GMKtec Mini PC N150, G3 Plus Intel Twin Lake N150 (3.4GHz), 8GB DDR4 RAM 256GB PCIe M.2 SSD, Desktop Computer 4K Dual HDMI/USB3.2/WiFi 6/BT5.2/2.5G RJ45

The NucboxG3 came packaged very well. It contains the computer itself, an hdmi cable, the power cord and the warranty card. The box is substantial for shipping. After unboxing and connecting it to my monitor I powered it up and went through the initial setup procedures. It only took about 10 minutes and I was up and running on Windows 11. My plan is to use this as a Plex and Kodi Media Server.Both applications installed easily although Plex would not install from the Microsoft Store. After connecting both apps to my media library I began testing for smoothness of video playback paying particular attention to buffering as well as any audio issues. Plex transcoded a 4K video of Lord of the Rings extended edition to my 720 monitor without any problems. No buffering or skips or stutters.Kodi played a movie in native 720 without any issues.Both applications were incredibly responsive. There was virtually no audible sound coming from the fan even after watching videos for over 6 hours. The unit did get a bit warm but certainly not anything that would be alarming.I’ve not installed any additional applications since I don’t intend to use this for anything but an htpc.This is my second Nucbox device and I can say they are well built and easy to configure. I’ve got Linux running on my other device and both Windows and Linux perform extremely well.This is a very good computer for an extremely great price.

I needed to replace a Intel Nuc that I had in the garage for for my Laser engrave using Lightburn. This was a winner from the very beginning. It is a small machine that could fit behind the monitor leaving plenty of desk space. It handles all tasks and general productivity,This could be our primary machine if you don't do gaming. If you are a person that does media streaming , online shopping, pay your bills, a conspiracy theorist that "does their own research" This is an excellent computer for you. I would replace the gaming computer but i still game. I am telling you that you no longer need that tower computerThis box has 4 E-cores (efficiency) and enough GPU oomph to handle any media you may want to play back, and almost any productivity task you may throw at it. Again anything you can do on a computer with the exception of gaming and maybe heavy video editing photo shop works great, trading platform work great .Setup was almost instantaneous, and didn't require walking through a Microsoft account. You can simply create a local account and hit the ground running with Windows 11 Pro (a pro license at this cost is great!) Painless setup and immediate use mean that if you're deploying this for someone else you'll have little to worry about.The low power usage is also worth noting, and makes this a great small box for everything from casual use to productivity, to a child's learning tool to an always-on device in studio (which is what I will use it for).

I have various Windows 10 devices that are not upgradeable to Windows 11 so I purchased this with the intention of making this my new anchor Windows PC (I'm primarily a Mac user) and I plan on only using it for basic word processing, web browsing, and activities better suited to the Windows world.This is a preliminary rating as I received this device just yesterday. Packaging was professional and set up/personalization straight forward using a USB wireless Logitech Key/Mouse. Bluetooth setup for my Harman Kardon speaker and other bluetooth devices failed (wouldn't recognize anything discoverable) so I next began the lengthy process of Windows updating (actually still happening) and the bluetooth issue resolved itself somewhere along the way. So, beyond the bluetooth issue, this mini PC has been flawless, speedy, quiet, and has gotten only mildly warm during operation. I ran 5 YouTubes videos simultaneously as a test without issues. The system says it is running Windows 11 Pro, it has 475GB of storage (512 was advertised), 16GB memory, and the N150 chip. I'm on Google Fiber and my speed check was something like 400+ down/300+ up from the opposite side of the house from the router. I have NOT yet checked the other ports (USBs/HDMI/LAN).I'm not a computer geek so I can only share my 'user' experience as I compare this with my other devices (Macs/Chromebooks/Windows) and there have been no discernible performance issues.Wrapping up, so far, and comparing price vs. performance, I am happy with my purchase.
