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

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.

Great value in terms of a mini pc that takes care of my needs. I needed a mini pc that could game as well as to use my graphics software including some 3d modeling software. The mini pc runs smoothly and effectively. Running core temp, a temperature recording software, the mini pc shows that it runs at a cooler 80s Celsius while running a graphics intensive game (Marvel Rivals). I'm sure that this PC will be my main workhorse for the next 5+ years. On the otherhand, the size is small and the form factor is something I appreciate for my smaller work place set up. In terms of ports, it's decently stacked to take on all the peripherals I have. Overall, I have no complaints.

EDIT - 4/18 Things seem to work well now, also I was not able to get Debian installed but I think Ubuntu Mint was working ok. Marvel Rivals when hard to compile shaders and crashed when started with a ton of crap in the background but after a reboot was running at 40% CPU, 80C and was too busy playing to catch GPU temp/usage. Ran very smoothly but I would guess 45-60fps tops.So this seems to be a great device for my needs. You probably won't run Cyber Punk on Ultra here but I have heard you can host a private WoW server with 500 bots running as well as run 3 different browsers with 1 running YouTube/Prime movies and another running Twitch and the system utility stays at about 40-50% CPU usage and 70-80% RAM usage on a 32 Gb Ram machine, CPU hit's 65-70C and GPU hit's 55-60C. No issues with lagging components unless it is internet/waterfox related. I will try out Marval Rivals and a few other FTP games and update this in a month ish. I will also try to grab power consumption a little later as well I just had a super customer service experience(see below) that was in touch multiple times through out the issue so wanted to provide feed back now.I have another mini AMD PC and I highly recommend installing the AMD Adrenalin software as I had Video issues on my other system before installing the updated CPU drivers. I did install that when first getting the system and have not had the same video issues(also stopped getting video issues on the other system so I put that on bad initial drivers from AMD).PREVIOUS ISSUESI have no clue if it works. Came with a bad SSD. Customer service is pretty responsive but "Estimated delivery time: 8-13 working days." so I have 2 to 3 weeks before I know if the product works. Going to order a replacement SSD and will install Linux on it to make sure it functions and everything seems to work ok.

I tested it with windows even though I bought this to turn into a Linux machine, and Spotify didn’t work on Windows for some reason. Everything worked like a dream in Arch though, this thing is great if you want to daily drive Linux. I didn’t knock a star off because I feel like the buggy Spotify is more of a Windows problem than a This PC problem. I’m only noting it here to help people make their decision- you might have to put up with some windows jank, or try a fresh install.It’s been running every game I want it to run just fine. Needs an external graphics card if you want to do the latest and greatest of AAA on ultra. It runs Cyberpunk with lowish setting as is and that kind of stunned me, though I’ll still be using my card for games like that. I bought this because it was the most economical way to upgrade my gaming PC and I am not disappointed.
