GMKtec has started selling its budget-friendly NucBox G3 Pro mini PC worldwide, and it’s launching with limited-time promotional pricing that makes it especially appealing for anyone who wants a compact desktop or a low-power home server. The entry version is currently listed at $169.99, and buyers can drop that to $149.99 by using the coupon code G3PV20.
For shoppers who want a ready-to-run setup instead of a barebones kit, there are two preconfigured options as well. The model with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD is priced at $239.99, while the higher configuration with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD comes in at $299.99. The same G3PV20 coupon can reduce each of these prices by $20, helping the G3 Pro compete strongly in the affordable mini PC category.
Inside, the GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro runs on an Intel Core i3-10110U, a power-efficient dual-core processor from Intel’s Comet Lake family designed for light daily computing and always-on tasks. Despite its low-power nature, the mini PC is built to be flexible: it includes two SO-DIMM memory slots that support up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM, which is useful for multitasking, virtualization experiments, and home lab builds.
Storage expandability is another big selling point. GMKtec includes two M.2 slots, and the company says the system can support up to 9TB of total storage. That combination of multiple drive slots and a 15W operating profile is why GMKtec positions the G3 Pro as a practical option for NAS and home server use, especially for users who want a quiet, space-saving machine that can run 24/7 without drawing much power.
Connectivity also leans into that NAS-friendly approach. A standout feature is the 2.5G LAN port, powered by an Intel i226 controller, which can provide faster wired networking than standard gigabit Ethernet—handy for moving large files around your home network or backing up multiple devices. Alongside that Ethernet connection, the mini PC includes four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, two HDMI ports for dual-display setups, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Wireless options are covered too, with Bluetooth 5.2 and dual-band WiFi 6, giving it plenty of flexibility whether it’s being used at a desk, behind a TV, or tucked away as a small server.
The NucBox G3 Pro keeps a compact footprint and includes VESA mount support, making it easy to attach to the back of a monitor or mount in a tidy workstation setup. With global availability, aggressive launch pricing, and strong expansion options for the money, it’s positioned as an attractive mini PC for budget buyers, home office users, and anyone planning a small NAS or compact home lab build.
