GMKtec NucBox K6 (Ryzen 7 7840HS)
The NucBox K6 is a 128.8 x 127 x 47.8 mm mini PC with AMD's Ryzen 7 7840HS: 8 Zen 4 cores, Radeon 780M graphics and a 65 W TDP. It takes two DDR5-5600 SO-DIMMs (up to 64 GB) and two PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs. Unusually for a gaming-class mini, it has two 2.5 GbE ports, so it can work as a Proxmox host with separate management and VM networks, or as a fast router. There is one USB4 port, but GMKtec rates it at 20 Gbps rather than the full 40 Gbps, which matters if you plan to use an external GPU or fast storage enclosure. The 780M handles 1080p gaming at modest settings and hardware video decoding. Power comes from a 120 W 19 V brick.

Check before you buy
- The USB4 port is rated 20 Gbps by GMKtec, not 40 Gbps; don't count on full-speed eGPU or Thunderbolt enclosure performance.
- Only NVMe drives work in the M.2 slots; SATA M.2 SSDs are not supported.
- Make sure the 120 W (19 V / 6.32 A) adapter comes with it; a lower-wattage brick may not power the 7840HS under load.
- GMKtec sold barebone units, so confirm what RAM and SSD are installed.
General off-lease checks (BIOS passwords, Computrace, missing drive caddies) are in the used mini PC buying checklist.
