Cool little computer!
This is a great little computer. Its about as basic as it gets, but that's what I was in the market for. As I age, I've found I barely even use a computer at home for personal stuff at all any more. I have a work laptop that docks to a couple monitors for work from home stuff. I have an extensive steam game library from the old days, but i just don't really have a place in my life for gaming anymore, and i have a Nintendo switch for what little gaming i do. So, I sold my personal laptop and old gaming PC and replaced it with this... Its attached to the back of one of my work monitors, and runs 24/7 as a plex server and network storage computer. I can switch the monitor over to it if i want to, but i will probably just remote into it from my phone for most quick media and file management tasks. It serves up full 4k over wifi no problem. During setup and configuration, it seemed speedy, and responsive enough, and would probably be just fine for a daily use computer for just about everything. It came with Windows 11 pro pre-installed with no bloatware, and setup was super easy. I'm honestly amazed what you can get for so little money, and in a package not much bigger than a deck of cards. I heavily considered getting a 'better' mini PC with better graphics, more RAM, etc... but i tried to be honest with myself on my use case, and this is probably better, as it is so efficient for 24/7 mini-server type use. At some point i may try running some basic 3d modeling software of it, as this is about the most demanding thing i can think of that i may still want to do in my personal life, but bottom line, this is a lot of computer for a little money and no space at all. Pretty cool. Note that i was considering using it with my USB-C laptop dock to switch in and out with my work laptop,and the user manual confirmed that the usb-c port is only for power, and its not a thunderbolt port, so that wouldnt work. If you want USB4/thunderbolt, you may need to upgrade a bit more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even decent for lite gaming
Size: 8GB+256GB I 10110UVerified PurchaseI'm honestly quite shocked at the value this thing has packed into it.
I originally wanted to just convert this into a Linux-only machine and set up emulation there but I quickly found that there were some issues with display and processing. What I thought was going to be a fairly light load, turned out to be more than it could handle. It was not even running a sega Genesis game well. I also found that there's something with the display/graphics that I couldn't even get dual screens to work in Ubuntu Linux. Nor could I send audio out via HDMI. GMKTec had a build of Ubuntu but when I tried to install it, the computer did not seem to like it. I never was able to get their build of Ubuntu working. I feel like their build could have solved some of the Linux issues. I don't think it was inherently that the machine couldn't handle the graphics processing.
So after wiping the machine a few times through trial and error I was able to get both Linux and Windows installed and either selectable during the boot menu. Having reinstalled Windows again I needed to download the drivers from GMKTec's website and run the install script. This was necessarily to ensure that the graphics and sound worked properly. This time attempting to run emulation (on windows) I was been pleasantly surprised. This machine, currently being under $200, has been able to handle a wide variety of retro gaming from original NES to Wii U. The Wii and Wii U emulation has some stuttering during assets loading or busy environments, but when the games are running things are generally smooth and appropriately 30 or 60 fps. Switching to Steam, I was able to run Ori and the will of the wisps, but only after turning down the graphic settings to Low.
Running normal day to day web browsing works fine and it has a great amount of storage 1TB. This is a perfect day to day machine for probably 70-80% of users. This is also a perfect solution for travel or hooking up to a TV where the small form factor is preferred over a big tower or laptop. I think for more serious PC gamers this is not going to be enough processing power to run any powerful modern games. For the price, this is also a perfect machine to try out configurations that might break your normal computer, like trying to install multiple OS's and accidentally wiping the machine. For me this is going to be a perfect machine for learning different technologies on where I don't want to clutter my main machine.
What's crazy is that a machine like this would have been completely sufficient to do all of my college homework on, though I think a laptop is better for that job (especially taking notes).
PC's have come extremely far since the late 90s and early 00s. From that perspective it is mind blowing what this thing can do. From the perspective of today, this is adequate to handle almost any task, but intensive gaming, number crunching, video editing, or 3d rendering this is probably going to fall short. That being said the price to value ratio is still extremely high.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small, yet efficient and capable!
Size: G3S 8GB+256GBVerified PurchaseThis is a great mini-PC. Was looking for a low powered chip to run some older games and emulation, which this does great! The N95 chip performs well. It ran Half Life 2, Portal 2, and emulated titles at 60fps. Even a newer title like Rocket League, around 40fps. For basic tasks such as browsing the web and light tasks, it is more than powerful. It is practically silent and very light. Could be great for traveling if paired with a portable monitor. Good build quality. Found my WiFi network immediately. Setup took less than 10 minutes on Windows 11. Definitely enjoy it!The media could not be loaded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little PC
Size: 8GB+256GB I 10110UVerified PurchaseWas worried about whether this PC could manage what I was looking for and so far it's passed with flying colors. When you think about it our phones are pretty damned good computers and this unit is no exception. If you need something to do heavy graphics or games forget it. I use mine as a Plex server and general Web interface without any problems. The issues with noise that I read on other reviews is simply nonsense. There is some, but it certainly is not distracting in any way. For the price, you can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact Yet Capable: A Great Mini PC for Everyday Use
Verified PurchaseI purchased the Nucbox G2Plus Intel N150 Mini PC after a great six-month good experience with the GMKtec Mini PC (12th Gen Intel N97) — and I’m happy to say the Nucbox G2Plus has exceeded my expectations.The media could not be loaded.
It’s impressively quiet, compact, and fast, making it ideal for a tidy, minimalist desk setup. Despite its small size, it's surprisingly powerful, handling multiple open applications effortlessly. The 512GB local storage is more than enough for my personal needs, and its overall performance is smooth and reliable.
One of the things I love most is its portability. I primarily bought it for personal use, but it’s easy to carry around and set up anywhere, as long as I have access to a monitor. It also works seamlessly with my KVM switch, which is a big plus for anyone who uses multiple systems.
A thoughtful touch is the spare blue top case — a small detail that adds customization and value.
Overall, a fantastic mini PC that delivers great performance in a compact form

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little employee, office or receptionist computer
Verified PurchasePurchased this for our front end computer to utilize mainly light web browsing and Microsoft Office.
I couldn't figure out how it was so cheap by retail comparisons. But I did find that it is using a Windows 7 OS key which has been upgraded to Windows 11. Not theoretically a problem unless maybe you ever have to potentially perform a factory reset. It does allow saving you money that way so not complaining.
Can't hear it at all, is very responsive to mouse and keyboard (wireless). And that is good because I also mounted it to the back of the monitor to keep it safe and off the desk.
So if you're looking for a great little and inexpensive office type computer, grab this one up.
