It leads on price, a 3 year warranty, DDR5-5600, Radeon 780M and a 1TB SSD. The GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) is the one that ships 32GB instead of 16GB, with a Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, dual 2.5G Ethernet and two USB4 ports of its own. Take the AX8 Max as the better-covered daily machine; take the M7 Ultra when 32GB from day one is the requirement and a 1 year warranty is acceptable.
