GMKtecMini PC Intel i5-12450H(Turbo 4.4 GHz) 32GB DDR4 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD Mini Computers, USB 3.2, Type-C/WiFi 6, BT5.2, RJ45 2.5G/ 4K Triple Display Desktop PC

Love this little computer. It boots up really fast compared to several of my older computers. Just know that it's a bit of a "bare bones" type as it has no CD/DVD player. But I had 2 portable player already. It does have hook-up for most extras tho. I especially like the HDMI for my monitor. It does have Several USB slots but no where near enough for all the toys these days. So just get a USB hub. I have 6 things on a hub and need to add a couple more but so far they all work just fine for me. But I'm mostly just a home office user, not a power user.

I purchased this mini PC to replace a Bosgame mini PC with a bad fan (incredibly loud). The GMKtec is newer, so it has a newer i5 CPU, double the RAM, and double the storage. The GMKtec did cost more than the Bosgame I purchased 13 months ago, but it was worth it.This PC is plenty quick enough to use remote desktop, Office, run a virtual machine, and everything I need in my home office. If I need to edit or transcode video, I remote into a desktop PC in the basement. I could use this mini PC to transcode video if needed, but I would prefer to use a 16 core AMD CPU in my desktop.There are a few things about this PC that I really like. It has 32GB of RAM, a 1TB NVMe, two HDMI ports and 2.5Gb ethernet. I also love that the audio jack is on the back. My previous mini PC had the jack on the front, and that really irritated me for some reason. I was also very pleased to hear that the fan is reasonably quiet. It's a small fan, so it can be heard when extra cooling is needed, but even then, it is not bad.I visited the GMKtec website and found the support section a bit lacking. The drivers and a copy of Windows were downloaded from Google Drive. I don't know if the Windows download is anything different than a basic install and not an image with drivers or anything preconfigured for this PC. I downloaded it anyway.Lastly, there was an issue with another small mini PC seller having a virus on their computers from the factory (or at some point before it got to consumers). I scanned this PC with Microsoft's antivirus and Eset NOD32. Neither reported anything suspicious. I also liked that the only junk apps on the computer were what Microsoft includes. These were not even that bad. It wasn't like buying an Acer or Dell that have far too many junk apps.This is a fine little PC with more than enough power to use for office work, school work, or other light tasks.

Loving this little powerhouse PC! It is surprisingly fast and very quiet. I upgraded the memory to 64GB and have several virtual machines running on it as part of my home test environment. I have less than 24 hours so I cannot speak to overall reliability, but will update my review if anything changes.

This computer only measures 4”x5”x2”, but it packs more computing power than my old HP desktop that is the size of a small carry-on suitcase! It includes an Intel Core i5 processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, and Windows 11 Pro, all for less than $400. There is an internal expansion slot where I added a second 1TB SSD. It also has an internal cooling fan that is very quiet. Startup time is very fast, less than 20 seconds.My only complaint is the number of USB ports. Two USB-A on the front, two on the rear, along with 1 USB-C and 2 HDMI. My cordless keyboard and mouse receivers take two of the A ports, scanner another. I’ve solved that by adding an inexpensive USB-A hub that adds 4 additional ports. No memory card slot either, but a small SD Card dongle that plugs into one of the USB-A ports solves that.I love the small size, as it frees-up so much space on my desk. I also love using a desktop vs a laptop, because the desktop uses a full-size keyboard, a trackball mouse and a huge monitor screen; so much easier to use than a laptop.

The media could not be loaded. I am super impressed with the speed of this computer. It's handled everything I've thrown at it. I have a 44 inch wide screen gaming monitor that I was hoping it could handle. I also have a 34-in gaming monitor super high refresh rate and is 1440. This little machine handled both of those monitors. The top cover comes in two different colors, black or red. M.2 SSD one terabyte hard drive is right on the top and can be changed out for a two terabyte really easily. I'm going to run a network area storage with some hard drives connected to one of the many USB ports on this little computer. Boot time from hitting the power button to to the login screen is 10 seconds. I have an I-5 and a full-blown gaming PC that has an Asus motherboard, 32. Gigs of ram and gaming video card takes 15 seconds to boot up. And it has a Samsung m.2 SSD right on the board. So this little machine really performs well. Comes with windows 11 pre-loaded and just takes a few minutes to get through the initial setup. I haven't played any high-end video games but it's handled low-end video games fine. Not a huge gamer anyways. But this little PC is sure. Does free up a lot of space. If you're looking for a good solid PC that is expandable and is plug and play, look no further and hit the buy now button. I highly recommend this. And It has exceeded my expectations.

For the most part it works fine. It's quiet and you don't hear the fan unless you start using a lot of memory. Because I knew what ports etc I was getting, nothing in that area was a surprise. There's a slight issue (although I find it quite annoying) with the way it treats windows that I leave open. When I turn my TV (what I use for a monitor) back on, my Excel spread sheets will be in a minimized window with minus, full screen and X visible. When I click on minus or full screen it will instead send that same minimal window to the upper left of my screen. Then I can make it full screen from there. As long as my TV remains on the problem does not occur. There's likely a solution but thus far I have not felt like figuring it out. This did not happen with any other computer I've had since there were computers with Windows. That being said, it's truly a minor issue and I would buy this computer again.
