GMKtec M5 Ultra Gaming Mini PC Ryzen 7 7730U (Upgraded 7430U/ 5825U), 32GB RAM 512GB SSD Dual NIC LAN 2.5GbE Desktop Computers, Triple 4K Display, WiFi 6E, USB-C, BT 5.2, DP, HDMI 2.0 Blue

I needed an upgrade to a more basic N97-powered mini PC and this one happened to fit the bill nicely for price & specs. The machine it replaced was being used as a daily-driver but some of the tasks were maxing it out (running some data analysis tasks with 100-200MB text files). This too is a daily driver, but on the same analysis tasks barely breaks through 20% cpu use. Equipped with twin RJ45 gigabit LAN, space for 2 M.2 SSD, 2 slots for RAM (max 64 GB) and upto 3 monitors (HDMI, DP & USB-C). 2x USB 3 on the front and a couple more USB 2 on the back gives plenty of expansion / peripheral options. Admittedly it is an older Ryzen 7, but ultimately it's not for games so that doesn't bother me and it remains a powerful little unit. Very low power draw even when working hard, yet to hear the fan fire up to cool it - I can just about hear the fan if I put my ear next to the unit. WiFi & Bluetooth are built in so it connects fine to all your peripherals without issue - I've had earbuds, mice, keyboards and speakers linked with no issues. I cloned the SSD from my existing PC and installed it into this one, and added a 2nd SSD for good measure (prior to the insane price hikes of late thankfully!) - I dual boot Linux Mint and Windows 11 Pro (W11 is purely there if I need it for the odd work task that I cannot do on Linux). Everything detected first time without error and I'm approaching 3.5 months of use. Size-wise, about 12.5cm square and 5cm tall it takes up little desk real estate, and if you go for wireless everything the only wire is the power cable from the fairly small brick, so no cable management issues. Usage-wise: at any one time I can have a browser with multiple tabs, some form of streaming, maybe using something like tinkercad or 3D printer slicer, basic photo editing and also film/slide/flatbed scanning with Epson V600, along with some form of word processing or PowerPoint type work on going, with any combination of these activities it handles them well, even my analysis tasks can run in the background with no noticeable slowdown. Overall a great little machine for the ~£300 I paid. Well worth it.

The packaging alone gives a first-class impression, everything is snug, well protected and clearly labelled, so unboxing feels more like opening a high-end phone than a desktop. From the moment I pressed the power button to reaching the OS desktop, it was up and ready in seconds. The initial setup and personalisation took no time at all, with no unnecessary bloat slowing things down. It’s completely silent while running and easily fits in the palm of my hand. We’ve mounted it discreetly behind the living room TV using the included bracket, and the only sign it’s on is the small LED. This is a family PC that will be used daily for several hours at a time, so it needed to be reliable, and so far it has been flawless. No crashes, no noise. The build quality is excellent too. The case feels solid and durable, and it stays cool even after extended use. The rubber feet stop it sliding around, and the top panel is easily removable if I ever want to upgrade the RAM or storage. Overall, this mini PC delivers exactly what I hoped for, fast, silent, low-energy computing in a tiny, tidy package. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting a fuss-free desktop pc for the home.

Bought the M7 model with 32gb ram and 512gb ssd. My criteria for choice was a pc where I could extend memory and add additional SSD, to future proof the pc. It has oculink, so my son might inherit it and he is into gaming. Another requirement was to have 2 full featured usb-c sockets as I will use it with multiple monitors and also want to be able to power it via usb-c Set-up was straightforward. I am using it with a touchscreen monitor, but had to attach to a wired monitor and wired keyboard and muse during setup. I tried to power it with a 65W usb-c charger, but it just turned off after a couple of seconds. I will try again in silent mode, where it may need less power. The supplied power supply is pretty small, so it not a big issue, but I was hoping to run it from the USB output of a monitor It is pleasingly quick compared to the mini pc it replaced, The touchscreen works from the USB C output but not from the HDMI, other monitors do work on HDMI, so that is mysterious. stil ned the USBA for touch on the screen as the socket on the screen is HDMI. The only flaw is the WiFi. If I am next to the router I can get 700mb/s (900mb/s internet), but in another room, only 0.3mb/s, moved it the other side of the screen, closer to router, and got 3mb/s. For comparison other devices can get 20mb/s at that location. So seems that is a high bandwidth WiFi, but has limited range. The old mini pc had an external Ariel, so maybe that's is the difference. I might get a usb wifi6 adaptor (£10-20) if I cannot resolve by moving the router. I have added an additional SSD. The box is well made, but the lid was stiff to remove the first time, so I was not sure I wasn't going to break it. For £360 I have got a mini pc with double the ram and 30% faster CPU than a 15" HP folding touchscreen laptop I got for my wife 2 years ago for £750, so I am happy about the price.

I recently upgraded my mini PC after a disappointing experience with another vendor. This model, paired with a generous coupon, has been a pleasant surprise. While it's generally excellent, there was a minor hiccup: it included a PCIe Gen3 hard drive despite having a PCIe 4.0 slot. Fortunately, I had a spare Gen4 drive and easily swapped them out. The performance boost was immediately noticeable. The build quality is impressive, with a sturdy design and convenient access to internal components. There are numerous ports, including a fully functional USB 4.0 port, meets my needs. One of the biggest surprises for me was the ability to set up Windows 11 Pro with a local account, avoiding the usual Microsoft account requirement. While I encountered a minor issue removing pre-installed languages, it was a small price to pay for the flexibility. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with my purchase. The Ryzen 9 6950H processor, coupled with ample RAM and storage, provides excellent performance. If you're looking for a reliable mini PC with a solid feature set, I recommend considering this model." I have included 2 screen grabs from some drive speed testing I did. One is the internal drive and the other is using a USB3.2gen2 enclosure with a Samsung Evo 1TB gen4/5 drive connected to the USB4.

