2026 verdict
Three years of coverage and a 1TB drive put the Geekom A5 Pro 2026 Edition (16GB + 1TB) ahead of the GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB) in this mini PC pairing.
Both ship 16GB of DDR4 in upgradeable SO-DIMM slots, but the Geekom adds an all-aluminum chassis, two HDMI 2.0 ports plus USB-C DisplayPort for four screens, an SD card reader and a Kensington lock, while the G3 Pro stays in plastic with HDMI 1.4 outputs and no USB-C video at all. The GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB) is still the cheaper, better-reviewed option and keeps a second M.2 bay free for extra storage. Buyers who want a quieter office box with more ports and a longer warranty should take the Geekom; buyers who want the lowest cost and a spare drive bay should stay with the GMKtec.
