I recently took delivery of the GMKtec K10 with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD, and I have to say, it's seriously impressive. This is actually my second mini PC from GMKtec, the first was the Nucbox m3 plus and at this point, I wouldn’t consider buying from anyone else. The k10 outperforms the m3 and I would say is worth the extra cost if you use you computer for tasks requiring substantial power such a gaming etc. The packaging was solid and secure — you could tell they put care into it — and the unboxing is of premium quality. Performance-wise, it’s fast, quiet, and handles everything I throw at it — from office work and multitasking, heavy editing which includes media playback and uploading is done in a snap. Boot times are almost instant, apps open quickly, and it doesn’t even get warm under pressure. It’s compact but powerful, easy to set up, and the range of ports is great for dual monitors and peripherals when trading and or editing too. Honestly, for the price, I don’t think there’s a better option out there right now and I will be recommending GMKtec and these machines to others.

I've had my NUCBOX K10 a week, so it's early days - it's the cheapest in the range with 512 GB memory and 16 GB RAM, but enough for my use. Bought at a good price on an Amazon timed deal prior to Black Friday. I was attracted by the 8 USB ports, seperate "industrial" COM port which I may later use, and the metal case. Also the external WiFi antennae were a stand out - not that I use them just now as I couple to the Internet via CAT5. I'm a radio amateur and not a gamer - which means I need all the 8 USB Ports and more via a hub to connect to communications equipment - these are two transceivers for short wave comms and VHF, a Morse Code electronic keyer, a software defined receiver, two antenna rotator controllers and then the usual stuff like a wireless keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner and SSD for backups that most readers of this review will use. I have two 24" iiyama monitors connected via HDMI - I may go to three later. I run Office 2024 applications and use the usual browsers and utilise over 40 programs for amateur radio and general office/admin type use in my home. To say I am impressed with this small unit is an understatement. It sits on my desktop in complete silence in use. I have never yet heard the fan operating and there is no heat apparent on the outside of the case for the use it gets. It boots up quickly, runs all my programs simultaneously on Windows 11. It is an absoloute delight. Previously I have used HP ex-corporate desktop computers with SSDs installed which were available cheaply. These are fast PCs and lasted for years. However, despite running Windows 11 the ageing processors were more than 10 years old and Microsoft have been unable to provide security updates for several months - so I bought this Nucbox K10 and I am delighted with it. My only criticism is the pre-installation by GMKtec of around 13 different language programs for Windows 365 and Windows One Note. As a licenced user of Microsoft Office 2024 I have no use for these programs. It took me over an hour to remove the files before configuring the PC with my own software and settings. Just a minor point I thought I would mention. If you buy one I wish you well - I'm very satisfied with what I got for my money.

I work in IT and currently own around 17 PCs, but I’ve recently grown to really appreciate modern mini-PCs. They’ve become surprisingly powerful and efficient. I’m using this one as a Kubernetes node in my home lab, and it’s also running several Docker containers without issues. I connect to it via SSH and have Ubuntu installed — everything works smoothly. For everyday use, this mini-PC is more than enough for tasks like office work, browsing the internet, or streaming videos. It’s also a great option if you want to set up a small personal lab environment. I also own a high-end mini-pc that cost me around £1,000, which is fantastic for gaming but overkill for lab purposes. That’s why I chose this mini-PC - and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for something compact, affordable, and reliable.

Initially, very disappointed as I had problems with it freezing during the initial setup. I had connected the PC to my local network for setup. When packing the item for return, I read the small yellow label that was over the network socket. This is in microdot format, and I needed a magnifying glass to read it. The label instructs you NOT to connect to your network for the initial setup. Setting up with the PC not connected to my network, all went well, and I am very pleased with the performance. Normally, a Windows device needs to have a network connection for the initial setup. The handbok may be OK but the print is so small I cannot read it.

Absolutely brilliant, easy to install, fast, very quiet, well built worth every penny

Great piece of kit Arrived the day after I ordered it. Easy set up without any hitches. Quiet, compact and easily capable of handling my home office 365 stuff. Brilliant price. Can’t comment on longevity, time will tell.

Not as fast as I expected, took ages to set up, but since it's completed it's running away ok, small form factor descreet and almost silent.

This is a high spec, well made and very well priced product. Performance is notably fast and responsive. It’s also very easy to reconfigure the device to suit your needs. I have been very impressed by it and am definitely considering buying additional same or similar devices from this brand. Finally a mini pc that delivers.
