2026 verdict
Zen 4 versus Comet Lake is the real split, and the Geekom A8 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) is the mini PC to buy.
It leads on a three-year warranty, DDR5-5600 instead of DDR4-2666, and a 1TB Gen4 SSD against a 512GB drive. The GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB) is the more affordable of the two and ships the same 16GB SODIMM starting point in a lower-power 36W chassis, so it still fits a light office or kiosk job. Pick the A8 for everyday Windows work that needs headroom; pick the G3 Pro when the budget is the constraint and an older i3-10110U is enough.
