- GMK G3 Pro uses seven-year-old dual-core Comet Lake i3 processor
- Intel UHD 620 graphics can’t match the performance levels of modern integrated GPUs
- Memory options are flexible, supporting up to 64 GB across two SO-DIMM slots
GMKtec has launched the G3 Pro, an entry-level mini PC powered by the Intel Core i3-10110U, a dual-core, four-thread Comet Lake series processor.
This processor is more than six years old, but it still offers basic processing power for light tasks like web browsing, document editing, and media playback.
The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 lags behind modern iGPUs in performance, but can still handle standard video playback and everyday graphics workloads.
Memory and storage options
Despite its older processor, the G3 Pro supports up to 64GB of DDR4 memory across two SO-DIMM slots.
Storage options are also generous, with two M.2 slots each accommodating up to 4TB of SSD, allowing for a total capacity of 8TB, and users can also choose pre-configured options with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD or 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, providing flexibility for different usage scenarios.
The G3 Pro includes a decent selection of ports, including four USB 3.2 Type-A ports, two HDMI ports, a 2.5G Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm audio jack, and also supports Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6, enabling reliable wireless connections.
The device measures 114 x 106 x 42.5mm, maintaining a compact profile suitable for tight desktop spaces or portable setups.
The G3 Pro looks like a device designed for casual computing without requiring high-end hardware, with its design and specifications geared toward users who want a compact device with ample memory and storage while keeping costs down.
If you need a mini PC for serious tasks like video editing, gaming, or using a professional workstation, you should avoid this model.
Despite its limitations, the G3 Pro costs around $130 for the barebones configuration in China, with upgrades driving up the price, and it seems overpriced compared to competing models that offer better out-of-the-box hardware closer to $150.
For example, the GMKtec G3 Plus with an Intel N150 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD sells for around $126 on sale and includes usable memory and storage without requiring additional purchases.
Likewise, the Kamrui GK3 Plus with an Intel N95, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD drops to around $132 with coupons and offers double the RAM and plenty of SSD capacity for casual tasks.
This makes the G3 Pro less appealing to hobbyists and casual users who want the flexibility of a mini PC.
