GMKtec Mini PC Intel i5-12450H Processor (Turbo 4.4 GHz) 32GB DDR4 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD i226v NIC Mini Computers, USB 3.2, Type-C/WiFi 6, BT5.2, RJ45 2.5G/ 4K Triple Display Desktop PC

I love this little Mini PC. It's nice and compact and doesn't use much for power for my application, which is great considering I use it for my Astrophotography rig and run almost exclusively off of a portable power bank. While it'd be great if the RAM was upgradable, for my use-case 12gb is more than enough and the fact that BOTH the mSATA ssd and wireless can be replaced/upgraded is a huge win in my book. When running PHD2 with a USB guide camera and active wifi, this little PC only draws 14-15 watts which means I can run it, my mount, DSLR camera, and dew heater all night long (the Dew heater alone uses more power!). When not using it for astrophotography, this little machine makes a great netflix/youtube/streaming machine. This also comes with Windows 11 Pro, which means I can use Remote Desktop to connect to the machine natively. Added bonus? This pc came with the cleanest install of Windows I've ever encountered; no bloatware, spyware, or anything suspicious. PC's at this price-point you'd expect to supplement their cost with a lot of sketchy crap-ware, but there was none to be found. Cons: - Comes with an mSATA drive, but can take an nvme. Upgrading is super easy, but you need to make sure to get a 2242-length drive as it won't take the more standard 2230. That said, an mSATA drive is a reasonable expectation for this price-point. - Wireless speeds are fine, but wireless range could be better. Again, reasonable for this price-point.

Well first off every product i have bought from GMK has been excellent. With NUC's there is some tradeoff with ports and this one is the same I would like more usb-c ports but other than that is it a great unit. I run a pretty unique setup with a 49" LG ultra gear curve and a second display is an HDMI fed 15" graphics tablet with built in display. It has no problem driving both HDMI's. The 49" is a 5120X1440 and the 15" is 1920X1080. I use this setup primarily for doing some compiling code and code writing. I run VS and python on it and have found it to be very capable and have not had a single problem the resources running out. The DDR4 is quite fast. The SSD access is very quick. I run this setup at 45 watt and it works great. I do monitor the cores for usage and they balance pretty well. You don't notice the loading, unloading and turbo working at all except the fan speed might go from around 2000 rpm up to 4000 rpm for a second or less. But the fan is super quiet. One of the only issues I have is that the way the Intel integrated graphics cannot be monitored for load or usage from any monitoring software I could find. I am not huge computer gamer, but it ran cyberpunk and starfield quite well on this 49" ultra-wide curved monitor. I found this NUC at a great price point and with plenty of ram and SSD space. This is a great unit especially those looking at an intel setup. I have really been pleased with it and have not found any real issues with it. Setup was quite easy packaging was great.

I bought this mini PC not with performance in mind but more of a convenient way to access my main PC from my bedroom TV via remote access, and for steaming to it media from my network shares, as I prefer using a PC with mouse and keyboard rather than a dedicated streamer that can only be controlled via a remote. Add to that the convenience of watching YouTube videos through the PC browser without the annoying ads along with its small form factor that you can mount behind the TV and to forget that it's there and it's a winner. It comes with soldered 12GB of RAM, along with 512GB of storage (M.2 2242 SATA), which for remote access and steaming videos from a network share is more than enough. It also comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled; for its price you can't go wrong, as you don't need to buy a license separately - you can format the unit and re-install Windows 11 Pro from scratch if you like, which is what I did, and it recognized the license and activated automatically the moment it got internet access. In the box you'd find a US wall plug adapter, with an input of 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 1.5A and output of 12V 3.0A, so you can basically use it in any country and just need to add a wall plug adapter. I personally don't like to use adapters for power, so I ordered from Amazon a compatible power brick that has the same specs and a detachable C5 (Mickey Mouse) cord for replacing with a local one. I posted a review about it too; if you like to learn more, check it in my other reviews. If you're looking for a small form factor mini PC to serve as a TV PC for occasional use in a decent price tag, this is a nice unit to go with. But if you're looking for performance for playing games or for doing other heavy work, I'd look for something with a stronger CPU.

Nice small mini PC! Great for web browsering, office work and lite gaming... I mostly use it for browsing, but it's good for emulation. Fast and smooth with windows 11 and M.2 SSD. Really nice disign. Easy to use. Reasonable price. *my only complaint about it is that it comes with a power brick, which is reasonable since it requires more power for performance. But... It damaged my living room Samsung Smart Tv... I connected it to the same power strip as the TV and after 5 mins of use, the screen started flickering and stop working. Only audio and a few multicolor lines show... Sadly... So please be aware when connecting it and using it.

I purchased this Mini PC to utilize as a server for my home automations and more. The processor and memory are more than enough to handle the Proxmox OS I replaced Windows 11 on it with (though the Windows 11 Pro installation it came with worked very well, it wasn't what I needed for my purposes). Setup was easy,power consumption is minimal, and it's been running cool and quiet ever since I powered it on. The 3 USB ports, 1 Gigabit Network Port, and 2x HDMI ports and the Micro SD reader are perfect for what I need to run, as are the onboard Bluetooth and Wifi. With 12GB of Ram it has plenty of overhead to run several Virtual Machines at once without getting bogged down. It's been online for a couple weeks now with no issues at all. I really wish I had purchased this sooner.

1st of all, I want to thank GMKtec for helping locate and sending me a mounting bracket after I reached out with questions regarding mounting. This little PC is amazing for what it is and purchased it to create an entertainment server/PC to free up my aging laptop. After setting it up and changing some settings in the Bios (tons of tutorials on YouTube) it was running better than my ASUS ROG GL552VW laptop! I use RUST Desktop and Plex for the most part and it handles it very well as an "always on" PC for media in my apartment. I also have Spofity installed and linked to my Bluetooth sound system to have music always ready when I want it! I still can't believe we are able to make PCs this small and have them work amazingly as well as keep cool under load. I will tho recommend like always to research mini PCs and reviews before jumping to buy one to make sure your needs are covered. I even tested running Steam Remote Play/Link from my main gaming PC as well as Moonlight Game Streaming to have streamless gaming streamed to my flatscreen in my bedroom with an Xbox Controller! It is awesome! Overall, I am pleased with this purchase and PC as well as the price I was able to get it for! Thanks, GMKtec for all the help and amazing product! NOTE: The photo is next to a JBL Go 2 to get an idea of size.

After setting up and updating Windows 11, I was able to easily install a Jellyfin server, load up my catalogue of movies and shows, and stream shows to my TV. I also enabled file sharing and remote desktop on the mini PC so I could control it from my primary workstation. Although we have only watched for a few hours, this device, which costs $200, works perfectly as our streaming server. I highly recommend this little N97 as a streaming server for the price point.

Amazing little computer. Fast, no hard drive to slow it down

So far super easy to install! Getting used to what I need to install to make this fit all my needs
