The new GMKTec G3 Pro mini PC is now available in the West. It’s a computer with a somewhat outdated processor, but it comes at a very tempting price.
This PC, announced a few days ago in China, is making the leap to the global market while maintaining its low price. It is powered by the low-power Intel Core i3-10110U chip with only two cores and four threads. This hardware has enough power to run Windows 11 and desktop programs, but not to play demanding games or run heavy tasks.
There are versions with 8/16 GB of DDR4 RAM in two SO-DIMMs, although it is expandable up to 64 GB. For storage, there is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD and an M.2 2242 SATA3 port, with default capacities of 256/512 GB. There is also a barebone option without storage or RAM.
Its RAM expansion capabilities are also noteworthy, thanks to its two DDR4 SODIMM slots and storage with two M2 NVMe 2280 and M2 SATA 2242 drives. We have VESA support and dual4K@60fps video output.
In terms of networking, it hasWi-Fi 6 andBluetooth 5.1 with internal antennas. The box also includes an RJ45 Gigabit network port. The connection interfaces include four USB-A 3.0 ports, two HDMI 1.4 video outputs , and audio input and output jacks. The version with RAM and disk has Windows 11 installed by default, but we can also install Linux if we want to get more out of this humble hardware.
