RTX 2050 Mobile GPU in certain scenarios, although it is by no means powerful enough to compete with newer systems that feature discrete graphics.

The XT1 Mega mini PC can be configured with up to 64 GB of memory, courtesy of its dual SODIMM slots. A single M.2 2280 and a single M.2 2242 slot take care of storage requirements, although a 2.5-inch slot is not present. In terms of I/O, the XT1 boasts a total of five USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, dual HDMI 2.0, dual 2.5 G ethernet, dual USB4, a single audio jack, and a single UBS 2.0 Type-A port. There is no room inside for discrete graphics, which would have made an OCuLink port a welcome addition. Due to its absence, however, customers will have to settle for slower USB4-based eGPUs. Wireless connectivity, on the other hand, is taken care of by Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The Core Ultra 5 125H variant with 32 GB of memory and a 1 TB SSD costs $769, and the higher-end Core Ultra 9 185H variant costs $989.
