The company has launched the K17 mini PC in China, which is a more modest version of its predecessor called GMK K13. In case you are not familiar, the latter is equipped with Intel Core Ultra 7 256V that is a pretty decent CPU among those designed for Lunar Lake.
As for the new K17 mini PC , it comes with the entry-level processor Intel Core Ultra 5 226V and Arc 130V iGPU that cannot compete with the Radeon 780M based on the results we got in our benchmarks.
That said, you can use eGPUs with NucBox K17 as long as you have USB4 (Aoostar AG02 dock costs $229 right now on Amazon). Although GMK hasn’t revealed the port configuration, it is known that one will be able to connect up to three displays with the help of one USB4 and two HDMI ports. The photos also reveal that there are 5x USB-A ports as well as one Ethernet port.
Back to technical specifications, the mini PC’s Lunar Lake processor is combined with 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM, and the manufacturer doesn’t offer users another memory variant. Moreover, while the largest capacity of pre-configured models is equal to 1 TB, you have two M.2 slots with support for PCIe Gen 5 SSDs.
Design-wise, GMK notes that the mini PC sports a CNC metal finish and a compact form factor. Other highlights include one-click deployment support for OpenClaw and a capable cooling setup. In China, the starting pre-order price is CNY 3,799, about $551, and the company has yet to share when the K17 mini PC will be available in the global market.
