Access and use
For running an agent such as OpenClaw around the clock, with models from cloud services or small local ones. It has an Intel Core Ultra 7 256V with 8 cores and 8 threads, up to 4.8 GHz; Intel lists 17 W processor base power and 37 W maximum turbo power. Memory is 16 GB of on-package LPDDR5X at up to 8533 MT/s and cannot be upgraded. The spec table lists one 5 Gb Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and two USB4 ports at 40 Gb/s (a feature panel on the same page says dual 2.5G LAN, so confirm before buying). It runs from a 20 V, 5 A (100 W) adapter. It ships with Windows 11 Pro; GMKtec's OpenClaw article says it is compatible with Linux and Windows 11 Pro, calls it a host for a 24/7 AI employee and says it stays cool and silent under 24/7 heavy loads. That article's setup guide starts by disabling the Windows firewall and installs Node.js and OpenClaw by piping remote scripts to bash: keep the firewall on and read any script before running it. GMKtec's US store listed it from US$589.99 (16 GB, 512 GB) on 7 November 2026. GMKtec markets its AI mini PCs as stable for 24/7 workloads, but its warranty excludes commercial use: the K13 page lists a one-year limited warranty, and GMKtec's warranty page says orders from 1 October 2026 get one year on the whole unit plus two years' replacement cover for RAM, SSD and power adapter.
Who it is for
People who want a quiet, low-power box that runs agents around the clock while the models come from cloud APIs.

What a source check covers
Documentation checked means the source was read. It does not mean the software was installed, tested or security audited.
