With my offbrand Intel N5105* miniPC that I got last year, still running well for what I need it for and emulation. I love being able to travel with it and runs faster and better than my older Pi4 that I still own. What sells me on this is that it's so small that to travel with it is easy and causes less (or no) attention in customs.

also it plays back video like a charm, which is not something you can say about the pi4 all times.

The Nuc-like PCs are like a gateway drug! I bought one earlier this year, maxed out the memory and SSD, then figured out the graphic problem with upgrading the Linux OS. Best little hidden PC I ever had. I plan on building a little network of these kinds of PCs all over the house. Just because…

@TheCrystalJules 29 дней назад

I got this exact mini PC last week and set the TDP to 15W in the bios, so far pretty impressed with the performance in "classic" games I'm trying; maxed out settings in Oblivion and it's almost always at 60fps. New Vegas I've only just booted up but it's running well too. Running Morrowind/OpenMW actually doesn't do as well as Oblivion but I've got it near max locked to 30fps which is fine for me. I'll test out FFXIV and Apex Legends next (whenever I upgrade the SSD) but it ran the FFXIV Dawntrail benchmark at "slightly low" which is better than I'd anticipated. Overall very happy with the performance after years of all my computing tasks shared between an iPad pro, a Raspberry Pi 400, or if I had to use an x86 computer dusting off a decade-plus old dual-core laptop.

@Musings-From-Mike 26 дней назад

My second desktop computer is an old HP with a Core-I7 running Linux Mint and feeding a 32" gaming monitor. I could really free up floor space and do everything I want to do with this amazing mini. The days of the giant floor standing computers is receding into the past at accelerating speeds.

I didn't even know GMKTec released this!! I have a NucBox 5 that I use for a x86 development server that's super portable. Unfortunately that only has a N5105 processor and 8GB of memory. Going to have to replace it with this one! Having a cpu with AVX/AVX2 allows more things I need to run, NICE! The extra memory and newer CPU will definitely help me! Thanks for posting this!!!

@5argetech56 29 дней назад

I own the GMKtec NucBox G1. Low end but it works just fine for what I need it to do. I upgraded the memory to 16Gigs and Added a 1TB NVMe SSD. Dual booting Windows 11pro and Xubuntu 22.02-LTS. Linux is my everyday OS. I have Windows for Adobe products. Overall I love the size and performance of this tiny little box.

Ya this is amazing and I totally agree, they should always include an extra USB-C port or two for data, should be standard now...this would be perfect as a 2nd pc for a family member (like my mom) who doesn't game much and the price is excellent. Back in the day 4 cores were slow asf, but with the improvements in TDP, they're good workhorses now...if they can run 4K vids...what more can you ask for that meets 90% of your needs?
