Hello everyone and welcome back to another Budget Builds Episode, where today the good guys over at GEEKOM have been back in touch, and have asked me to take a look at their new IT13 MAX PC...Which bares a lot of resemblance (Spec Wise) to their GT1 Mega PC that came out a little while ago, and is actually what I use every day to edit my videos. But with more RAM, even better cooling, and somehow even more performance, and join me as we find out just how good Intel's Core 9 Ultra is...When they tune it up to the Max (No genuinely its the highest scoring Core 9 Ultra I have ever tested). So join me for some testing with everything from Gaming, Through to NPU and AI Testing.
I say this as someone who edits on one of their PCs multiple days of the week for hours at a time, if you are interested in anything workstation related this will not let you down, they've also sent over some of their current discounts going on!
