Been using this for a little while now and it’s honestly way better than I expected. Super quiet, fast, and handles everything I need for running my business. I’ve got a bunch of tabs open all the time, I do estimates, emails, some light video editing in Resolve, and it doesn’t lag or stutter.It’s not made for gaming or anything crazy like 3D rendering, but for what I do—mostly work-related stuff and a bit of editing—it’s perfect. The 32 gigs of RAM is nice to have, and the 1TB SSD is fast and gives me plenty of space.It’s super compact too. Doesn’t take up any room on the desk and it stays cool and quiet no matter what I throw at it.What I like:Small, fast, and quietGreat for multitasking and business stuffCan handle light video editingGood storage and RAMSetup was easyWhat it’s not for:Gaming or anything super graphics-heavyIf you need a ton of power for creative work, you’ll want something biggerBut overall, really happy with it. Great little PC for what I need.

My name is Dr A and I am a real person. I recently purchased this product, the GMKtec Plus Gaming Mini PC Loaded with Win 11 and a 1T SSD. It can be used for Gaming but can also be used as a PC, which is what i bought it for. I love its compact size. It sits on my desk next to my monitor. It is extremely quiet. literally, I cannot hear its dual cooling fans working. As with most electronic devices things rarely go smoothly which is where technical support is extremely important, especially when this purchase involves software (Win 11) and hardware. I did have issuers getting some of my old peripheries to work correctly and I had some Win 11 glitches. I am happy to report that the technical support I received was outstanding, to say the least. After about 5-7 days of working kinks out, I discovered the errors were mostly on my part, such as the Microsoft One Drive, and Screen Saver, Screen sleep and Power plans such as PC going to Sleep functions were working. Once I resolved the One Drive issues (I completely by removing it from the OS register and deleted it from my computer. I do not use or need the Cloud. The only issue remaining were the screen saver and screen shut off and Mini PC not going to sleep functions not working. With the aid of technical support, we believed the issue may be with my older Hp monitor with it VGA port. In order to get the monitor to work and to plug into the Mini's HDMI port I need to use a VGA to HDMI adapter. I was thrilled this adapter worked well however, I later discovered this adapter was preventing the Screen Saver and Sleep (Power Setting Plans) from working correctly. I was advised by technical support to test the Mini PC with a different monitor. I tested with the HPE243 monitor with a dedicated HDMI port. I connected it to the Mini PC with the HDMI cable which shipped with the Mini PC. I tested it with WIFI connect and also unconnected. I also tested it at different launch times for the Screen saver and screen power off as well as mini PC Sleep functions. To my surprise the monitor and or adapter were the issues. Problem solved. All functions are now working perfectly. I created a Recover Disk and performed a full disk image backup onto an external drive. Now, I'm all set. Oh, I also order a new monitor. I cannot thank the technical support staff enough for not only helping me with the hardware side but also on the software issues. The GMKtec Plus Gaming Mini PC is an amazing Mini PC. I've already referred several of my friends. I highly recommend, if you are looking to conserve space and have a great Mimi PC/gaming box, this is the one for you. An addition: I discovered the new win 11 does not like wireless USB mouse. If you use one the power plan functions will not work, the screen saver, screen power off and PC sleep. I tried this on three separate machines with wireless usb mouse. Once disconnected and a conventional wired usb mouse connected, all worked well. This was not the case in win 10.

I’ve been using the GMKtec K8 Plus (Ryzen 7 8845HS) for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been a solid machine. Performance has been excellent for the price—fast, quiet, and well-built. Definitely a great piece of hardware for the money.I did run into an issue with the preinstalled AX200 Wi-Fi card, which had trouble reconnecting after the system woke from sleep. I contacted GMKtec support via email and found them responsive, usually replying within 24 hours. After trying updated drivers and power setting adjustments, we determined the card needed to be replaced.I decided to upgrade to an AX210 Wi-Fi 6E card, and it’s been working flawlessly since. GMKtec kindly credited me for the cost of the replacement, which I appreciated. I’m deducting one star due to the Wi-Fi issue out of the box, but I was satisfied with the support experience overall. If you’re a little tech-savvy and looking for an affordable powerhouse with good expandability, this is a great choice.

I've been a big fan of GMKtec products ever since I bought my first miniPC several years ago. This will be the third model that we bought and one of the most amazing. It is fast, efficient and well made miniPC suitable for gaming and any intensive graphics like CAD rendering. Plenty of memory and SSD with plenty of ports for displays, etc... Way faster than the traditional PC it replaces. Opening CAD files proved the point right away. Seamless integration with our measuring equipment attached to the PC. Great value and features for the price.
