GMKTec EVO-X2 Mini PC Launches in Europe with Unexpected Lower Price
Normally, when cool new devices launch in China and ultimately land on the world market, we expect the price to go up. It's just the way of things, right? But every so often, we get a nice surprise. And today, said surprise comes in the shape of the GMKTec EVO-X2, a seriously potent mini PC powered by the behemoth AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor.
A Bargain Across the Pond?
And here's the kicker: the GMKTec EVO-X2 is actually going on sale in Europe at a lower price point than its original launch price in China! If you're based in Europe and want to be among the first to get your hands on one during the pre-order period, you can have the 64GB RAM and 1TB SSD version for €1499. For those who require a bit more brawn, the 128GB RAM and 2TB storage version will set you back €1799.
What makes this particularly significant is that the €1799 price of the higher-spec model is the *same* price the *lower-spec* 64GB + 1TB model was sold at when it initially came out for sale in China! That's a huge disparity for early adopters in Europe.
Packed with Power and Ports
So, what hardware do you receive inside this small box? Despite the surprise price cut, the specs for the international version are not being altered. You have integrated Radeon 8060S graphics powering the graphics. Connectivity is also copious with a set of modern ports:
- USB 4.0
- USB 3.2 Gen2
- USB 2.0
- HDMI 2.1
- DisplayPort 1.4
- Ethernet (high-speed 2.5 Gbps)
- An SD card reader slot
- A couple of 3.5mm audio jacks
Who is This Mini PC For?
GMKTec is promoting the EVO-X2 as a fantastic small option for professionals and hobbyists that need hardcore power in a package smaller than a traditional desktop. It's highlighted as being particularly ideal for those heavy-duty tasks like working with graphics-heavy applications and running diverse artificial intelligence workloads.
If you're an individual who's been holding out for a potent mini PC, the European pre-order cost of the GMKTec EVO-X2 makes it a surprisingly attractive option currently.
