Head over to Amazon to check the GMKTec NucBox K3 Pro, a fully fledged Windows 11 Pro mini PC with a 12th core Intel Core i7 processor, only for this Black Friday. For all the talks of AMD and Ryzen dominating performance, Intel still is a very potent alternative especially from a value for money alternative.
We have reviewed it recently and said "On paper, this machine seems reasonable, and it is beautifully engineered. However, the processor was the bottom mobile i7 from the 12th generation, and the price isn’t appropriate for its performance. The K3 Pro is an excellent justification for buying the K2 instead." That was with a price 50% higher (around $600) though.
When paired with 24GB LPDDR5 memory (dual channel, upgradable up to 64GB) and 1TB SSD, it should easily breeze through all office and business tasks. Clearly this is a workstation-grade product although there’s no discrete graphics card.
Elsewhere, there’s Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 courtesy of an AMD RZ608 chip; note that there’s no card reader although GMKtek bundled a VESA mount, should you want to put it behind a monitor.
