Pros:

  • Extremely small form factor
  • Solid build quality with inner metal frame
  • 32GB of DDR5 memory on all models
  • 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD included with the model we reviewed
  • Great for light 4K editing
  • Decent gaming performance in titles that support Intel XESS
  • Spare M.2 slot for additional storage (Sata speeds)
  • Easy to disassemble and upgrade

Cons:

  • Hampered by thermal throttling and triple digit CPU package temperatures when under sustained CPU intensive workloads
  • Expensive for the top spec model

KitGuru says: The IT15 is a useful, powerful and compact computer. Unfortunately it is hampered by very high CPU temperatures when under intensive CPU workloads.
