I have had my new KAMRUI GK3 PLUS for several days now, and I must say it has been a delightful surprise coming from an older version of Windows and an older desktop computer. What a breath of fresh air! It is about the size of a double decker grilled cheese sandwich with double decker performance. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed....not an untamed blur, but very very manageable. I don't do all the performance testing of professionals, just my own tests in comparison of all the computers I have owned over the years. This KAMRUI is the fastest Windows machine I have owned personally. Of course I have not owned the most expensive gaming machines or some of the more expensive video editing computers, but I have always bought and ran low to mid-level consumer computers for home use, and I can say this one outperforms all the others (I personally) have owned. Of course technology moves fast, and the mini is a good example of that. It was very easy to set up, although the updates did take 45 minutes or so, and I did them without any peripherals attached except a keyboard.Since the original updates, it has asked me to update a couple times since, and I did quickly and without a hitch. So far, not a single freeze up, just a clean running computer. I run a lot of YouTube videos, and they are crystal clear, do not freeze, buffer, or distort. I also do desktop publishing and most other office type requirements without any problem at all so far. If the saying "You get what you pay for" is really true, then it is doubly true with this KAMRUI mini computer. For $149-$169 dollars, I just don't see where one could go wrong for the AVERAGE use of a home computer. All peripherals work as they should including stand alone DVD/RW read/write and burn. Works great. Keyboard, mouse, monitor, external hard-drive, and printer are all working flawlessly. I'm impressed by the performance of KAMRUI's package in such a small form. Will it perform as well as an Intel i9.....no, it wasn't meant to. Price one of those.Five stars from this user, because for me, it lives up to the description listed on Amazon. I hope anyone that reads this and buys one, finds the same satisfaction I have. I took a chance on the mini as opposed to going back to a cumbersome tower and all that, and I am a happy camper so far. Longevity? Only time will tell, as with all and anything electronic.

Let me start off by saying that I bought this to play some older games that I love that were not supported on Apple any longer. I was bummed, thinking I had to go buy a gaming laptop or more expensive setup, just to play games from the 2000's and 2010's. I stumbled upon this brand and their various models on here and proceeded to watch some reviews on YouTube.I play Command and Conquer Generals, Zero Hour and even all the mods now. This system is perfect for them and puts out enough power for games on that level. They look great on my monitor and the little unit is extremely fast. Nothing crazy as far as download speed, but for smaller games, it's great. Steam, Xbox, internet browsing are all things I've done and I can zip around with no wait times.I would recommend this to anyone who wants to surf, stream, work or light game wherever they want in their house. Legit setup on a monitor or sitting on the couch on a TV, this is a fantastic buy.

Nice compact, but powerful computer. It is pretty much ready to use, as it comes out of the box. You will only need to finish the Windows install process, which consists of a few questions to customize your installation to your keyboard, time zone, location, and end user login. If you DON'T want to have a password to enter each time you turn it on, you can leave the password item blank, after you have entered your username. You can always change to a having password later, but I don't think you can remove the password requirement if you fill it in at this time. This unit is quiet and small enough to tuck away, even behind your monitor via the included VESA mounting bracket. Wherever you place it remember that like all computers it will get warm, so be sure it has air space around it for the fan to circulate cooling air.It has Windows 11 pre-installed, which will work fine for 99% of the users. I wanted to use it for a media server in my RV, so I wanted to install Linux, which has more flexibility and is faster booting. On my first attempts, I entered the BIOS settings and changed the "Display Delay" setting. Unfortunately, it caused the display to not work, on either HDMI or VGA. I contacted customer service, and Kin, the rep., nicely replaced the unit under warranty. I did find out later that it would have been possible to clear the BIOS back to defaults, but with no display, that would have required opening the case and removing the motherboard, as the CMOS battery is underneath the MB. I can see why they would not trust the typical user with doing this.The pictures above show the Linux Mint 21.1 64 Bit install. I did it as a dual boot, just so that I would be able to access Win 11 if I wanted to. To do this, you need to have some experience with loading OS's on a computer, and working with BIOS settings. DO NOT attempt it if you have not done this before!To load Linux, you will need a bootable version on a USB drive. Plug in the thumbdrive, start the computer, then press the DEL key repeatedly. It should go into the BIOS settings. Leave all of the settings alone, except the following. Go to the SECURITY tab and select SECURE BOOT. Press enter and then go down until you reach SECURE BOOT. Press enter, and select DISABLE. go back up and go to the BOOT menu. The computer will see the thumbdrive and so you can select it as the 1st BOOT OPTION. Note, a thumbdrive must be present for the option to boot from USB to appear. It will not say USB, but will name the manufacturer of the drive that is plugged in. Do an F4 to save and close. Restart the computer and it should boot from the Linux on the USB. Follow the process as it boots. It will eventually have a working, but uninstalled version for you to try. At this point you can shutdown without making any changes to your computer if you don't want to install it. There will be the option to install showing on the desktop. Click on install and follow the prompts. At some point you will have the option to dual boot, which retains your Windows install, or to clear the drive and install Linux. If you opted for dual boot, it will partition the internal SSD to 2 parts splitting the space between Windows and Linux. Once this is done and the install is finished, it will reboot, and the option of Windows 11 or Linux will be shown during boot. Use the arrow keys to select which one, and press enter.
