The GMKtec G10 Ryzen 5 3500U Mini PC Computer is a small desktop that fits on a shelf or mounts behind a monitor. An AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with four cores and eight threads does the work, with 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 and a 256GB PCIe SSD alongside it. Radeon Vega 8 graphics can drive three 4K displays at the same time. A 2.5GbE Ethernet port sits on the back beside HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort, and full-function USB-C. Both the memory and the storage are user-upgradeable.
Head over to Amazon to get the GMKtec G10 Ryzen 5 3500U Mini PC Computer for just $290, down from its usual price of $380. That’s a $90 discount, 24% off.
A small yet mighty PC that can handle all the work your full-size desktop can
This mini PC handles nearly everything a full desktop does. You can place the unit under your monitor, behind your television, or attach it to a VESA mount and never have to look at it again. It will take web surfing, office applications, email, video conferencing, and a browser with approximately thirty tabs open without complaining. Light gaming and 4K video playback are possible too, using the Vega 8 graphics integrated into the system.
The AMD Ryzen 5 3500U processor contains 4 cores and 8 threads. The base clock speed is 2.1 GHz and the max boost clock speed is 3.7 GHz. The default thermal design power of this processor is 15W, though you can configure it anywhere from 12W to 35W depending on how the unit is being used. For example, if you’re placing it in a small enclosure, you may want to lower the TDP to reduce both heat output and fan noise.
GMKtec ships this configuration with 16GB of DDR4 in two 8GB SO-DIMM sticks, which means dual-channel memory rather than one stick doing all the work. You can take it to 64GB later. Two M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 slots sit inside, one holding the 256GB SSD and one empty, and together they support up to 16TB. Getting to either one means opening the case, which is not difficult.
Three 4K displays can be connected at the same time using either HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4, as well as the USB-C port, which is fully functional. That USB-C port can also transfer data and provide power delivery. There are two USB 3.2 ports for connecting peripheral devices and one standard USB 2.0 port. Another feature of the computer is its 3.5mm audio jack located on the front of the machine. A high-speed 2.5GbE Ethernet port provides fast connectivity to networks, and it is two and a half times faster than the gigabit jack found in many entry-level desktop computers. This computer features WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connectivity.
At $290, down from $380, this is 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and triple 4K output in a box small enough to disappear behind a monitor. If you want a second machine for a home office, a media PC under the TV, or a low-power box for Proxmox and home server work, the G10 does that. GMKtec includes a one-year warranty.
