Notes

A 0.84 L Core Ultra 9 285H box with two socketed SO-DIMMs, OCuLink, two USB4 and one 2.5 GbE port, sold with 32 GB for under EUR 1,200 at the maker. It matches the Geekom IT15 on chip and memory bandwidth; no independent scored review was found.

Maker spec table lists memory support up to 6400 MHz; the speed of the 32 GB SKU is not stated, so memory speed uses DDR5-5600 (89.6 GB/s; 102.4 GB/s at 6400). Noise 40 dB (performance) and 30 dB (balanced) are maker claims, not tests. Only a Japanese hands-on (PC Watch, intro read only) and Notebookcheck launch coverage were found; no scored review. Release month from a rutab.net launch-news URL dated 2025-09-02; the EU Shopify listing was published 21 Jan 2026. Memory speed source: DDR5-5600 (conservative; maker supports up to 6400) x 128-bit = 89.6 GB/s.
