Good Performance and Value Mini PC
I bought the GMKtec Mini PC G10 (3500U) because I wanted a full-featured PC that would not take up a lot of desk space. After using the Mini PC for a couple of weeks now, I am very happy with my purchase. First of all, it not only replaced my old desktop PC , but it is also much faster. For those interested in the GMKtec G10, here are some specifics…Performance: Very good. All my apps open fast without any issues. All the typical Windows, Google desktop and my other well-used programs operated smoothly. Also, for a small unit, it is very quiet.Video: Very good. I hooked mine using the HDMI port (it also comes with a HDMI cable) to my large screen TV. No problem.Set-up: Very easy. My GMKtec Mini PC G10 package came with a power cord, power adapter, and HDMI cable. The Mini PC connected easily to my home wi-fi. It also has a hard-wired LAN port for a wired connection. I simply disconnected my old pc system and plugged in the G10, and it was ready to goSize: Very small cube size. Looks like about 4 inches on each sideOverall: I would highly recommend the GMKtec Mini PC G10. It is a good value and has very good performance.It has all the normal features a Windows PC should have; it connects to the internet easily; it has lots of ports for peripheral devices. with lots of USB ports. If you are like me and don’t want a huge computer taking up a lot of desk space, and want one at a good price, the Mini PC G10 will be a good choice.

The GMKtec Mini PC N97 is surprisingly great for the price!
I recently purchased this little computer, alongside some other accessories (monitors, keyboard and mouse, etc.), and let me tell you: as of writing this review, this little guy has blown me away! I was trying to stay within a budget of less than $400 for everything I needed, and this computer caught my attention, as it had decent specs at an affordable price. For further context, I mainly wanted an affordable desktop setup that could do all the web browsing, media consumption, recording videos, and light gaming that I desired. (NOTE: Keep in mind though that you’re not going to be able to run any competitive, demanding AAA title games on here!)As I got my package and held the box containing the computer, I was blown away with how small, light, and compact this thing was! For reference, my GPD Win (1st gen) weighed more than this PC, and my Win only has an Atom processor in it! As for setting up the device, I saw some reviews claiming there’s a bunch of bloatware pre-installed on this device, to which I can confirm that there is absolutely none whatsoever (at least on mine there wasn’t). Setup was absolutely easy and straightforward.As for its performance, this thing may be small, but it is mighty for the price. For gaming, I tested it out with three different versions of Minecraft: Java Edition: latest release, Beta 1.7.3, and Alpha v1.0.7. The latest release at low-mid settings and Beta 1.7.3 max settings run at similar framerates for me, around 60 fps 720p. I know, 720p doesn’t sound very impressive. However, for me, I don’t personally need anything too fancy, and 720p is perfectly fine for me on a 20 inch monitor. Alpha v1.0.7 ran on this almost flawlessly! No issues there whatsoever!For recording purposes, I utilized OBS Studio to test with this, and I screen recorded some gameplay of me playing Minecraft Alpha v1.0.7 with commentary, and with some occasional dips in frames every now and then while I was playing the game, the recording ran smoothly at 720p! (NOTE: I haven’t tested out anything with 1080p, but if I do in the future, I will update this review.) Playing the recording back, it blew me away with this PC’s capabilities in such a small chassis!For media consumption and web browsing purposes, I have had absolutely no issues in this regard. This little computer just eats anything I throw at it. Whether it be a YouTube video, an offline screen recording I’ve made, viewing documents, or even doing more demanding tasks on the browser, like playing browser games or running a 3D tour on Zillow, this little guy can handle any task I throw at it reliably and efficiently!Overall, I’d highly recommend the GMKtec Mini PC N97 to anyone looking for an affordable mini desktop PC! Safe to say, I’m very happy with my purchase and will look to this seller for any future mini computers they have in store!

