2026 verdict
An older dual-core i3 is not in the same class, so the Geekom AX8 Max (16GB + 1TB) wins this mini PC comparison.
It takes warranty, DDR5-5600 versus DDR4-2666, and a 1TB Gen4 SSD versus 512GB, with dual 2.5G Ethernet and two USB4 ports on top. The GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB) remains the cheaper, lower-draw option in a 36W plastic chassis, and it still starts at 16GB. Choose the AX8 Max as a quiet daily Windows desktop; choose the G3 Pro only when the job is browsing and documents and the spend has to stay small.
