Thanks for this great video and also for the final song :). I bought it a few days ago and am happy to have confirmation that I have bought a good Mini PC.

It's definitely a solid mini pc. TBH we wanted to say more regarding the video outputs, HDMI 2.1, as it's a rarity with these mini pcs. Unfortunately we didn't have a HDMI 2.1 monitor to try it on Display Port 1.4 gave us 144hz @ UWQHD btw 😁

You say "haitch". Good man. 👍

I was able to pick one up on Amazon for about 400 Euros (including a 100 Euro coupon) with 16 GB RAM (Crucial DDR5 4800 2 x 8 GB). I ran into an issue with VRAM being disabled in the pre-installed W11 Pro build what you also need to check after doing a reset of the PC (did a reset of Windows 11 Pro and still the VRAM was disabled), otherwise a great little Mini-PC. It is also worth mentioning, that Beelink includes the 2nd NVME screw (as seen in the video). The system can also do 8K video out and the USB-C at the back is Video out capable and also can be used to power the system using a 100+ Watt PD charger. The mini PC can drive 3 monitors (the front USB-C port is only for data). You do not need to remove the two screws on the heatsink and Beelink also has even created a video how to open the little Mini-PC 🙂 that can be found here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c4aBzKpyYpTMk8o.htmlsi=Huk5-JSdKI5udO26

Just because it reports as 0, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. As it shares the VRAM with the memory, the way it reports the amount is probably to blame. In this case, the VRAM is more likely set as "auto" in the bios, which lowers/highers the size when needed. To alter, go into the bios, then change the settings from there, not from Windows itself.

Best Mini PC Review Ever.

Unsure, you'd have to give it a go. I personally don't think the infrastructure is there yet regarding AI. Even if the computer had RyzenAI (this one doesn't), it's currently a bit of a mess. - In our GMKtec K8 review, we had a look at running Llama 2. Not going to re-visit that rabbit hole in a long while 😅

@@faizannabi7540 Yes, BIOS updates can be dangerous for ANY computer, but there are a few things we can do to prevent bricking the system. 1. Run the mini pc at DEFAULT settings in bios- turn off any form of overclocking, as this can lead to instability 2. Disable overclocking apps / anti-virus / anything that can get in the way of the flashing in Windows. 3. Use decent memory / NVME storage. Again, having poor memory will cause instability. Then there are the fake spaced NVME drives (usually look like a Samsung, but are 4tb for 50$ or something ridiculous), which may cause a brick due to data corruption. We've updated the bios multiple times now on various GMKTEC boards, and if you follow the above safeguards, it should protect you from it bricking. There is a new update for the K6, we'll see if we can make an easy to follow bios update video soon.

1. Yes, the case is plastic. Is this a problem? 2. It has 1 USB2.0, but these are useful as USB 2 does not need any drivers at all from the OS to run. They keep one for diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Can someone please explain the difference between a mini pc and a normal tower pc? Because from what I understand unless you wanna play hardcore video games a mini pc is already pretty powerful for day to day use to CAD programs.

A mini pc is that, a mini pc. A tiny box with an integrated CPU and graphics, much like a laptop would. Usual drawbacks are GPU performance, thermal issues, or upgradeability. - On a Mini PC you'd be buying it as is, with maybe a chance to use an external GPU if the ports are available. A tower PC (with standard motherboard) will be much easier to repair, cool, and upgrade when needed. However, as they are pretty much custom built, the costs can come out to be much higher than a mini pc. A case and PSU alone already comes to around 200$.
