GMK KB1 Mini Pc Windows 11 Intel J4125 4C 4T Up to 2.7Ghz 8GB DDR4/128GB SSD, Mini Computers with HDMI 4K Output,2.4/5G Wi-Fi,BT 5.1.

I ordered this tiny PC not expecting a whole lot from it, paid 170 for it. Talk about an incredible value. Got it to serve as a music server, streaming music & video in my garage, hooked to a MODI DAC, a cheap 32" flat screen TV, bottom line/entry level yamaha reciever. Also order car parts etc, look up specs online and such. All I an say is wow, unless you're a hard-core gamer playing games the require a graphics card that'll cost 2+ times what I paid for this thing or edit video and need a monster CPU, this tiny PC will get it done. Had my 400 or so cd's already ripped to lossless files on another computer already so I just copied them to flash drive then to the tiny PC. if you have a person who's using an older desk top to get on social media, play casual games, email, store pictures, etc... this is a very viable low cost option with more than enough computing power. If you just want to add a computer to a TV in any room, this will do it and nobody even has to know it's there it's so small. I just don't see how they're able to sell this for the price they are. You can hear the fan when it's quiet in the room, it disappears when watching TV, listening to music etc... the fan sure isn't loud nor offensive. WOULD I buy another? Yes, in fact at this price and the preforman this thing offers I might just buy few more, one for each bedroom, the shed, you get the idea. In the past I spent this much on just a case to house a computer I built just for gaming back in 2015. Heck I spent 400+ on just a GPU.

This is a great little PC, and it really fills a niche like no other product on the market. Being able to have a powerful PC in your pocket (or bag or whatever) is great, and I can run it in a window on my MacBook (with an HDMI to USB-C converter, like the Genki ShadowCast), giving me the utility of two computers with the footprint of - basically - one. However. I thought mine didn’t work at first, but it turns out that it will only work with the PSU it comes with, as it doesn’t support USB-PD; instead, it requires 12v to be delivered over USB-C without negotiation - something no normal USB-C PSU is going to do. So that all but rules out using this with existing power supplies, forcing you to carry two (you can’t use theirs for anything else for the same reason - it will cook anything else you connect it to). There is an option I’m looking into (USB-C PD “triggers” that you can put between a real USB-C PSU and this thing, and use to tell your PSU to output 12v) that will be a bit messy and a bit “enthusiast-level” / hacky, but it should work. Meantime, I’m lugging two PSUs around and being careful which one I use.

The media could not be loaded.  The GMK Mini Windows PC has a pocketable and sleek metal design. It arrives ready to use and could be connected to any monitor or TV with an HDMI port or wirelessly with a smart TV or display.The compact design makes it a travel PC and it could be stashed out of sight.The mini PC has only a couple of USB 3 ports, but since it has WiFi and Bluetooth, many devices could be connected while those two USB port are still available for other tasks. I was able to connected a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse and Bluetooth headphones. It could also connect to a smart TV or display without the need of a HDMI cable.There is a comboThere is a micro-SD, which could be very handy by adding more storage capacity.The GMK Mini PC has a SATA SSD that can boot in 16 seconds, and if that is too long for you, it could boot in just 12 seconds by changing 'Fast Boot' to enable in the BIOS.In case more storage is needed, the M.2 SATA SSD is upgradeable, with a compatible 2242 size.The GMK Mini PC with the quad core Intel J4125 can handle many tasks, such as word processing, online browsing, video streaming, video conferencing (Skype, Zoom, etc..) just as good as more powerful and expensive devices can.Just for kicks, I ran Cinebench 20 and got 495 pts...that is just a bit lower than a 5th generation Intel Core i5. It got 1285 pts in Cinebench r23 and 434 single-core /1355 multi-core in Geekbench.The cooper heatsink and fan work really well to keep the system cool, even when the system is 100% loaded, the CPU temperature never went above 67°C, even on a 28°C room (83°F).TPM is disabled by default, so if you want to install Windows 11, get into the BIOS, on the 'Platform Trust Technology' (PTT) under the 'Advanced' tab, toggle 'fTPM to 'Enabled'I did not like that the fan start and stop often, even at idle, which could be annoying if the mini PC is nearby. I was looking at the temperatures and the fan could start at 53°C as well as 60°C and it could run for just 3 seconds.I tried to change some options in the BIOS and could not figure out what triggers the fan to turn on.The USB C charging port is proprietary and it works only with the included 12 volt USB C adapter. That is a shame.A standard USB C port would have allowed the GMK Mini Windows PC to charge with any USB C adapter that could deliver 12 volts or more. Now I have to carry another charger and make sure I don't leave it behind.Overall the GMK Mini PC is and excellent portable an inexpensive Windows PC (and Linux).Very good built quality in and out, but the choice of a proprietary USB C port baffles me.

I bought this as a small PC for my entertainment center about 2 weeks ago. I was really impressed with it's speedy handling of Windows. However I noticed while running apps that the fan seemed to run almost constantly. I've since been monitoring the CPU temp and it swings from 60C to 95C regularly and twice I have caught it at 105C which is the top end for the J4125. I wasn't even running resource intensive apps. I'm worried that with it running at those high end temps so consistently it's only a matter of time before it fails.I'm going to try to replace the thermal paste and see if that helps because I'm really impressed with it otherwise. It's adorable and full of potential! Here's hoping!

I replaced my work desktop with this little PC. It has worked flawlessly! I don't do anything crazy intensive on it, but it is great for a daily work machine. Bonus is that most people can't even find my PC because it is so tiny. It is still hard to believe a good functioning PC lives in this tiny little box!

Excellent little computer! Works great, but needs to be used in air-conditioning otherwise the system crashes from overheating.........
