How is this larkbox vs gmk nucbox?

Technically seems like gmk is better. 6gb vs 8gb. MMC vs SSD. Any comments? Thanks!

larkbox was first to market so i bought it first. it has both mmc and ssd so you have double storage. if price is the same go for gmk.

Larkpro was 208 and gmk was 222 during 6.6 Lazada sales but i didn't get any...

U have a point about the double storage, but does mean larkbox has a advantage over gmk?

Thanks!

$208 is a good price. j4105 pc normally cost $250. anyway i sold away my larkbox and got this instead. having 4 usb ports and 2.5" sata + 2280 m2 storage + gigabit + upgradable wifi is better

The Larkbox was something I was considering to use as a very low power system for work. However after considering the below points, I decided not to go for it,
1. Only 1 HDMI port
2. Hard to upgrade SSD, i.e. 2242 and I think its limited to SATA3 only
3. Limited USB ports

I like the size, but the above points are deal breakers for me. It is a good form factor for those who don't need a powerful system for light casual usage.

the novelty dies quite fast. and if you attach dongles or portable hdd it is not that much different from nuc formfactor

The attractive thing about the Larkbox is the size, follow by the price. But there are too many limitations for me to consider it. And for me, I wasn't intending to move it around, so the small size doesn't matter to me.
