The GMKtec K13 AI is a mini PC with enough power to tackle considerably more than everyday office duties. Its Core Ultra 7 256V processor and Intel Arc 140V graphics allow it to easily handle video editing and other creative work.

Dual USB4 ports are especially useful for a video-editing setup, providing up to 40 Gbps connectivity for fast external SSDs. There's also 5 Gb E networking for moving large video files swiftly to and from NAS storage.

The K13 AI uses Intel's Core Ultra 7 256V, which boosts to 4.8GHz and combines CPU, GPU and NPU processing for up to 115 TOPS of total AI performance. This configuration comes with 16GB LPDDR5X memory and a 1TB SSD.

There's a surprisingly strong selection of workstation features packed into the K13's tiny case. Dual 40 Gbps USB4, 5 Gb E networking and support for three 4K displays give you plenty of options for building a serious editing setup around it.

In his 4-star review, our expert Mark called it, "a thoughtfully engineered slice of modern computing" and noted that while "It lacks memory upgrades or an OCu Link port, it’s a powerful little system, especially for local AI."

He also said, "The GMKtec Nuc Box K13 is, in the bluntest possible terms, the mini PC that Intel's Lunar Lake deserved from the outset. GMKtec has done due diligence by pairing the chip with the fastest possible memory configuration, designing a chassis that leverages Lunar Lake's efficiency, and adding 5 Gb E connectivity."

You want a compact PC for video editing, content creation and other demanding productivity tasks without sacrificing most of your desk to a large tower. Intel's Arc 140V graphics also support hardware AV1 encoding, which adds to its appeal for video work.

Dual USB4 lets you hook up fast external storage, displays and other high-bandwidth peripherals, and the 5 Gb E connection will be particularly useful if your footage is stored on a NAS.

You only need a little computer for web browsing, streaming and everyday office work. There are much cheaper mini PCs capable of handling those jobs, and you'd be paying for performance and connectivity you may never use.

The 16GB of LPDDR5X memory is also something to consider if you're buying with particularly memory-heavy workloads in mind. Unlike storage, you don't have the ability to expand it later.

The 115 TOPS figure needs some context. That's a combined figure across the processor's different AI engines rather than 115 TOPS from its NPU alone; the NPU itself is rated at 47 TOPS. Don't compare the headline 115 TOPS directly with NPU figures quoted for other systems.

Also remember that despite its impressive Arc integrated graphics, this remains a mini PC without a discrete GPU. It's substantially more capable graphically than basic integrated systems, but a dedicated gaming or workstation GPU remains the better option for consistently demanding graphics tasks.

The GMKtec G10 combines a 4-core, 8-thread Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega 8 graphics, 16GB dual-channel DDR4 and a 256GB SSD. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.5 Gb E Ethernet.
