Title: Wow what a great machine, great price, some great features.
Review: This machine came in great packaging and was super easy to open and setup. The plugs and everything were quite easy to get and use. the cords were long enough, I would have liked to have about 2 more feet of power cord but that is just my preference, as always cords are either too long or to short or won't work if they are the right length, LOL.The startup was easy and pretty self-explanatory. The using of your Microsoft login that you might already have on other machines makes it nice. I have it configured with 3 monitors so had to use the only usb-c plug available. I ended up having to buy a usb-c 3.o hub to allow a couple of external hard drives to hook up (and that comes with a hard drive read write speed penalty, but it all has worked out well). The one thing I do have to say about these small units is usb ports are scarce and like I said 1 only thunderbolt 4/usb-c port. But the port issue isn't hard to resolve with proper equipment selection and all the hubs that are out there.The graphics are pretty good It has worked on several different monitor configurations, but it is surprising how well it does this as 2 of my smaller screens are touch screens and 1 is just a standard large display.The onboard sound works well and easy to configure but is limited as many this computer this size do. It is a combined microphone, sound port so you might need a splitter. It works well with just a set normal desktop speakers.The computer has plenty of power and super fast it is noticeably faster from my intel I5-12450H and my Rayden7 7735HS. All have the same ram size of 32 gig. And ram speeds are right about 1 speed difference.The hard drive is name brand and works well. read write speeds were consistent and pretty identical. I do have some externals that i move around that all were well managed and did well.The WI-fi and ethernet work very well and maintain speed easily. The wifi 6 works well with the St*rlink router too. I was surprised at the range it has on.The best is how quiet this one is it is so much quieter then my 12450H. You can play with the fan speed in the BIOS but was un-necessary. The BIOS was easy to manage and came out pretty well setup. I did not have to go into bios to get the 3 monitors to play well with each other either. Some of these little boxes you have to go in and adjust to get the cpu speed at full settings but this nididn't.The GPU works great especially with the intel arc software, which has a great system monitor built into it by the way.Now to the only serious caveat I have but it isn't GMK's fault in any way is the AI chip. I was hoping to see it do some work but at the current time unless you want to build some specialty software don't expect the system monitor to graph more than a flat line. Right now benchmarks is the only was to ascertain the AI. Now that Micros*ft has released fully integrated CO-Pilot in a couple of their machines I believe they will allow it to be turned on as this Intel AI is supposed to meet the requirements. I hope that to be true as copilot in online only is slower then i would like to see but i believe if it goes offline with the built in AI we will see it be much better performing.All in all, this is a great Machine with great features and even might be a little feature proof. Great performance, great components, nice and quiet, full of some great features and a dang good value.Only bad is lack of usb-c ports and usb ports in general, but common in machine's of this configuration, I still would like to see at least 1 more usb-c not with video out but data out and in would be great for external storage and such.I took some pics of it beside the 12450H and it is just slightly larger but with 2 fans i would expect that actually.There are some pics of the different screens showing what it shows on install and such. It was a pretty quick initial startup

Title: Small, powerful, FAST!
Review: My wife’s laptop is old and SLOW. I decided to buy a better unit, not bigger, to handle some additional tasks and “gift” my other unit to her. The older unit is a GMKtec also and is still working well and still does all the basic things and is 10 times faster than her laptop which is all she needs. I am moving to do some video editing and picture manipulation and some CAD drawing, so I wanted something with a little more “kick”. This unit seemed to fit the bill and the price was reasonable considering the extra speed, storage and expansion capabilities, and after putting it through its paces – it fits better than expected! As always, my goal is to try everything I can as quickly as I can to try to see if I can find any issues that would cause me to return it or to have to contact the manufacturer. The harder I tried the more I liked the unit, I tried things like playing 4K Video (need to get more of that). 3D modeling and rotating the objects, standard CAD drawings, picture editing and storage, all without any issue and I noticed a distinct increase in the speed from my other units. This will be the third GMKtec unit I have purchased. Because of that I can heartily recommend their products and service. I had one issue with my first unit, and they took care of it quickly and answered all my questions.The unit came nicely packaged in a clean box. Everything came out easily and I have a picture of all of the components attached to this review. I followed the startup instructions and plugged everything in and turned it on, went through the startup process with windows and was on my way. One thing to consider with a minicomputer is that it doesn’t come with peripherals, specifically a monitor and keyboard and mouse. I already have a minicomputer, so I already have these. When my wife moves to the older box we will need to get replacements for her. I will buy a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to minimize USB port use.This unit comes with 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, and the unit is expandible to 4 TB. On my other units I quickly upgraded the RAM and Storage to what this one comes with so at this time I don’t see the need to add more which is a savings in time and money. I am now a fan of disconnected peripherals, keyboard, mouse, screen, portable drives, etc. it gives me the flexibility to disconnect and move them as I see fit or carry them with me while I travel.After I got the unit up and running, I started loading software and setting it up the way I like. There were no difficulties and it seemed to load and execute the installations faster than I am used to. I did do some speed tests and I know the modem has a lot to do with speed, but I was getting 96 mbps upload and download connected to the LAN with a cable and 94 mbps upload and download using the Wi-Fi connection. Plenty fast for my needs.I hooked up a pair of older speakers that use usb power and the earphone jack and they worked fine. Shows that it is downward compatible with older equipment.I left the computer on overnight to ensure there were no problems. It went to sleep and woke up without any issues. Earlier models had an issue with this, and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t there.I played avatar on the computer monitor and it worked great no lag no hesitations beautiful color. I figured 4K would test its graphics capability and my living room TV is 4K compatible. I hooked it up to the TV using the HDMI and found some 4K sample videos to play. They worked without a hitch, no hesitation, no buffering, and beautiful color, quite stunning I should add. I might start looking for more 4K stuff to play on the TV.I Downloaded Freecad which is a 3D modeling software, again flawless. I was able to reorient the 3D picture as fast as I could, and it looked like a movie. Along those lines I used a CAD drawing program also with no issues.Decided to do some graphic manipulation for a sales project I’m working on and edited pictures and moved them around again. It worked beautifully.Lastly as a graphics / speed trial I downloaded the starcraft game and played for a while. No issues.Other software I downloaded and used: Quicken, iTunes, Sonos (we have a system in the house), DropBox, Microsoft 365, PumbleSo, this computer will take me to the next level I am looking for with speed, processing power, graphics and more. I had no trouble setting it up, using it and there were no manufacturing defects or problems. Since I have 3 GMKtec units now I can wholeheartedly recommend their products, and based on the interactions I have had they stand behind their products and provide support as needed to help. They are based out of China, so email has been my communication tool of choice even though there is a delay due to the time difference, but they have been very quick and responsive to my questions as their literature says “no question to big or small”

Title:
Review: This product replaced my work computer and allowed me to use it as a personal device. The product arrived neatly packaged with no damages. All items listed were present in the package. It was quick to setup and product was fully licensed and all specs matched the description. Device is nice and silent. End users have remarked they can hear me and see me clearly thanks to the computer. I’m throughly happy on all accounts. Only note for improvement would be to include built in speakers. Otherwise it’s fantastic.

Review: I use this for 3D modelling and printing, as well has drawing. Zero difficulty setting up and fast!! Haven't tried any gaming on it yet but the video quality is outstanding. My only thing. Needs more USB ports
