Deal | AMD-powered mini PC with OCuLink and dual 2.5G Ethernet now available with 30% discount

The GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC is a pretty decent SFF system with enough computing power for almost any workload, provided that it is not too heavy on the GPU. Thanks to an ongoing sale on Amazon, the capable AMD Ryzen 7-powered mini PC can once again be purchased with a lucrative 30% discount, dropping its price down to $519.99.

The GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS APU based on the Zen 4 architecture, packing 8 cores and 16 threads. Although the chip may be around two years old, it performs pretty admirably and trades blows with the much newer Intel Core Ultra 5 225H. The Radeon 780M iGPU is also much faster than the Arc 130T found in the 225H, which is essential for a mini PC which lacks any form of internal discrete graphics. As such, some lightweight graphical workloads and casual gaming is surely possible on the K8 Plus mini PC.

Moreover, folks who demand even more graphics horsepower will be pleased to note that the GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC features an OCuLink port, which supports much faster eGPU connections than USB4. Memory and storage requirements are taken care of by 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and 1 TB of solid-state storage. Thanks to dual SODIMM slots and dual M.2 2280 slots, the memory and storage can be upgraded down the road, up to a whopping 96 GB and 8 TB respectively. The mini PC's I/O options are as follows:

• Dual USB4, dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, dual USB 2.0 Type-A
• HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1
• OCuLink
• Dual 2.5G Ethernet
• 3.5 mm audio jack

All told, the GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC is a decently well-equipped system which offers good performance and  plenty of ports at a relatively affordable price. Considering the limited-time nature of the deal, interested customers are advised to act quickly if they wish to take advantage of the offer.
