Deal | GMKtec NucBox G5 micro PC receives 20% Prime discount

Amazon has given the GMKtec NucBox G5 micro PC a 20% Prime-only discount off the MSRP, for a sales price of $143.99. The G5 can turn any television into a computer and comes with 12 GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256 GB M.2 2242 SATA storage, and Windows 11 Pro. This palm-sized computer can stream 4K videos, play light video games, and do office and web work with ease.

TV accessories like the Roku, Fire Stick, and Apple TV add features like music and video streaming to HDTVs, but they are limited by their closed systems. Users find that these streaming devices are unable to record live game play with OBS, update social media streams, or simply do homework with Office. Readers who want to record live over-the-air (OTA) football and basketball broadcasts can use the Hauppauge USB TV tuner to turn the G5 into a recorder.

For about the same price, the GMKtec NucBox G5 micro PC offers the same functionality as a Windows 11 computer when attached to any television or monitor. It measures just 2.83 x 2.83 x 1.75 inches (7.2 x 7.2 x 4.4 cm) and weighs only 5.9 ounces (206 g), allowing the micro PC to be hidden behind TVs. The PC is powered by the included USB-C power supply.

Built-in Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 5 connectivity enable the use of wireless keyboards with touchpads and wireless mice from the comfort of the couch. The NucBox G5 comes with three USB-A 3.2 ports, two 4K HDMI ports, a gigabit ethernet port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a security lock slot. The storage and WiFi card can be user-upgraded.
