  "account": "The GMKtec Evo-X3 is a new AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered mini PC, a significant upgrade from the Evo-X2 model. The most noticeable change is its sleek new metal chassis, which is over 14 inches tall and made almost entirely from metal, with the exception of a soft-touch green plastic cap. The device has been revamped with no plastic inside the case and only a textured and vented soft-touch green plastic cap on the front. It weighs over 2.7 liters and has a flat base that is 4 inches wide, providing good stability on a desk.\n\nThe Evo-X3 comes with 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 RAM and a dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD slot, offering storage options of 2TB or 4TB. It features a front panel with three ports: two USB‑A 3.2 Gen 1, a USB4 Type-C (PD 3.0 / DP-alt), one HDMI 2.1, and a DC‑IN barrel jack. The backside has an impressive array of ports, including a USB‑A 3.2 Gen 2, a USB4 Type-C, an HDMI 2.1, an OCuLink PCIe Gen 4 x4 port, an RJ-45 2.5G LAN port, and a DC‑IN barrel jack. Wireless connectivity is provided through Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, with an M.2 2230 card supporting these features. The memory is soldered to the motherboard, so no internal upgrades are possible. The price for the 128GB/2TB configuration is $3,799.99.",
  "summary": "GMKtec has radically remodeled its AMD Strix Halo flagship AI mini PC. The statuesque redesign looks more premium and stays cool and quiet, but the Evo-X3 is around twice the price of the Evo-X2, with the same chip, which we reviewed back in February.",
