GMKtec has revealed its newest mini PC, the NucBox M8, powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H. This compact machine is built for people who want strong performance, steady reliability, and a clean, modern design. We can start saying that, besides the impressive performance, it fits almost anywhere. It suits creative work, gaming, office use, retail setups, and even classrooms.

NucBox M8 - A Tiny PC With a Bold Look

The NucBox M8 was created by a Red Dot Award-winning team. It uses an all-metal body with a floating C-shaped frame and soft lighting that gives it a futuristic feel. Even with its small size, the build looks premium and solid.

Strong Hardware for Work and Play

Inside, the M8 runs on the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H with 6 cores and 12 threads, reaching up to 4.5GHz. It is paired with a Radeon 660M GPU, which can handle light AAA gaming and creative tasks like photo and video work.

GMKtec uses fast LPDDR5X 6400MHz memory and a PCIe 4.0 SSD that can go up to 1TB, with support for expansion up to 8TB.

You can also switch between three power modes depending on your workload:

Silent Mode (28W) for quiet use

Balanced Mode (35W) for daily tasks

Performance Mode (40W) for full power

Cooler and Quieter Than Expected

To keep everything running at the right temperature, GMKtec added a new cooling system called Arctic Ocean. It uses dual fans, a vapor chamber, and a 3D air intake design to move heat out quickly.

The CPU gets copper heat pipes and smart fan control.

The rest of the system has its own airflow path to keep the SSD and memory cool.

Even with the compact size, the M8 stays quiet during normal use.

Plenty of Ports for Any Setup

The NucBox M8 comes with a strong set of ports to support creators, gamers, and even multi-monitor users that need to enhance productivity.

Front: USB4 (40Gbps, 100W PD, DP1.4), OCuLink, USB A 3.2 Gen 2, 3.5mm audio

Rear: HDMI 2.0, DP1.4, two USB A 3.2 Gen 2 ports, two 2.5G LAN ports

Networking: Dual 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6

It also supports triple 4K displays through HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB4, which is great for work, editing, and streaming.

Made for Many Environments

Thanks to its small size, the NucBox M8 works well in almost any setup. GMKtec says it is 1/40 the size and 1/20 the weight of a typical desktop, making it easy to move around or hide behind a monitor. It's the perfect device for different types of places and different scenarios.
