GMKtec EVO-X1 AI Mini PC AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX-370 Series (5.1GHz | 80 Tops | Radeon 890M) Gaming Computers, 32GB DDR5 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, Triple Screen 8K Display, WiFi 6 & USB4/Oculink Interface

I purchased this about a week ago to replace my 11 year old desktop PC and I'm very happy with the purchase. Setup was a piece of cake and I was blown away by the download speeds I am getting. It's infinitely faster and more capable than my old PC was, uses a fraction of the power and takes up a fraction of the space. I don't do any heavy gaming, so it meets my needs nicely and was well worth the price. I haven't had any issues with cooling but I don't think I'm taxing it too much either as I'm running a single 4k monitor and mostly running old games.

I've been using the Nucbox K8 Plus with 64GB DDR5 and 1TB storage for a few weeks now, and it's been nothing short of impressive. This little box packs a punch — fast boot times, smooth multitasking, and excellent performance with demanding apps. Despite its small size, it handles everything from work tasks to light creative projects without slowing down. The 64GB of DDR5 RAM makes a big difference when juggling multiple applications, and the 1TB NVMe SSD is fast and spacious enough for heavy file storage. The build quality feels solid, and it runs surprisingly cool and quiet. Setup was quick, and all the ports I needed were there — USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet — making it easy to connect everything I use. Great choice if you need a reliable, high-performance mini PC for productivity, media, or multitasking in a compact footprint. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Great mini PC, great build quality, solid and compact. Of course considering the current memory situation, the included 32GB SODIMMs are TWSC instead of Crucial or a more renowned brand, but that's okay. TM5 passes just fine. Stable during extended torture testing, it can take a beating. The included vapor chamber is a great cooling solution, it truly shines with PTM7950. About a 10 degrees C drop at full load on the stock fan curve, and burst performance/use doesn't even move the fan curve thanks to the improved thermal conductivity and overall thermal solution. The included W11 Pro license is real. A digital license, a reinstall activated automatically. The two NICs are Intel I226-v. Heard the name realtek around this model, but at least in this unit both are not. Great for dev work if you have your workstation, your monitors and preferred peripherals, beats a laptop's specs and sustained performance every time for the same price. This is a better deal IMO relative to current Zen5 offerings with two CCXs and the terrible latency in between them. Zen4 is still a powerhouse at 54w and the RDNA3 iGPU is pretty decent still for the power envelope. Runs LLMs in usable fashion if you have the memory to throw at. Apart from getting the non neutered Phoenix chip in the second best bin, you also get the Gen1 AMD NPU for whatever it's worth if anything ever makes use of it. Would buy again, eyes closed!

Very good for the money. Testing gave this about an 80% overall performance rating (+80% CPU, Memory, Disk). The GPU however was 43%. This is because the GPU is a lap top model limited by space in the compact unit. Thus not going to be good for high level gaming but just fine for older and less performance criteria games. I'm very happy with it and performs on the games I play. Just don't expect it to be a gaming powerhouse.

Works really well, I quite enjoy it the igpu can handle a lot of games and do a lot of work and if you ever wanna upgrade there's the occulink, I had mine for almost a year and my CPU fan failed but I reached out to support and they sent me a replacement for free since I was still within warranty so the PC is good and the support is even better.

The MKtec K11 is a powerhouse in a small form box. I use it for both work and gaming, and it handles everything I throw at it — gaming, video editing, multitasking — smoothly and without lag. Ryzen 9 and DDR5 RAM are enough to run games like Baldur's Gate 3 on high seting. One of my favorite things about it is how quiet it runs — much quieter than my last mini PC, even when pushing performance. GMKtec’s support is just as solid. Levi from support followed up personally and went out of his way to help fix a small setup issue. He took the time to make sure everything was running right. Great performance, great build, and customer service that actually cares.

Initially pretty good. Six months later the bluetooth has died with an error "STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE." Otherwise it sems to work- I'll start looking for a replacement before more parts fail. I expected a longer life-span from a computer in this price range.

I'm quite happy with this little PC, although I had to remove one of the memory cards and exchange it for a new one. Access to the internals is very easy via a Phillips style screwdriver. The memory cards pop right out. Until the replacement was delivered, I ran the PC with 32gb memory instead of 64gb. Customer service is unexpectedly attentive, so that is a plus. Knocking off a star since it needed service right out of the box. It's very quiet, fast, and the small the size is convenient to have it on my desk right behind the monitor. I would recommend, especially if you're ok with dealing with a minor repair as was my experience.

At first I was a little bit reluctant in buying a mini pc (like a laptop, it can grow legs and walk away. That is why I put a laptop lock on it). I really needed to get a new one, my old computer could not even edit in word. After watching reviews on YouTube I really thought about it. After having this computer for a month, it works great. 1T, 64gb ram it has a mighty graphic card. Works great for productivity (word, Web meetings). I have used it for stream gaming, the box does get hot, even when playing lego games. That is why I got a laptop fan for it. Even with the fan the box does heat up. The only way the box doesn't heat up, is hooking up a graphics card, and fan (oculink) The double ethernet makes streaming channels enjoyable. No need for a roku, the PC box takes its place. Over all I'm glad I brought this little machine. No need to spend six thousand dollars on a high end gaming box. I'm happy with my purchase

Would have been better with a uk plug

When Microsoft announced that they were retiring Windows 10, I had a decision to make. Continue on with my Asus Predator that was 11 years old and didn't have good enough hardware for Windows 11 or invest in a new machine. Armed with a box of chocolate and flowers, I convinced my wife that the latter was the best choice. Finding a system that didn't have more features than I needed or not enough took a really long time. I didn't want another tower so I started looking into the mini pcs. I researched a lot of companies and GMKtec had more positive feedback for after sale support and their products so I ended up with a K8 Plus with 64GB DDR5 ram, 1 TB SSD and it kicks _ss! Windows 11 pro was a snap to set up and everything worked right out of the box. It gets a little warm playing games but there's little or no fan noise. Nice. I've had computers since the mid 80s and this little powerhouse box amazes me! Thanks, GMKtec!

Very happy with machine. Works as advertised. One note - machine came with W11 Pro, but secure boot was disabled by default in BIOS. To enable, I pressed esc repeatedly at startup and navigated to security options and then to secure boot and switched it from disabled to enabled then F10 to save the changes. System started fine with secure boot enabled after that.

I've had it for a couple of months now, it's great. This is a humongous upgrade from 8 year old desktop. I still get crashes, and occasional glitches on Firefox developer, but they're far less frequent (Windows I suspect) - only one crash so far in two months and I leave open dozens of tabs all the time, run video editing software, Photoshop and CorelDRAW. You'll probably want a powered USB hub, there's only one on the front and two on the back, but I added a powered SABRENT 10 port hub and now everything is clean and organized, nothing plugged into the front of the unit which sits on my desktop Moukey Speaker. At the moment it's typically running at 40–44 °C (which apparently is good)
