2026 verdict
Two very different generations of GMKtec sit in this comparison, and the GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) is the better all-round mini PC, rated higher by owners and ahead on memory type, memory speed and memory capacity than the GMKtec NucBox M2 Pro S (16GB + 1TB). The M2 Pro S counters with a full 1TB drive against the M7 Ultra's 512GB, plus a lower price, so anyone who values storage headroom over raw memory and CPU power has a real reason to consider it. The M7 Ultra's eight-core Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U and dual-channel DDR5 make it the more capable machine for multitasking and light creative work, while the M2 Pro S's older 11th Gen Intel chip and DDR4 memory keep it firmly in the everyday-desktop category. Buyers chasing headroom and modern memory should pick the M7 Ultra; buyers who need the biggest drive for the money should lean toward the M2 Pro S.
