Deal | GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC with 32 GB RAM and 8-core Ryzen 7 APU scores 23% price cut

Folks on the lookout for a new mini PC will be pleased to note that the GMKtec K8 Plus is now available with a lucrative discount on Amazon, valid only for Prime members. Available for just around $689, this mini PC comes equipped with a capable AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, 512 GB storage, and a whopping 32 GB of RAM.

While it's true that finding a similarly specced mini PC a year or so ago would be a lot cheaper, the ongoing insanity surrounding memory and storage prices surely makes the current offer respectable enough. Sold directly by GMKtec's official Amazon store, customers can take advantage of the deal without harboring any fears.

K8 Plus mini PC packs Hawk Point APU with 32 GB RAM

The GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC, as mentioned earlier, is powered by the 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS APU. Based on the aging Zen 4 architecture, this Hawk Point APU is more than powerful enough to cruise through the vast majority of daily tasks. For those who care about synthetic benchmarks, this 2-year-old octa-core APU is only around 10% slower than the latest Ryzen AI 7 450 APU in multicore benchmarks such as Cinebench 2024.

This specific variant of the mini PC comes equipped with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and 512 GB of storage. The memory can be upgraded to a whopping 96 GB, while the storage can be upgraded to a maximum of 8 TB. That said, considering just how pricey storage and memory are right now, maxing out the mini PC will definitely be quite an expensive affair. The I/O on offer has been detailed below:

• Dual USB4
• Dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, dual USB 2.0 Type-A
• Dual 2.5 G Ethernet
• OCuLink
• WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless connectivity

OCuLink to the rescue for GPU-intensive tasks

Gamers will be disappointed to note that there is no room for discrete graphics, which is to be expected from a mini PC that is just under 1 liter in volume. That said, the Radeon 780M iGPU should be able to pull off acceptable performance in very low-end titles and graphically non-intensive workloads. Gamers who demand more GPU horsepower do have the option to utilize the OCuLink port, which would allow for potent eGPU connections.

At its current price on Amazon, there is no doubt that the GMKtec K8 Plus Mini PC brings a lot of value to the table for folks who can take advantage of its 32 GB memory and decent CPU performance. Those who have never been Amazon Prime members can also opt for a free trial.
