GMK Unveils Budget-Friendly Intel N100 Mini PCs: NucBox G2 and G3

GMK has expanded its lineup of mini PCs with the introduction of the NucBox G2 and NucBox G3. Both models are powered by the energy-efficient 6-watt Intel Processor N100 chip, offering a budget-friendly option for those interested in compact computing.

The NucBox G2 features a palm-sized design measuring just 3.4″ x 3.4″ x 1.6″. Despite its small size, it offers a robust set of ports, including two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 port, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, three USB-A ports, an audio jack, and a USB-C port for power. However, it does have some limitations, such as non-upgradeable LPDDR5 memory and an M.2 2242 slot for SATA storage instead of the larger M.2 2280 slot for NVMe storage.

The NucBox G2 is available in various configurations, including a model with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $190. Additionally, it can be purchased from Amazon, with a 12GB/18GB model priced at $153.

On the other hand, the NucBox G3 boasts a slightly larger form factor, measuring 4.5″ x 4.2″ x 1.7″. It offers DDR4 memory and an M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD.
