GMKTec NucBox K11: 30-second review
For a mini PC, there’s plenty on offer here, and I really like the fact you have the option to upgrade the RAM to a huge 96GB. This makes it an ideal solution if you’re looking for a machine capable of handling 4K video editing. There’s also the fact that it features dual M.2 slots for internal storage, and while the 1TB SSD in my review sample is rather small, you can boost this to an impressive 8TB using two 4TB sticks.
But what really interests me—both for video, image editing, 3D graphics and gaming—is the fact that it offers an OCULINK option, enabling you to connect an external GPU such as the GP1.
Even without the graphics boost, you still have the option to plug in up to four 4K displays, along with plenty of connection options and network connectivity through both dual LAN and high-performance Wi-Fi. This makes it an ideal option for any small business user despite the colourful LED array to lure in gamers.
While there’s a lot to like about the power of this small machine, as we’re starting to see with some of the other best mini PCs we've tested featuring the latest AMD AI-enhanced CPUs, the cooling systems here have had to be heavily overhauled. As such, the new high-powered fans do create some noise when the system is pushed.
