So I went to the Gmktec website and the "bigger brother" to this unit K8, and buyer beware!! The upgraded version has 5 star reviews(on purpose so they will be posted) talking about problems with over heating/ stopped working etc. The M7 has nothing like that, and tons of great reviews all over the internet. And lastly , if you plan on using Oculink and a eGPU, save the extra $125 you would of spent on the K8 and put it towards eGPU instead. Because their will be little to no difference noticed when using eGPU. The K8 is a slight improvement, but at what cost? I was shocked when I read the reviews on the K8 vs. M7 Pro . Just my thoughts, great vid , subscribed!
Interesting points raised - can say we encounted no heating issues with the M7 Pro at all, and Oculink is a real winning element with these mini PC's. Whilst we haven't tested the K8, an eGPU with the M7 Pro is a really great way to spend the extra money vs the K8 and an eGPU - but it would come down to buyers preference I suppose. Great stuff on noticing the heating issues with the K8 however, always good to get more info on anything before buying, so at least people might be aware of it now, and thank you for the kind words and sub, greatly appreciated!
Much appreciated for the kind words! Intended to have FPS running on the gameplay but we completely forgot! We'll be adding stats to the written article, but didn't suffer with any heating issues in use. When we get our hands on an eGPU we'll be doing another update based on using an external GPU with the Oculink connection.
aliexpress has the bigger brother of this pc the k8 plus for $386 barebones.... i just bought it 2 days ago from amazon with 32gb +1tb for $400 (with coupon and credit card application)...so far i'm liking it but the bluetooth connection tends to act up.... as far as this video....Protip....you don't need a 30 sec. intro...might want to consider 5 seconds or less if you want more views...also, it would be helpful to show the resolution and framerates you were playing those games on. showing the settings doesn't help much if we don't know the resolution and framerates they are running in....speaking of the games, you don't need to showcase 2 minutes of gameplay for each game, 10 seconds is plenty. after all, this is supposed to be a pc review not a games showcase.... but i guess you were trying to reach the 10 min mark to get your videos sponsored, in which case i would say showcase more games or windows applications to show the limits of the pc itself since it is a pc review.... p.s. the top is not glass, it's hard plastic.
No pre-determined time on the video, just as long as it was after editing - we was sent the review unit but the video wasn't sponsored. In game FPS settings was definitely an error on our part, didn't even notice until you just mentioned, but we should have had it turned on!
@@podcastvsplayer i know it wasn't sponsored, that was my point. if you want it to be then you should consider cutting the intro time way down as well as the gameplay and fill it with other things that the pc can do if you want to keep viewers engaged.
maybe for a stand alone mini pc, However the M7 have a Oculink so you can run any graphic card you want at full speed, you can build your own egpu instead of paying for a all in one that cost alot more $$$
A review. It isn't a comparison with the M7. Agreed there is minimal difference between the M7 and the M7 Pro, but there's also only around £15/$15 between them for the 32gb+1tb versions, so unless you really want a slightly lower-spec Ryzen 7 processor with slightly lower clock speeds vs Ryzen 9, it's tough to recommend the M7 over the M7 Pro.
The processor is a kind of obsolete, it’s the 6000 series, when AMD is currently launching the 9000 series. Also, for only €70 more Gmktec has the K8 plus, with a more recent AMD processor like the 8845HS. I think is worth it paying that extra money.
100% agree the K8 is the better of the two- however when we were sent the review unit, the K8 plus wasn't released, but for the same 32GB+1TB model it's only £70 difference during the sale, otherwise it's £103.04 more Grabbing it on sale though, would highly recommend the K8 Plus on specs alone though

Great review, if you can add more stats on the games like FPS, Temps, etc would be awesome

The GMKTec K6 is a far better buy, Ryzen 7840hs and up to 64gb DDR5 5600, with M2 Gen 4 Nvme drives x2.

a review or a paid advertisement? both the M7 and the m7 pro are practically the same device with almost equal performance

@@podcastvsplayer Spec are great, but there are very concerning reviews on K8, Gmktec website saying otherwise .
