GMKtec Mini PC N150, G3 Plus Intel Twin Lake N150 (3.4GHz), 8GB DDR4 RAM 256GB PCIe M.2 SSD, Desktop Computer 4K Dual HDMI/USB3.2/WiFi 6/BT5.2/2.5G RJ45

My GMKtec arrived on time and booted up into windows 11 pro without any problems. I used 2 monitors to test if it would run both simultaneously. I went to best buy to add a cable to go to my old monitor which did not have the correct connections. They both worked well together.I found one problem after a week or so that I could not solve. The secure boot showing in msinfo was off. I reset the setting in bios (which was off) and rebooted. That did not solve the problem. In addition there was a new driver that was not being identified in device monitor.I emailed GMKtec for help. He emailed the setting for secure boot (which I had already done) and to go to intel's webpage and check for drivers. I found one new video driver. I just downloaded all the drivers and had them reinstalled. That fixed the secure boot problem. In addition the screen was much improved due to the new video driver.I am very satisfied with the product. It is totally quiet. I have played movies on it with no problems. This small box is replacing my 8 year old dell xps that cannot be upgraded to windows 11. I was particularly happy that it was windows 11 pro as that meant you could use vm's thru hyper-V. I installed hyper-v and created 2 different windows 11 vm's. They both worked without slowing the computer. I also wanted something that didn't increase my electric bill. This was barely noticeable. The box is warm to the touch but not hot. I live in AZ and was concerned about heat. So far this has not been a problem.It is ideal for me as a home computer.

I am writing this after using a Mini PC N100 for eight months, and I can report that it has more than met my expectations. Most of the setup was done automatically, but if you want to avoid it, you can start loading your own software before allowing the computer to check for updates. My software consists of a word processor, Skype and Zoom, schematic and PWB editors (I'm a retired engineer), software for controlling radios and lab equipment, and software that helps me manage our home network.There are USB ports on the front and the rear of the enclosure. I have two monitors on my desk, and I used the dual HDMI outputs to spread out projects and avoid having to page in and out of screens I was working with.The troubles came after my wife and I put our house on sale and moved to a smaller home in a retirement facility. In the new setup, audio, streamed or from movies or online conferences, was accompanied by short buzzing sounds at roughly 1-second intervals. I struggled with this for a few days and finally swallowed my pride and filed a trouble report with GMKtec. This where many of the offshore PC manufacturers disappoint their customers. I was in for a pleasant surprise, though, because a reply arrived in less than 24 hours. A lady answered my request for help and promised a referral to a support person. This gentleman offered a list of things to check--several of which I hadn't thought of--and then asked for a recording of the sounds.I provided the recording, and after more discussion, which didn't produce a solution, I was offered the option to replace the computer with a new bare bones unit. Eventually, I chose to remove the memory and SSD and send my unit back to GMKtec. I never got a chance to find out how quickly they would send a new PC N100, because shortly before printing a UPS label, I decided to clean up the area where the computer had been sitting, and I noticed that the power supply was a 19.5 Volt unit. To shorten the story: I had packed things a little too carelessly when we were moving, and I mixed up the power supplies for the computer and another piece of equipment. (The PC N100 uses a 12 Volt supply.) When I connected the correct supply, the PC N100 worked perfectly. No problems from then on. I sent profuse apologies to my contact at GMKtec. Appreciation and best wishes came from his end.So what can I report about the PC N100? I does what I need from a computer. It was easy to set up. And even while it was struggling to overcome my mistake, it ran all of my software perfectly. Factory support? Couldn't be better. Thank you, GMKtec! (Full disclosure: I was not offered any compensation for this report. I've just summarized my experience with the company and one of its products.)

I have various Windows 10 devices that are not upgradeable to Windows 11 so I purchased this with the intention of making this my new anchor Windows PC (I'm primarily a Mac user) and I plan on only using it for basic word processing, web browsing, and activities better suited to the Windows world.This is a preliminary rating as I received this device just yesterday. Packaging was professional and set up/personalization straight forward using a USB wireless Logitech Key/Mouse. Bluetooth setup for my Harman Kardon speaker and other bluetooth devices failed (wouldn't recognize anything discoverable) so I next began the lengthy process of Windows updating (actually still happening) and the bluetooth issue resolved itself somewhere along the way. So, beyond the bluetooth issue, this mini PC has been flawless, speedy, quiet, and has gotten only mildly warm during operation. I ran 5 YouTubes videos simultaneously as a test without issues. The system says it is running Windows 11 Pro, it has 475GB of storage (512 was advertised), 16GB memory, and the N150 chip. I'm on Google Fiber and my speed check was something like 400+ down/300+ up from the opposite side of the house from the router. I have NOT yet checked the other ports (USBs/HDMI/LAN).I'm not a computer geek so I can only share my 'user' experience as I compare this with my other devices (Macs/Chromebooks/Windows) and there have been no discernible performance issues.Wrapping up, so far, and comparing price vs. performance, I am happy with my purchase.
