We expect mini PCs to be small but GMKtec’s NUCbox G5 is absolutely tiny. At just 44x72x72mm (HxWxD), it’s less than half the size of our current favourite mini PC, the Geekom A8 (£899 from www.snipca.com/51157, reviewed in Issue 689). At £210, it’s also less than a quarter of the price.
A tiny PC for Windows at a very low price, but don’t expect miracles
It may be cheap, but its plastic case feels remarkably well constructed, with no obvious weak points. It’s light, too, weighing just 170g, so you could easily stick it on the back of a monitor if you want to hide it away. It’s compatible with a VESA mount, so you could use one of those to screw it in place, although it’s so lightweight you could simply use a double-sided sticker to attach it.
