## What reviewers say

**GMKtec NucBox K8** — Only one whitelisted tester, TechRadar, hands-on reviewed the exact base NucBox K8 (Ryzen 7 8845HS). TechRadar calls it the fastest AMD-powered NUC it had tested, praising CPU power, dual M.2 Gen4 slots and dual 2.5GbE LAN at a competitive price, while flagging the all-plastic silver build, awkward internal access and lack of Thunderbolt with only one of the CPU's two USB 4.0 ports exposed.
