If you're looking for a compact desktop PC to handle basic tasks without occupying much space, the GMKtec Nucbox G3 Plus Mini PC N150 might interest you - especially now, since it's selling at just $194.98, matching its lowest recorded price.
Powered by Intel's entry-level N150 processor, this mini PC should be apt for daily tasks like browsing, streaming videos, and basic productivity work. The Intel N150 chip includes four efficient Gracemont cores running at speeds up to 3.6 GHz, designed for energy efficiency rather than heavy multitasking. It's a pretty solid performer for basic use, but its single-channel RAM configuration and lower number of GPU cores limit performance in demanding tasks like gaming or heavy video editing.
Memory-wise, it includes 16GB of DDR4 RAM, enough to smoothly handle several open applications. Storage shouldn't be an issue either, with its fast 1TB PCIe M.2 SSD, giving quick boot times and file transfers. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics (750MHz, up to 1000MHz) can handle dual 4K displays through its two HDMI 2.0 ports, making it well-suited for productivity setups, digital signage, or home entertainment systems.
The device also features robust connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and high-speed 2.5Gb Ethernet. In total, the GMKtec Nucbox G3 Plus offers four USB 3.2 ports, two HDMI ports, one USB Type-C port, one RJ45 Ethernet port (2.5Gbps), a 3.5mm audio jack, and a DC power port.
While it's definitely not meant for gaming or heavy-duty tasks, its quiet cooling system, small footprint, and low power consumption (way under 10 W with no significant load) make it an attractive option for home offices, education settings, or business environments. It also supports Wake-on-LAN, Auto Power On, and compatibility with multiple OS platforms like Windows, Linux, and Ubuntu.
Priced at $194.98, down from its regular price of around $249.99, it's a solid choice if you need a quiet, power-efficient desktop replacement for everyday tasks.