The NucBox G5 is a remarkable feat of engineering, fitting a very capable processor and lots of ports into an incredibly tiny package that will fit anywhere, or that you could easily take with you in a bag (more on that below).As an existing owner of the NucBox G3, the G5’s baby(?) brother (G3 = lesser power, bigger size), I was already impressed with what GMKTec has been able to do with a mini-PC, but the G5 blows that out of the water.Size Comparison with NucBox G3:The NucBox G5 is remarkably compact, measuring just 72 x 72 x 44.5mm and weighing less than a small and light coffee mug (168 grams). To put that in perspective, it’s about 2/3 the lenght of a deck of cards, and about twice as thick. When you compare it to its predecessor, the NucBox G3 (see photo), it’s clearly much smaller, and about the same weight. The G5 manages to maintain its power while taking up even less space on your desk… or frankly anywhere you want to put it. I had my G3 and now have my G5 mounted on the back of a monitor (see photos) – just be careful to ensure adequate ventilation so the unit doesn’t overheat.Performance and Use Cases:Inside the NucBox G5, you’ll find an Intel N97 processor, a step up vs. the N100 in the G3. The 3.6 GHz CPU has 4 cores and 4 threads . Now there’s no way it can compete with high-end desktop or laptop processors, but it’s more than capable for everyday computing tasks. I’ve also used it with zero perceptible latency with an external FocusRite interface and Neural DSP Archetype plugins (CPU-heavy guitar amp and effects modelling software) that has choked some of my older laptops and it’s capable of light work without a huge number of layers in Affinity Designer (pro-level vector graphics design software). If you haven’t used those types of demanding software, that’s genuinely a huge achievement for something that costs less than $300 CAD.For day-to-day activities like office work, web browsing, and multimedia playback, the NucBox G5 works very well too. It can handle running at least a dozen browser tabs at once in MS Edge or Chrome. Its small size, combined with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, makes it easy to integrate into your setup. Comes with Windows 11 Pro baked-in, so setup is straightforward even for non-IT professionals. The OS loads quickly, and basic tasks are smooth.Let’s set realistic expectations though. If you’re planning heavy image or video processing, the NucBox G5 might struggle. Stick to light to medium-weight office tasks, and you’ll be pleased with its performance.Connectivity, Ports and Power ConsumptionThe NucBox G5 offers many connectivity options, but it is a bit disappointing to see that all USB 3.2 ports are Type A (no USB C connectivity without adapters). It has limited upgrade options, so consider your needs carefully before purchasing – you can basically upgrade the hard drive size and that’s it. Given the size of the unit, the RAM (memory) is hard-soldered to the motherboard, but at 12GB for most purchase options, it’s got plenty for most applications.If you’re looking for a lightweight machine for on-site work, off-grid systems, or even van life, the NucBox G5’s power draw (15-25W) through its single USB-C port makes it an excellent choice.Packaging:The G5 comes nicely boxed and the box is highly protective of the G5 itself. (The box did take some minor dings in transit as seen in the photos, but the contents were pristine.) I was also pleasantly surprised that GMKtec fixed the absolutely airtight NucBox G3 box that was almost impossible to open. This one is snug to open, but doesn’t require a prybar to get into.In summary, the GMKtec NucBox G5 is a worthy upgrade from the G3, offering an impressive blend of compact design, powerful performance, and affordability. If you need a mini PC that fits almost anywhere without compromising too much on capability, this little box is worth considering. Just be mindful of its intended use, and you’ll appreciate what it brings to the table!

Para muy pocas cosas que no sean lo basico de Office, es un Celeron, asi que no tiene potencia para muchas cosas mas, el problema mas grave es que no es nada estable, se congela, se traba, etc. No la recomiendo.

Two days in it seems like a decent unit. First update took a long time,but once through that everything is good. One thing I will mention, keeping in mind that I’m not very good with computers,is that I couldn’t get the thing to do its initial set up with a wireless keyboard. I had to find and plug in my old wired unit to get the machine up and running to the point I could pair the wireless peripherals to the PC (it was a painless expirience pairing things as well).Have it hooked up to a 50” tv in the shop to display blueprints on and it works awesome. I know it’s capable of way more than that,but the incredibly small size and the price make it perfect for what I need and there’s plenty of room for added tasks as they come up.So far I’ve got no regrets.
