With the launch of Apple’s augmented reality glasses, the Vision Pro, many users have regained their interest in this technology, a technology that still has a long way to go, even if Apple has made a excellent work which, obviously, has to be paid quite a high price, since the cheapest model starts at $3,499 and is currently only available in the United States.
The mini PC manufacturer GMKtec has just presented a new model, called K8, and as a launch promotion it allows users to enjoy augmented reality glasses with this new model for a little more, a fairly interesting promotion considering the features that this new model of mini PC offers us.
GMKtec K8 Mini PC
GMKtec’s new range of mini PCs is the first to integrate the Ryzen 8000 range, more precisely the Ryzen 7 8845HS model that includes the Radeon 780M graphics card and replaces the most powerful model that this manufacturer had so far on the market, the K6, a model managed by the Ryzen 7 7780HS APU.
If we pay attention to the specifications of the 8845HS APU, we see how it shares the same specific ations as the 7840HS (with 8 Zen 4 cores and 12 RDNA 3 threads), with the only exception that the 8000 series model includes an NPU
The performance in the graphics section, according to the manufacturer, is very similar to that which can be found in the NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti thanks to a maximum TPD of up to 65W. If we talk about connectivity options, a section that we cannot forget, we are talking about two RJ-45 2.5G connectors, a Display Port, an HDMI port and a USB-C 4.0 port with support data transmission up to 40 Gbps.
But what is most striking in this new model compared to the previous one is the price. Currently, the GMKtec K6 has a price of $579 at the exchange rate of the base version with memory and storage unit. The starting price of the new GMKtec K8 with the 8845HS processor is 350 dollars without memory or storage unit when it is launched on the market, launch planned in the coming weeks,
And, as if that were not enough, to take advantage of the launch, this manufacturer makes available to all customers interested in this model, different launch promotions with which, by paying a little more, you can obtain a discount on the purchase, 32 GB of memory and 1 TB of storage, augmented reality glasses or both promotions for less than $300 more.
Concerning Features About these augmented reality glasses, the only thing we know is that they offer us a viewing angle of up to 172 inches. We will have to wait a few days to learn more about these augmented reality glasses, but, according to the images, they have a design very similar to those offered by Facebook in collaboration with Ray-Ban.
