GMKtec Desktop Mini PC Intel N100 Windows 11 Pro 12GB DDR5 256GB SSD Dual LAN, Mini Computer 4K Triple Display, WiFi6, BT5.2, Energy Efficient

Basically, I tried to do everything I could to test this unit and see if it stumbled in any way. I have not been able to make it stumble so I am very pleased with this purchase. I love the small size and because of it I may just keep components in several places and just transport the small box as my portable computer. It has plenty of power for the type of work I do, which is normal homeowner type of uses. It has all the ports I could use or anticipate needing. It has a DP Port (Display Port) which is used to string multiple monitors together. I haven’t considered this in the past, but may in the future and it will be nice to have the option with this machine. Some of the USB ports I’m using could be freed up by using Bluetooth components. I would recommend this computer for people looking for an alternative to laptops or towers and the price is right considering what you get. It also appears to me that upgrading to larger RAM and Storage may not be necessary as the cloud appears to be taking over. I upgraded my other mini to larger RAM and a 1 terabit drive. But after using this unit I’m not sure it is necessary. All in all I can’t say anything negative about the unit. I’m very pleased! Keep reading for additional detailed description. This is my second minicomputer from GMKtec. I purchased one about 1 year ago. It worked well but the SSD crashed. The company worked with me, and I was able to replace the SSD, and rebuild the software and it has been working ever since. So, they have been responsive and stand behind their products. I had a need for a second computer so spotted this and decided to give it a chance. The unit came nicely packaged and intact. All the items listed were in the package as advertised. The difference with the minicomputer is that all the peripherals are not included. I have many of the peripherals so it is not an issue for me but be aware that if you don’t you need a monitor (I’m using a small TV I had), a keyboard (I bought a $13 USB one) and a mouse (I already had one). After acquiring the components, you literally just plug the components in and turn it on. The first thing you notice is how fast the screen comes up. Remember when you would turn your computer on then go get some coffee and hope it was up and running? Not so here it is a fast boot up. It went through some introductory screens and askes you some questions. The only one that gave me hesitation was the password one. It turns out this is to log into the computer every time you turn it on. So, make that a simple one to remember. I didn’t but went in to change it later. It comes loaded with Microsoft Windows 11 After that I started downloading software and Apps, all the ones that I use. I had no difficulty or problems with any of them. I connected it wirelessly through my home router with no difficulty. It comes with the latest wifi-6. I’m connected with 2.4 GHz channel and get 55 Mbps download and 33.42 Mbps upload. I know this depends on your systems but shows that there is plenty of speed. The minicomputer unit is 1.5 inches high and 3 3/8 inches square (see picture). Plenty of USB ports and if necessary, you can put a USB expander in one port. I used the headphones jack to listen to some music and connected my Bluetooth ear buds also both worked with a hitch and there is no lag or distortion. The package also comes with an angle support so you can hang it on the back of the monitor. This cleans up the area and make the monitor appear to be an all in one. I loaded Microsoft 365, a mechanical drawing program, iTunes and quicken and used them thinking that they may put the unit to a test for speed and any potential problems. There were none and it performed flawlessly. I have some “sleep” issues with the other unit, but this unit goes to sleep and wakes up with no issues even if left for a long period and with the monitor disconnected. Another improvement I noticed was that they have changed the way they screw the cover on. On my previous unit you had to remove the rubber feet to access the screws, and this will eventually cause problems with them coming off. This newer unit has the screws accessible trough the feet. This is much better for those looking to do any upgrading.

Terrible Te llega la capacidad de SSD engañosa en la descripción dice 16Ram y 1T de SSD pero la capacidad real que te venden son 12 de RAM y 256SSD Publicidad engañosa

What its NOT: A high-performance machine. What it IS: A very-competent modest desktop device, with Windows, can handle multiple monitors (three) of reasonable resolution (e.g. 24" screens), is very power efficient, quiet and puts off little heat. One caveat: Due to the size of the case full-length nVME sticks WILL NOT FIT. This does limit your choices if you need more storage -- or want a faster one, as at least the smaller storage units come with MSATA (and not nVME) devices in them. However the connector is not blocked and the BIOS claims they're supported so at least theoretically an nVME drive of the correct length SHOULD work. For what these are designed to be - compact, power-sipping and suitable for office, remote work, web browsing and similar, or even potentially as a media player (from other storage) in a home theater setup they are nice and inexpensive. On a bang-for-the-buck basis they're very hard to beat and can easily mount right on the back of a monitor as well. For semi-embedded use (assuming you are smart about storage and possible corruption of the boot on power loss) they can be set to power on when connected in the BIOS too which is nice. It would APPEAR that a no-BS power-delivery USB adapter should run one which makes for a potential mobile use device given the availability of PD car adapters with 20V output but I've yet to attempt it and don't know if it would be stable. One caution is that consumer-grade SSDs are not power protected and as such there is a risk of scrambling it with unsolicited power failures so do take backups to something and be able to restore it if that happens (e.g. using Macrium.) UPDATE: If you are on Gigabit or slower Internet service the N150 version of this, which I've got, WILL run full wire-speed routing between both ports, it runs FreeBSD perfectly well and it can be set to power on automatically thus making it "power fail" safe. Note that it is EFI boot ONLY *and* its picky on the EFI partition layout, but it will boot and run off a USB stick with my (home-brewed) no-write-enabled media thus rendering it an entirely power-fail safe "stick it in a closet, its ok" appliance. A little firewall/router box with full IPSEC VPN capability that can run gigabit fiber Internet and not choke on the data for this sort of money, never mind sipping power, is pretty impressive. Just be aware they're RealTek NICs in there and not Intel thus config matters (specifically turn off TSO/LRO as usual for a router, AND shut off checksum offload.)
