GMKtec has recently introduced its first Strix Halo mini PC, known as the EVO-X2, in China and now has plans for a worldwide release. The system, powered by the Ryzen AI Max+ 395, is set to begin its international pre-sale on April 15, 2025. However, details about the global pricing remain undisclosed.
Pricing Details
In China, the EVO-X2 is priced at CNY 14,999, which is approximately $2,053 at the current exchange rate. This positions GMKtec’s new release as one of the pricier mini PCs available, especially considering that this price is for the model equipped with 128 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 2 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage (the 2 TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus is currently listed at $139.99 on Amazon).
Additional Configurations
For the upcoming global launch, GMKtec has suggested that there may be another configuration option. The company is conducting a survey that hints at a second model featuring 64 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. While the price for this alternative configuration is uncertain, some estimates can be made based on the previous EVO-X1 options.
The GMK EVO-X1 was initially priced at $1,299.99 for the version with 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. The variant that had 64 GB of RAM and the same storage capacity was launched at $1,699.99. This leads to the possibility that the second configuration of the Strix Halo EVO-X2 might be around $400 less expensive.
Market Expectations
However, considering that the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395-powered EVO-X2 was launched at a high price in China, it is unlikely that it will be priced below $1,500 in the international market. For more information on this new Strix Halo mini PC, you can refer to our coverage of its launch in China.
