Edit update again 01/10/2025: I fixed my fan issue and as promised raised the score back up to 5 stars. It is a good, fast little computer but does get hot when you are gaming. I recommend popping the top off and exposing the top fan to the outside as this really helps in keeping it cool. When you put the top back on, when your finished, don't snap the top back in place so it will be easy for you to remove when needed. I know this would bother some people but I am not bothered by it as it helps keep it cool. Still five stars for what it can do for it's size. Still highly recommended. Edit up date 01/09/2025: I had to reduce the GMKtec M5 Plus from five stars to three stars because the little top cooling fan will not work all the time. I have the lid on but not snapped in because I have to take it off to force the fan to run. A quick spin with my fingers gets it going but I got to keep an eye on it other wise the little computer will over heat even though it's only fifteen watts. This is serious and the reason for only three stars. I am going to try to contact them and if they help I will improve the review back to five stars. *Next is another concern that has a lot of YouTube press and that is, Mini PC's shipping out with Malware or viruses. Let me make clear that GMKtec has been cleared so far and I tested mine forward and backwards with zero positives but you should be made aware of this. The most offending company (watch YouYube to get the companies name as it is all over) still has not completely cleaned their computers and are being very sneaky in the way they hide the Malware. One buyer replaced his M2 SSD and loaded a fresh copy of Windows 11. If you are one of those people who are sensitive to computer security then you need to know what you are getting into with Mini PC's. I didn't know this before I bought mine. Please check out the problem on YouTube before you buy. If you do buy, do not connect to the net till you have run a complete check. I recommend the very long but important Windows 11, full virus scan and download the free version of Malwear Bytes and run a test with that. I hope Amazon allows this review update to be printed as this is an important issue that everyone should be made aware of before they buy a mini PC. First off, it worked right out the box. Early setup could not have been any easier, a smart 8 year old could have set this mini computer up. That's not stretching it either. However setting up all the drivers from AMD and getting Windows 11 up to date did take time and requires someone a little more knowledgeable. I bought this as a novelty but now using it all the time. My big gaming computer has taken a back seat to this amazing little mini computer. Pros: Very quite, Very fast, Yes it plays games but more on the casual level. Beautiful eye popping monitor visuals, It uses only 15 watts of power. That means it runs very cool. The AMD processor the 5825U is designed to run on 15 watts. Cons: Terrible instructions with tiny print. Example, they send you a piece of black metal with some black screws that looks like it might be some sort of mounting bracket but the instructions give you zero information on what it is for. It uses only 15 watts of power. I know I had that as a pro but it could also be a con if you want to play more powerful AAA games. But who would use a mini computer to play AAA games like Cyber Punk 2077 or Hogwarts. Come on, use common sense. I will end this by saying do your research. Not all mini computers are only fifteen watts like this one. And if you look you will find the newest mini computers are AM5 platform and use up to 70 watts. But those units run from seven hundred and fiftly to almost a thousand dollars. You start spending that much money you might as well buy a full size gaming rig. Highly recommended

The short form: I wanted a small form-factor computer for general work and light-duty gaming. This machine provides it admirably. The longer form: I chose it because it promised a decent level of gaming performance for the one game I play, World of tanks, at a decent frame-rate without its having a to have a noisy, secondary fan to handle the kinds of heating that the additional performance needs. What I have, and what I'm writing this review on, is a machine that handles world of tanks with low medium graphics settings at a frame rate of 40-60 fps with a highish ping which fulfills my basic needs, and it can do more if I turn it's graphics settings to low, at which point its frame rate goes to over a hundred-and-ten fps which works to make up for my senior-citizen reaction speeds. For the general work requirement, it is more than adequate, as in "much more." I can run multiple applications on multiple desktops and stream video (Amazon, Netflix, etc.) with no problems. Although I am transitioning from Mac to Windows in order to use it, I found its set up was a fairly simple process. One very pleasant surprise of the thing is just how quiet it is and competent the thing has been. Right now, I'm running several different, none-too demanding apps, and the fan is barely audible. And, even when I run my gaming app, the top of the box has never gotten more than perceptibly, but not uncomfortably, warm to the touch. The artificial intelligence app built into the operating system is a surprisingly good knowledge-base that greatly extends the power of search engines to answer general knowledge and technical questions. It was particularly useful when the computer started crashing when I played YouTube videos. The suggestions it provided got me back normal function in minutes. Considering how internet integrated modern operating systems are, I think it is imperative that you buy and install antivirus software as your second act with this or any computer. The bottom line I am perfectly happy with this computer. I would like a smidgeon of additional graphics power for gaming, but, considering my needs and the price, and after a month of use, I am very satisfied with my purchas, and I would definitely recommend it to someone like a college student or a light-duty gamer who was willing to trade a small amount of graphics power for noise-heat-and-hassle-free operation.

This mini computer works pretty good. It's fast, quiet, and gets it done. I do wish it had at least one more USB, but that's not a deal breaker. I originally had problems with the Windows KEY not working. I went to GMKtec website which does not have a phone number, and I ended up e-mailing them. They were very responsive in the e-mail and they ended up reconciling the situation in a very professional manner. The computer is a pretty good deal. I just had a slightly rough start to liking it because of the KEY issue. But all it good now.. Good purchase.

Adorei, muito bom...

Approx 2 weeks after buying this computer Win 11 Pro stopped working and I was going to return it for a refund but decided to try it with Linux Mint. It performed flawlessly and because of that I decided to keep it. I have not been disappointed with it other than not been able to access some of my Windows apps. I reached out to GMKTec through Amazon and explained what had happened. Their rep, Julian contacted me very quickly, sent me detailed instructions on how to download the appropriate Win 11 Pro ISO and how to install it. I am happy to say I now have Win 11 Pro working again and couldn't be happier with my purchase. The M5-Plus is very quiet, runs most of my games, Fallout 4, Going Medieval, Hogwarts Legacy, EVE etc plus 3D software I use for 3D printing. As I spend a lot of time streaming YouTube/Prime videos this little computer is a perfect fit for me. Besides being quiet it also runs really cool even if left on for long periods of time. I would have no problems recommending it to anyone looking for a mini-PC to do similar things to what I use it for.

Eve kendi IT laboratuvarımı kurmak için aldım. Desktop alacak olsaydım yine bunu düşünmeden alırdım. Sessiz , stabil ve kaynak donanımlarına göre fiyatı bedava.

for a mini pc, this was in my budget. i didnt want to spend over 3k aed. this pc with ryzen 7 8845 hs is the perfect device with superb power and zero noise. it has very good internal components like 2 m2 slots, 2 ram slots, 2 lan ports, occulink port etc. these are all too much helpful. internal gpu is ok for simple regular gaming with mid level graphics on hogwarts legacy and rtx off. i do miss some RGB lights, if there was an option to add or buy.

Excelente producto trabaja a la perfección
