2026 verdict
Quadruple the SSD and double the RAM, and the GMKtec NucBox M2 Pro S (16GB + 1TB) is the mini PC that wins.
It leads on 16GB versus 8GB and on 1TB versus 256GB, with an i7-1185G7 and Iris Xe Graphics G7 for a usable Windows desktop. The Geekom Mini Air12 (Pentium 7505 8GB + 256GB) is cheaper and the one with a 3 year warranty, which still fits a kiosk or classroom terminal. Take the M2 Pro S for everyday work; take the Mini Air12 when the brief is light and coverage matters more than cores.
