As of today (2025-01-10) the GMKtec Gaming M7 Pro - geni.us/LKKdae (Amazon affiliate link) is my current computer and I LOVE it! - Here is my review for that: ruclips.net/video/KojykDHqT-w/видео.html
PLEASE, are these mini PC's capable of streaming 4K movies from them to the TV without any problems? From a Plex multimedia server and the movies copies onto the m.2 of the mini pc.
Vey helpful, thank you! I'm more familiar with owning a gaming laptop and building onto it but I'm looking for a pc for a family member and didnt even consider these as an option :)
Random question for UK based techies (London especially). Where do you go to physically buy things like motherboards, chips, graphic cards, RAM or anything to do with laptops and desktops.
Hello! Which one of these Mini PCs would you recommend for a Game Dev? We aren't trying to create high graphical games. Maybe something between NES - PS2 era graphics.
What would you recommend for someone who runs a marketing agency. Anywhere from 3-7 tabs open at any time, some canva work, lots of zoom calls and live streaming etc.
What’s best for music production? I use Protools and Cubase usually 5-6 tracks… Mini Mac m4???……mini pc like dell or hp? Prefer to avoid China even though apple assembles there…. Thanks
Get the nucbox G2, not the G3 or G5. It has an display-port which is always superior to hdmi and in your case will carry the audio. Also the G2 is better than the other two as it uses both ddr5 and wifi6. The price varies but the base version G2 is currently on sale for $128. Your monitor needs to have a dp of course 🙂
I have a KinHank MP100 Mini PC (designed for retro gaming). It works with an older Samsung monitor, which has only an HDMI port, no Display Port. I can hear the sounds on it loud and clear. Actually very loud! :)
@@buenogoodliveyou sounds like the guy who would uninstall his windows os to download an os that has less compatible programs, less games, more problems to solve that need googling and pasting random line of codes (like that the os does not recognize the graphic card) to be ultimately able to change the color of the file folders
This aged like milk and in way too short of a time. Basically all of the brands you mentioned are notoriously infected with malware. Im disappointed that it's not even covered in the video, I feel like that's definitely a topic you should have touched upon.
I check EVERY computer I get for malware before I do anything with it and I have yet to come across a single mini PC with malware on it. I suspect I know what you are referring to though. There was a video about a batch of Ace Magician mini pcs with malware on it. If you know another instance of that happening I would love to know so I can look into it more. Thanks.
Malware is a thing of the past unless you are downloading and executing scripts on your PC. Windows installs what is arguably malware from it's core repositories, always run a debloat tool. EG LeDragoX for win 10, Raphire for Win 11
I am looking for a mini pc that’s mainly for gaming but my computer runs on 144hz and has 32GB of ram so it’s usually fine in most games but in games like beaming drive or gorilla tag on steam vr I need that extra tiny FPS boost. Does anyone know any good mini pc’s for this?
I just bought 2 NUC 12 Serpent Canyons. They were the very best mini PC available 2 years ago and are being discounted now for $488. I know that NUC's last for years from personal experience and I am set for the rest of my time, I'm 73.
Hey, I'm currently in the market for a mini-PC to run a nextcloud-server on. Are there any recommendations you might have for my usecase? (Preferably one thats under 300€?) Hope you have a great week =)
Can you know anything about the fy3 mini PC by funyet? I'm looking at that and thinking about buying that one but I can't find a proper review? Do you know anything about that one?
@@GoTechGeek 🤔 I've had currently the chuwi larkbox from back 2016 (I got that in 2019 I believe) and ITS been a good mini PC cube 😜 hopefully this one is just as good?
Sadly, you didn't raise one of the Key Aspects in prospective purchases from different companies: the Warranty. The Beelink is a prime example: when 'getting down in the weeds' of the Amazon Prime Star system, the Comments from 1 Star and 2 Star Verified Purchasers indicated that IF something goes wrong with the hardware past the 30 Day Return, you are REQUIRED to ship the unit BACK TO the P.R.C. (China). The shipping costs can ADD up rapidly, making the 'affordable' Beelink systems very UNAFFORDABLE. There are SEVERAL 'no name' systems from the P.R.C., which match the Beelink problem: NO USA Service Centers for repair/replacement. YT Reviewers are KEEN on reviewing the Hardware, but as we all know, hardware can FAIL, and that is the moment where the 'rubber meets the road', cost wise. Please take the time to review the Warranty Requirements from several companies, so that your viewers can make informed decisions. Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY

It’s like $695 at that price wouldn’t it be better to just buy a lap top?
saw the 15 mini pc's and decided this would be the first video i would watch for mini pc's.
You sir earned a subscribe. I’m in the market for a mini pc and needed a quick explanation to know what to look for.
Thanks bro 🙂 I didn't even know they had many PCs until I checked on Amazon today for a computer

and in the end, just a bunch of products, no real, specific advise, marketing disguised as review
"also I haven't actually used any of these machines" *facepalm*
What about the malware scandal surrounding ace magic, now ace magician?.

My rocking with the Lenovo thinkcentre! It gets the job done
Yes fantastic but you still need to carry extra power brick lol
What do you think for making cómic and videos edition
It appears, from reviews, that the GMKtec Mini PC N100 does not carry audio through the HDMI connection. Are there any mini-PCs you know of that do?

Just bought a TopGro K2 today, getting it next Monday.
Ace magic with pre installed malware 😢

They all come with pre-installed malware: Windows 11

Mini pcs are not for gaming..
@ ok but does it still work?
@@yousefabujubara4246you can use them for gaming.
So you want a modest configuration for a mini pc?
Great video!

Hope you have a great week =)
Do you guys think that these mini pieces would be able to handle running five monitors?
It depends on the amount of ports on yhe back but I think most support 2-4
If you can afford 5 monitors you can afford a real pc
most of the links you provided are on amazon and no longer exist or they are not currently available with no info if they will ever be again???
Thanks for your comment. I tried to update the links where I can.
may i ask which one supports HDCP 2.2? seems it is required for Netflix and some other platform streaming... otherwise no 4k uhd.
may I buy a windows 11 on usb to repair my windows 10 on HP DEsktop?
I need a mini pc that I can use for streaming movies, iptv gaming and retro games. That's upgradable. Dolby vision and dolby atmos

Have not tried one but I looked it up on Amazon. Great price for what you get! Not fast but would work as a basic PC for browsing or consuming media.

Thank you
Great video.
Im looking for a mini pc that can handle coding...which one would you really recommend?
mac mini m4 base model
Is ace magic really good
some reported to have malware.
What is the best one for AutoCAD use?
I got the Trigkey S5, very happy with it, runs solidworks great way faster than my old desktop.
Recommendations without even having it in hand?!?
Oh wait…you have affiliate links though… 🤔 😂😂😂😂
I feel like I should wait a few months more, maybe we‘ll get some snapdragon mini pcs.
The best is the miniest
what's the point of hoarding?
Fake recommendations he has affiliate links and gets payed a % for every mini pc we buy
Yeah ..this guy it is likely a scammer
