What owners say
Owners of both GMKtec boxes value the tiny footprint and the Windows 11 Pro licence, then they divide by budget. GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB) owners describe a palm-sized office PC that handles Word, browsing and 4K streaming, praise the dual-channel 16 GB it can grow to 64 GB and the free M.2 slot, and complain about no USB-C, HDMI 1.4 capping dual 4K at 24 Hz and a fan that is audible under load.
