GMKtec Mini PC, G11 AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 (Beats 4300U/N150), 16GB DDR4 RAM 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD, Business Office Personal Desktop Computer Dual NIC 2.5GbE USB-C HDMI Triple Display

A fully loaded pc. Add a monitor, keyboard, mouse and cables and you have an 8/256 gb system for under £200.The G3 nucbox is no powerhouse but it doesn’t need to be, it does everything I want it to. Well recommended..

I received this package from Amazon last Monday, superfast delivery even without Prime. The packaging was sealed and already small, and the box is even smaller, all the content is shown on the photo. The G3 is very light weight and there's a metal clamp, I believe this is to attach and hide it behind a screen, however the box takes so little space that I simply place it even on a really small desk.The box's plastic material feels like good quality and the colour is a nice, maybe dark-olive green, I prefer that over white which often gets yellowish over time, black collects dust and grey looks boring. It is replacing a bulky old Omen gaming PC in the living room area that was 8 time more in height and about the same difference is true for the surface area, the photo gives you an idea. The old PC was used mainly for internet researches, some homework related uses, some attempts in coding and writing emails etc. A Steam client was running on it with quite a collection, but more casual games. One issue was that the old PC was on 24/7 and a gaming PC is drawing a fair bit of power and I don't need the heat it produces now in summer, the Omen must have used at least 10x more energy than this G3. The tiny charger that came with the box says in small font I believe 36W, but I suppose the G3 is running on a lot less on average, so at 20 Watts it costs just about 3 cents a day to run permanently. The box is slightly warm but definitely not hot. The other issue with the Omen was that it didn't allow an upgrade to Windows 11 although the specs on that gaming PC are not bad. The G3 comes with Windows 11 preinstalled and that was very is easy to set-up. I recommend to take a backup with a 16/32 GB USB stick immediately once you've installed your browsers and any additional software. It takes about a night to run a Windows backup but it is just good practice because you don't want to be forced to buy an expensive Windows licence if ever something happens, even if it feels unlikely with a fresh Windows 11, which in my experience is a stabile OS and has become fairly secure, make sure you don't disable the updates.I've been running the G3 now for a week with three different browsers (Edge is preinstalled), countless tabs open. I had no problems connecting the Samsung screen via HDMI, a USB keyboard (even has French has second layout), a USB mouse and a headphone (cinch). My Wifi printer worked without much hassle, very easy to add it in Windows 11. This purchase fully meets my expectation and use case.

Strangely came with Windows! Now running Ubuntu server very well, no issues, makes a great appliance for zoneminder and jellyfin.

When you take into consideration the price to value of this product, you are able to get a lot out of this mini PC.It, of course, functions perfectly as a streaming box if you set it up with a wireless keyboard/mouse to watch whichever services you're subscribed to. I personally was interested in seeing how well this PC would function for gaming, as it's convenient size would make it perfect for attending LAN events/parties.It's maximum performance seems to teeter around what would be considered mid level system requirements. I've tested Minecraft as well as PS2 and Wii emulation which all ran pretty stably. When it comes to more intensive games like Valorant for example, it suffered from pretty significant stutters that could end up being disadvantageous. Granted this was tested on the 8gb model, and the stutters were infrequent enough, I believe it would run a lot smoother with more RAM. Fortunately the RAM is replaceable for this mini PC.When rated as a streaming box it is fantastic and runs videos smoothly. Since it can run up to the Wii/PS2 generation of emulation, it can also service as a great emulation machine. It also doubles up being good for games you can run at LAN parties like Minecraft or some low to mid system requirement fighting games.

This little box is terrific!First off, I love the attention to detail. Plenty of ports, 2 hdmi ports, ethernet port, WiFi6, and the packaging was simple and sleek. Plus it has a nice little carbon fiber look to it on the top and an off-color power button so it's easy to find in low lighting. All very nice touches.I used to like having a raspberry pi around the house for fun little side projects, but they've been getting more and more expensive and less and less impressive.I like that this comes with Windows operating right out of the box. Putting Ubuntu on it was a breeze as well. I had this thing up and running in less than 5 minutes! I plan on having one of these dedicated to a small study area for the kids and also having another box dedicated to running CasaOS.If you're looking for an affordable, low profile PC, this is the one! I like that I can easily move it from room to room with ease. I can move it the living room and play old Nintendo games. Then move it back to a study area for homework and web browsing.Very very pleased with this thing.
