GMKtec Mini PC Gaming, K6 AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS Dual NIC LAN 2.5Gbps Desktop Computer, 32GB DDR5 (16GB*2) 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD, USB4.0, HDMI, DP, USB-C, WiFi 6E, BT 5.2

This is a very neat little box of a computer, and if you know what you plan to do with it, I think it's a pretty good value.Basic setup is extremely simple, literally just plug in your mouse/monitor/keyboard and the power supply and turn it on. It booted with zero issues into the normal Windows 11 setup. For some reason the manufacturer recommends that you do not use a LAN cable when you first start the computer, but I was never planning on using it on anything but wifi, and it worked fine over wifi, so that is not a problem for me.Although I am planning in the future to install Linux on this machine, I was grateful that it came with minimal Windows 11 bloatware (just the windows standard stuff). Although initial setup was very fast, as soon as it connected to the internet it discovered that it had a year's worth of Windows updates to install, which takes a while, so the second time you restart the computer, expect it to go through a long update process (10-15 mins).I had no trouble hooking up Bluetooth peripherals (in my case a controller).If you are planning to use this computer for general purpose web browsing/word processing/light home server use/etc, you will have zero problems. For general purpose tasks, this computer is great. It's extremely snappy when browsing the web, downloading files, and running programs like Steam or Discord.I think advertising this as a gaming PC is a bit of a stretch-- there's only so far integrated graphics will get you, and I suspect this computer will suffer if you try to run any truly top of the line games on it. It is great for older games, or lighter indie games. I tested it on Fallout New Vegas and Celeste and it had zero issues whatsoever. I ran a benchmark test and it performed predictably poorly compared to computers with dedicated graphics cards. You can get a little more juice out of this machine by changing the allocation of VRAM in the BIOS. It's by default set at 3GB, but I went in and bumped it up to 8 (see the options in the pictures). After doing that, I didn't notice any performance dips from reallocating away the regular RAM. The 32GB this machine comes with is very generous.Even when I was trying to stress-test this machine, it was very quiet, and putting my hand on the top of the case, it never produced a ton of heat. The best way I could describe this machine is unobtrusive-- it's really small and could easily be mounted beneath a desk to completely hide it away. The power supply it comes with is almost the same size as the computer itself. The computer comes with a mounting bracket that I think is intended to be used to mount it to the wall.My one grumble is that the 1TB of onboard storage will run out pretty quickly if you're a person with a large media library like I am. I am not sure how upgradable the storage is, but I guess I can always just attach an external hard drive if I need more storage.The display options are HDMI and DisplayPort, which is fine. I wish the audio jack were on the back of the box rather than the front, but it is what it is.It comes very well packaged, works right out of the box, and performs exactly as expected. If you have a need for general purpose computing in a small form factor, this will serve that need.

I bought this after Christmas, and was impressed with its performance vs size. It arrived and I was even more impressed. The 16 threads plus the onboard GPU made quick work of my video game needs. I optimized Windows and the Adrenalin for gaming. The NucBox K6 was way more than I thought possible for such a small footprint machine.Mid April, my little Nuc went unstable and randomly started reset after a few minutes of use. I worked with the support team to get diagnosed what was wrong. It was determined that I should send it back for replacement because components solder mounted on the motherboard were failing.During the diagnosis, support ALWAYS responded with next step information within 24 hours and usually within 8 hours after me emailing them questions or results. All in all I had 5 exchanges with support. Each time super fast turn around and very relative professional help.They told me when I shipp the Nuc back to them, send them the tracking number and they would arrange the shipping of the replacement. Within 8 hours after sending my info and the tracking number, I heard back that a replacement had been authorized. Verification from the wearhouse arrived moments later. I had the new Nuc in hand for the weekend--3 days later.I am thoroughly impressed, not only with the Nuc, but also the support team behind it.I have worked over 30 years as a software engineer and never, received as good or better support than I have for this little inexpensive Nuc. I have worked directly with ALL of the biggest companies' support, warranty and service contract, in the industry: IBM, Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, Dell, and many more--the support I received on the little inexpensive Nuc is unrivaled.Now a note of sensibility: buy one of the little 3.6 inch component fans and set the Nuc on it to increase the air flow through the case, especially if you optimize for gaming. That's just sensible for any of the mini desktops.
