GMKtec Mini PC Windows 11 Pro Intel Core i7-1195G7 (Turbo 5.0 GHz) 32GB DDR4 1TB SSD Desktop Mini Computers WiFi 6, BT 5.2/ DP, HDMI/RJ45 2.5G/USB4.0

I had originally purchased this for a small server... then decided to use it instead of a laptop with a 23.8" slim LCD with folding stand... and a folding keyboard and slim mouse. It's a great device... 2 suggestions to GMKtec for the next generation after using it for a bit. 1) Switch to USB-C power... many of us have USB-C power delivery all over the place now and it would simplify the set up of this device. 2.) Add more USB-C... so you should be able to have 2 USB-C items plugged in and a USB-C power in all at the same time.. so 2 USB-C displays plus power makes this thing great for transport. Obviously more graphics power would be great but we all know that is a much bigger hit to the price.... it does well it's just not a gaming PC lol. Unlike the small unit I got for my car from a different manufacturer that had passive cooling this thing has zero heat issues... I wish I could go back in time and just buy 2 like this instead of one of each... I was trying to have the car system be silent.

Unit won't power up consistently. Sometime have to unplug and then try and restart. Sometimes takes 2 or three tries to get it to work. Great little machine otherwise when working. Also, the NIC card disconnects and have to reset it via Windows. Or go to Wi-Fi instead. Also, so far no response from the company for help. Very poor customer service. ***UPDATE**** After working with the vendor's tech support, it was determined the unit I purchased was defective. They replaced it, free of charge, even after the return period ended. The support was great. 5 stars. The replacement unit is working fine. I highly recommend this device and company. Great customer service. Never left me in the lurch. Oh, and for those comments about the "fan" noise? I believe what you are hearing is the hard drive spinning up, not the fan. Just my 2 cents. Update as of 1/1/2026 Unit ethernet fails almost daily. This was an issue when I received it and was told my support that it was a corrupted windows install and to reinstall the OS. This is the second unit of this type with this issue. I will not purchase another one going forward. If I have to rebuild thius machine again, I may as well buy another, more reliable brand.

2 days later and now the wireless adapter is totally dead.. This thing runs HOT under load.. GARBAGE! I reinstalled windows 3 times in two days.. Drivers dont fix it.. etc.. This computer is no faster than the Ryzen 7 I have mini PC SER Beelink right next to it. AMD is glitchy.. black screens etc.. So I bought this one.. Granted I am in the middle of setting this up for my business.. I always liked Intel for business. I'm downloading updates right now and office 365.. The fan is very loud.. It will be attached to the back of a monitor so I probably wont notice it much in my office. I would not buy this PC and put it in my bedroom for gaming that's for sure. The AMD Beelink SER.. is SOUNDLESS! There is no fan and I've had it for a couple years.. 1/2 the price and just as fast if you can deal with glitches in flashing active X or whatever AMD Radeon drivers are doing.. So office 365 just finished installing and now there is no fan going off like a mini hair dryer OLD school PC with 5 fans sound.. It dead quiet.. So under load this thing is a bit loud.. I will update later once I'm set up fully.. 3 stars may not be fair here..we will see.. One last here so the computer timed out and went to sleep just now.. Upon a mouse click to wake it the fan goes off.. its annoying really..BUT its right in front of me a foot away on my desk.

Ive only had it for 48 hours, but from what I've tested, the short answer is that this machine is a beast. I don't know how well it will hold up over time because some of the slightest things like scrolling on Youtube(not playing a video, JUST scrolling) will make it sound like a base PS4 trying to run PS5 games if you know what i mean. Here's what I've tested so far: I have a dock with three monitors to allow me to set up to anything using USBC , which it allows for and lets me keep the two HDMI ports open. It can easily fit any type of set up you want because of the size and has rails if you want to mount it as well. I have fiber internet connection and did a test for streaming, load times on webpages are quick and there's no lag in displaying pages. Downloaded OBS, Unity 3D, Blender,Chrome, Discord, Steàm, Antivirus and a few other applications. I closed out of Chrome as a reflex but i will circle back shortly. I opened task manager and saw CPU utilization was at 100 and some disk was being used but dropped fairly quickly and memory was hovering 30-50 percent for downloads. Pretty good so far. Opened steam and loaded Persona 4 Golden, and it's running smooth at a high resolution. I set up OBS and allowed it to auto detect settings, and it said 10K rate is good for this pc, so i started a 3 minute stream and checked my phone: No frame drops, everything is smooth as can be . Very good Set up and started Unity 3D and booted chrome again to check any intensive stress in navigating the scenes, and still pretty smooth. I can hear the fans blowing on the machine, sometimes it gets loud and then it goes back quiet, but you can hear it whenever you're actively doing something. The last thing i checked was video streaming on chrome but there was no issues in lag or processing , just the fans working. All in all, my only concern is how long it will be able to hold up because it SOUNDS like it's working very hard but the form factor and power combined with the price i purchased it for makes it worth the cost for anyone looking to get into anything I've mentioned above. Edit: Bought in October 2024, this edit comes July 2025. I'm still enjoying the pc, no major issues. However I've had two certain performance related things that have happened. 1. The dock that detects my monitors and is hooked into the pc will sometimes disconnect a monitor or two. It's rare and it may be something with the cables but it's happened every once in a while(been at least 3 months since the last occurrence). 2. I tried to test Blender animations with lighting for a personal project and the frames would not run. If you close the window and reopen it, it would jump several frames ahead. This is the biggest notice. So if you're trying to get into Blender animations, this may be a deal breaker for you. Making models hasn't been a problem though. Other than these two things, i haven't had any problems.

Bad ass and work well
