The MinisForum GK41 is a budget mini PC from MinisForum, the team behind various mini PC’s such as the DMAF5, X400 and the UM700.
The GK41 is powered by an Intel Celeron J4125, running at a modest 2.0.GHz at base clock, supported by 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM, bought to life by the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600. Providing a power-efficient alternative to your average mini PC while sacrificing little in the way of performance.
For storage, the GK41 contains a respectable M.2 2280 SATA SSD, and this can be expanded further via the 2.5-inch SATA drive and a microSD card slot (up to 128GB).
In terms of ports, the GK41 supports dual 4K screens via the HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort interfaces for increased productivity. There are also four USB 3.0 ports – all located on the front of the device for easier peripheral management – as well as dedicated microphone and headphone jacks on the side. Not to mention a built-in digital microphone as well, making a good mini PC for video calls.
The GK41 has twin gigabit ethernet on the rear allowing for flexibility with wired network setups, as well as built-in dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 for equal flexibility with wireless setups too.
All of this at a very small size of approximately 125x113x30mm, and a weight of around 1/4th of a kg, the MinisForum GK41 is an Intel NUC that will fit comfortably on any desk or shelf.
