Deal | Powerful mini PC with 32 GB DDR5 RAM is now $310 off, packs OCuLink support

Courtesy of an ongoing sale on Amazon Prime, the newly introduced GMKtec NucBox K16 mini PC can now be purchased with an exciting 34% discount on the platform, bringing its price down to just $589 for a limited time. Needless to say, deals such as these offer much-needed respite during the ongoing DRAM pricing crisis.

GMKtec K16 mini PC: AMD Zen 3+ still packs a punch

As indicated by our in-depth review, the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS APU powering the system features an 8-core setup, and promises decent multi-core performance that is around 25% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V "Lunar Lake" chip, albeit the latter is much more efficient.

This specific variant of the K16 mini PC packs a whopping 32 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM, which should be more than enough for the vast majority of day-to-day and moderately intensive workloads.

The tiny 11.1 x 10.7 x 6.3 cm or 4.37 x 4.21 x 2.48 inch case lacks physical room for discrete graphics, making the mini PC rely solely on the Radeon 680M iGPU. While far from a powerhouse, the integrated GPU can manage playable frame rates in older titles at modest settings. OCuLink support is present, allowing for relatively powerful eGPU setups for those who need additional graphics grunt. 

A healthy array of I/O is on offer aboard the NucBox K16, detailed below:

• Triple USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 2.0 Type-A
• USB 4.0 Type-C (with DP 1.4, PD)
• OCuLink
• Dual 2.5G Ethernet
• HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.3
• WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2

At its current price on Amazon, the GMKtec NucBox K16 mini PC packs a healthy amount of value when considering the 32 GB RAM and 512 GB of solid-state storage. While the RAM is not user-upgradeable, the storage is, courtesy of dual M.2 2280 slots. The WLAN module is also swappable.
