"Desktop towers eat up precious desk space, generate noise and cost more than they should. Mini PCs solve all three problems by delivering full Windows performance in a package smaller than a hardcover book. The GMKtec G10 with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed offers a compelling alternative to Apple's Mac Mini if you need Windows instead of macOS: Amazon just dropped this 512GB mini PC to an all-time low of $189 instead of $299, and gives you real desktop power for less than a basic Chromebook."
"The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U is driving the G10 and it is a 64-bit processor that features four cores and comes from AMD's Zen+ architecture. This quad-core processor has a processing speed of 2.1 GHz and requires only a 15W thermal design power so that it is energy-friendly for use every day. This processor can further scale up to speeds of 3.7 GHz when it comes to single-threaded activity for smooth performance for users when it comes to web browsing, document processing, and video streaming."
"The integrated Radeon Vega 8 has a processing speed of up to 1.2 GHz and uses the system memory along with the CPU. The unified memory allows for faster processing by avoiding the lag that comes when the CPU has to access different memories which makes it efficient for graphics processing. The Vega 8 processor has around 35 percent better graphics processing compared to Intel N-series, such as N100 or N150, used in entry-level mini-computers."
The GMKtec G10 is a compact mini PC running Windows 11 Pro and configured with a 512GB SSD. It uses an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U quad-core processor (2.1 GHz base, up to 3.7 GHz boost) with a 15W TDP for energy-efficient everyday computing. Integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics run up to 1.2 GHz and share system memory for improved graphics performance over many entry-level Intel N-series chips. The unit ships with 16GB DDR4 in dual-channel (two 8GB SO-DIMMs) and supports up to 64GB via upgrades. The PCIe 3.0 SSD provides faster storage access. A recent price drop made it highly affordable compared with other small-form-factor desktops.
