GMKtec NucBox M4 Mini PC Features
When it comes to the design of the NucBox M4, we can say that we have already seen this flat metal case (measures 187 x 181 x 37mm) in the NucBox 12 Mini PC. This model is currently not available on the manufacturer’s website. However, as you can see, the housing received a second one with a new configuration. The heart of the M4 Mini PC is the Intel Core i9-11900H Tiger Lake processor.
The Intel Core i9-11900H unveiled mid-2021, is a powerful octa-core SoC designed for gaming laptops and mobile workstations. It’s part of the Tiger Lake H45 family and boasts eight Willow Cove processor cores (16 threads with HyperThreading). Operating at a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz (depending on the TDP setting, typically 45 Watts), it can achieve a single-core boost speed of up to 4.9 GHz, while all cores can reach speeds of up to 4.5 GHz. Additionally, the CPU offers 24 MB of level 3 cache and supports DDR4-3200 memory.
Besides, the Mini PC also has Intel UHD Graphics for 11th Gen Intel Processors up to 1.45GHz. The device comes with 16GB – 32GB RAM DDR4 3200, expandable up to 128GB (dual channel) and supports PCIe X4 NVMe M.2 2280 slot up to 2TB (512GB or 1TB SSD mounted), and 2.5-inch SATA (7-9mm) for HDD / SSD. NucBox M4 comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro, but should also support Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
In addition, GMKtec NucBox M4 Mini PC supports 2T2R WiFi 6 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.2, and 2x 2.5G Giga Lan. Besides, it supports triple screens up to 4K@60Hz via HDMI, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB TypeC port. The Mini PC has the following ports:
- 6x USB3.2
- USB Type-C (DP/Data)
- 2x RJ45 (2.5G Gbps)
- HDMI
- 3.5mm Audio jack
- DisplayPort 1.4
- DC jack 19V/6.32A
- Kensington lock
It is also worth adding that a large number of ventilation holes in the housing combined with an active cooling system should ensure the stable and efficient operation of the device.
According to GMK, the M4 is a Mini PC for work and entertainment. If you want such a mini-computer, check out the product page.
