This is a great little machine. I hardly use my big expensive gaming PC anymore. I have played Starfield, Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Cyberpunk on it, no issues at all. Granted I only have a FHD monitor, so 1080p is my limit. Oblivion Remastered give me a warning about not having enough video memory, but it runs perfectly fine.

No Audio, Secure Boot disabled, About 20 Microsoft 365 related applications under Control Panel>Programs and Features, each one for a different language, they take forever to uninstall and pop up in the language of the installation so if u can't read Arabic for example, you have to guess which is the uninstall or cancel button. These machines are clearly preloaded with a modified version of Windows. Highly reccomend people avoid this product and this brand at all costs, I returned mine, reported it as defective since the sound doesn't work.

Awesome mini pc. Sleek diplay design with the glass and rgb lights. Super fast response time. Has 3gb of dedicated video memory with the 780m gpu. Cant wait to see what they build next! fYI this price has been marked up, oct 2024 it was 649$ so they marked it up to make u think ur getting a sale. advertise is bogus . pc is great. but its not on sale. its a 650$ pc not a 850 $pc fooled me. it comes with adata ssd , trying to figure what type of ssd is in here.

This is my first multi-gig ethernet equipped tech item (not counting WiFi 6 stuff) and it greeted me with some surprising failures.I posted my initial impressions, and updated impressions, but let's boil it down to soup and nuts. The 2.5Gb Intel ethernet controller and Windows 11 driver does NOT play nice with TrendNet greennet enabled gigabit switches. I had to replace my old reliable and fast enough for literally everything else on my desk TEG-S80G and get a switch with 2.5Gb ports, which my first one was a steaming pile of fertilizer. NOT GMKtecs fault.When we went from 10 Mbit, to 100, then 100Mbit to 1Gb backwards compatibility was well tested particularly with Intel hardware. This is simply not the case with this new multi gig generation of hardware. Thus the reason I have given this 3 stars and not more. This is NOT a reflection on GMKtec beyond the fact they chose this chip to use for the wired 2.5Gb interface. I am pretty sure they wanted to go premium in their component selection, but I almost wonder if they would have been better suited using the RealTek chipset instead.My other issues were 100% related to the power profiles in the default load of WIndows 11. Basically USB and Bluetooth were allowed to be turned off during non usage. NOT GOOD for a system that uses USB keyboard and mouse! Probably no big deal under most applications, but in mine since I am going through a KVM, there are delays to the USB signal and I figure this is causing problems.The hardware is spot on, REALLY fast with the Ryzen 9 and Radeon graphics. Maybe not super gaming fast, but video editing fast... I have it set up with CyberLink PowerDirector 2025 and processing 4K videos using the AI editing features is smooth and wickedly fast.There is allegedly a VESA mount, not sure how I could use it though, The overall package is definately MUCH larger than a Raspberry Pi, approximately the size of 3 Pi5s in cases, but no comparison in performance either. This thing finishes jobs before the Pi finishes boothing..So summary. ALL of the problems I have had with this and everything I have had to work out has been related to power saving / energy efficiency settings and technogies that are not adjustable (The Greennet switches are unmanaged). So not entirely a hardware problem, and yes energy efficiency is a GOOD thing, but not at the cost of functionality, and reliability. So 1 star knocked down.Once the weirdness is solved it IS wicked fast, although all of the gaming I am doing on it is old DOS games via GOG and Steam, but no issues there...Is IS a fantastic little platform for creatives with more than enough grunt to do the heavy lifting processing large 4K videos and audio.Overall very impressed.

Setup of pre installed windows went well. PC runs win 11 really well, and is very quiet. It takes up very little space on the desk and looks good. Only used for office apps so no gaming advice but happy with the purchase so far.

This mini PC is very impressive. It's very quiet, and it boots up very quickly. it plays 4k@60hz YouTube videos with ease. It has all the latest connections. For what it does and all the connections, its worth the price.

Works very well except for DisplayPort video which blinks constantly for the 2 units I bought on 2 different monitors with 2 different cables. Otherwise, perfect low cost, small form, well built unit.

Great things come small packages. I am very happy with my purchase. Nice job GMKtec.
