The 128GB and 2TB model has the same core platform configuration as AMD’s Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform . AMD’s system also uses the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Radeon 8060S graphics, 128GB LPDDR5X-8000 memory and a 2TB SSD. Micro Center shows the Windows 11 Pro version at $4000, so GMKtec’s model is $400 cheaper in the same memory and storage class.

There are some platform differences. AMD’s Ryzen AI Halo system includes 10GbE LAN, while GMKtec lists 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. GMKtec also adds an OCuLink PCIe 4.0 x4 port, which can be used for external GPU expansion.