Está muy bien, pequeño, silencioso y funciona perfecto. Lo quiero únicamente para ofimática, internet y poco más...dudo q sirva pa jugar ya que el procesador se queda algo corto. Buena compra tal y como se están poniendo los precios.

İnternette mini pc bakarken bu ürüne denk geldim. Ayrıca youtube kanalında satıcının ürün inceleme videosunu da izledim ve yorumlara da bakınca kesinlikle bu ürün olmalı dedim. Öncelikle ürün çok hızlı ve güzel paketlenmiş bir şekilde geldi. Kurulumu çok kolaydı. Yorumlarda belirtildiği gibi ilk güncelleme çok da uzun sürmedi. 1 saat içinde bütün güncellemeleri ve hesap kurulumunu tamamladım. Hatta güncellemeler arka planda inerken gerekli uygulamaları kurdum. Ürüne gelecek olursak 20 sn de açılıyor ve hızlı. Chrome da 30-40 tan fazla sekme açıkken bile birçok işi yapabiliyorum. Aradığım masaüstü pc ye kavuştum. Küçük ve yer kaplamıyor. Boyutune göre güzel işler yapıyor. Oyun performansını denemedim zaten halihazırda oyun için bir laptop um var. Ancak eski DOS ve konsol oyunlarını rahatlıkla oynayabileceğim bir makine. Masaüstü işleri ve bazen de televizyona a bağlayıp IPTV olarak kullanacağım makine olarak aldım. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

spedizione ottima, prodotto ottimo, rispondente alla descrizione e ben funzionante. Ho subito formattato HD e installato una distribuzione Linux da utilizzare come piccolo server. Con i kernel non recentissimi è necessario aggiornare il driver per la scheda di rete RLT 8125. In rete si trova tutto facilmente. Alimentazione elettrica via USB C con caricatore fornito in confezione. Ventola molto silenziosa. Lo ricomprerei.

After using this machine for around 3 weeks, I can say it performed solidly for a big majority of tasks. It comes with: -AMD Ryzen 9 Pro 6950H 8 cores 16 threads, up to 4,90GHz. -Integrated graphics, radeon 680m 2400MHz -32GB DDR5 dual channel ram @4800MHz -1TB PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVME -Intel I226V DUAL LAN 2500Mbps + WiFi 6 (2.4GHz/5.0GHz), Bluetooth 5.2 -Quad Display Output, HDMI 2.1 (8K@60Hz), DP (4K@144Hz), USB4 (Type-C)*2 -Dual M.2 SSD 2280 PCIE4.0*4 Slots. MAX 4TB -Oculink Port This has everything you need in a mini PC in terms of technology, expansion and ports Performance Wise, I did some CPU and GPU benchmarking to check how it handles harder tasks! *Everything was tested on Balanced mode in BIOS* Cinebench Single core : 90pts Cinebench multi-core : 681pts Geekbench single core : 1879pts Geekbench multi-core : 9750pts Geekbench GPU (Vulkan): 30705pts Userbenchmark Normal use : 195pts Userbenchmark Heavy use : 901pts Userbenchmark Server use : 1441pts Userbenchmark GPU DX9 : 58.9fps Userbenchmark GPU DX10: 32.7fps After testing that, I could see that the CPU is the star of this machine, making it perfect for heavy workflow, server use etc. Even tho I know the GPU is not the best, I still performed tests in a couple of games to check. Obviously, with the integrated graphics, you can't expect to be running games at High settings. *everything was tested at 1080p* CS2 High settings: AVG: 60fps Highest: 78fps CS2 Low settings with FSR: AVG: 85fps Highest: 100fps Valorant low settings: AVG: 180fps Highest: 210fps Valorant High settings: AVG: 160fps Highest: 200fps Definitely not bad! I also tested emulator games such as Wii, Wii-u, switch and PS2 and it was running every game smoothly. The best way to fully enjoy this pc is with the Oculink port. Plug in your own GPU and you can run any game without a problem. In terms of CPU temps, lowest was 52c and highest was 82c while on full load. On full load, I gotta say the fan has gotten pretty loud. The rest of the system ran pretty cool, staying around 40-50c. Finally, pros and cons PROS: -Great aesthetic -Quality materials used -Upgradeable (Dual M.2 slots 4TB max and 96GB of ram max) -Versatile (4 display outputs, dual LAN ports, Oculink port) -Great performance -Windows 11 pro pre-installed and activated CONS: -Noisy fan when in load -Integrated graphics -A bit pricey To sum up, if we're not talking about gaming, this mini pc can handle absolutely anything from office work, video editing, Entertainment, emulation, router, anything. What I love the most about it is that you can transform it in whatever you want, it could be a router, a powerful gaming server, a NAS, an office computer, gaming pc (with oculink), you get the point. I would say this is worth it if you are looking for a compact, powerful and versatile machine!
