GMKtec K13 + Clawdbot: Building a Silent, Always-On AI Desktop
Be the first to successfully run Clawdbot.
What we’re inviting you to do right now is not just deploying an AI tool—it’s a deep exploration of the true potential of your desktop computing power.In your hands, the GMKtec K13 is more than a compact PC. It is an ultra-integrated computing hub, purpose-built for pioneers like you who want to move faster, quieter, and smarter into AI-driven workflows.
Why K13? A Computer That Refuses to “Over-Compete” — and Finds a New Blue Ocean
While many machines obsess over gaming frame rates and benchmark scores, the K13 takes a more intelligent path. Instead of chasing extreme peak performance, it focuses on solving a more universal challenge:
How do you balance efficient creation, intelligent office work, and a quiet, elegant desktop environment—without compromise?

The true next-generation desktop is not just powerful—it understands context.
K13 is precisely positioned in a wide-open blue ocean: professional lightweight creation + intelligent integrated office computing.
It is designed to deliver dense, deployable, quiet, and reliable computing power for:
● AI applications and inference
● Content creation
● Multitasking workflows
● Enterprise intelligent scenarios

Designed to Understand Your Working Rhythm
What makes the K13 special is its ability to adapt to you, not the other way around:
● Three Performance Modes, Fully Under Your Control
When deploying Clawdbot, you can freely switch between:
● Silent Mode – for deep focus without distraction
● Balanced Mode – optimal efficiency with controlled power consumption
● Performance Mode – full computing power for faster results
You decide when to hold back—and when to go all in.
● Quiet Is a Form of Professional Reliability
Even during AI inference workloads, the K13’s innovative through-board cooling system keeps noise to a whisper.
It belongs on your desk, in a meeting room, or at home—running stably without demanding attention.
● Vision Enables Productivity
With dual full-speed USB4 ports, you can easily connect up to three 4K displays.
Code on the left, models running in the center, documentation on the right—true multi-threaded work, finally visible at a glance.

Why Now? The Right Time for Deployment
Launching the K13 in February 2026, during the enterprise IT refresh season, is a deliberate choice.
We want to set a clear benchmark:
At this price segment, you no longer need to choose between performance, size, silence, and professional capabilities.
The GMKtec K13 is redefining what a “professional standard” desktop should be.
It’s not just a tool—it’s your efficient entry ticket into AI-powered workflows.
