GMK launches palm-sized mini PC with affordable starting price

GMKtec has launched a new mini PC in China, the G5S. One of its highlights is its palm-sized chassis, with GMK noting it measures 72x72x44.5mm². This form factor makes it an easy fit for most workspaces.

While it's tiny, there are a good number of connectivity ports. The GMK G5S comes with three USB 3.2 Type-A, one USB Type-C, one 3.5mm audio, one Gigabit Ethernet, and one HDMI 2.0 port.

Under the hood, the mini PC features the Intel Celeron N5095, a dated processor from the Jasper Lake. This low-power CPU is paired with 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and GMK is offering two storage options. Even though the memory isn't expandable, there's an M.2 slot that can house a 2242 SSD (1TB Transcend MTS425 curr. $250.53 on Amazon).

The company further highlights that the mini PC sports a copper heat pipe that's paired with a silent fan. This cooling setup is said to allow the processor to deliver 10W of performance.

As for the price, the configuration with 128GB of storage has a launch price of CNY 1,149, about $169. There's a 256GB configuration available, which launched at CNY 1,849, around $272. GMK is expected to launch the G5S in the global market soon.
