Deal | Sleek GMKtec K11 mini PC with AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and 32GB DDR5 gets big price cut

GMKtec should be a well-known brand among mini PC enthusiasts who might be in the market for a new desktop computer with a powerful AMD processor. To be more exact, this group of buyers might want to check out the Nucbox K11, which is currently on sale at Amazon.

This sale is for the flagship configuration that is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and 32GB DDR5 RAM. Thanks to a 25% or $200 discount, the GMKtec K11 has dropped back to $599 including free shipping. According to Camelcamelcamel, this matches the record-low price of this well-equipped mini PC, which is sold directly by the manufacturer but shipped by Amazon.

We’ve thoroughly reviewed the Nucbox K11 earlier this month and praised the intriguing price-performance ratio as well as the versatile port selection. In addition to USB-C 4.0, HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, the mini PC sports two Ethernet ports with 2.5Gbps and an OCuLink port that can be used to connect an external graphics card.

While an eGPU might be useful for gaming, the powerful Ryzen 9 chipset should handle most other regular daily computing tasks with relative ease. However, we ran into some more or less minor issues with 4K60 video playback and didn’t like the clear plastic topside of the chassis, which can scratch pretty easily. Apart from that, the GMKtec K11 is a decent mini PC that offers a decent bang for the buck.
