This is an amazing little PC that is much more than I expected
Sometimes even a smart TV is not enough – you want to be able to access the internet or share the screen for a particular application. Although I have a desk with a PC in the same room, it is not practical to run a long cable to the TV and the Windows wireless connection just does not work all that well. I did not want anything too big, as I already have enough stuff beside the TV, and I really did not want to pay a lot. This mini-PC popped up on an Amazon suggestion one day a while back and I thought at the time it might be a solution to my problem.
I liked the fact that this PC was small and inexpensive. It had enough RAM and a large enough hard drive. It had multiple HDMI ports and Windows 11 PRO. I admit that I was concerned that the processor might not be sufficient or that there might be problems with the Windows activation, but after putting it through its paces, it turned out that neither concern was warranted.
I was able to set up this little machine in minutes. It took longer to let Windows apply all the latest Windows updates than for the initial machine setup. When it was finally setup, I checked to see that Windows was in fact completely activated.
Despite its size, this little PC feels very snappy. This model is probably not for the hard-core gamer or someone doing higher end video editing, but for users doing internet, email, home/small business apps, streaming, this should be more than adequate. When attached to my 4K TV it looks gorgeous, even when streaming video.
One tip, especially if you have a ROKU (or possibly other TVs), the TV kept trying to go in and out of “game mode” which is supposed to reduce lag on online games. This was not necessary in my case and was extremely irritating. The fix is that “game mode” needs to be disabled in both the ‘Gaming’ section of Windows setup and on the input port of the TV itself (HDMIx). Microsoft and the TV cause this annoyance not the PC.
With a fair amount of RAM and hard drive space, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, even a TF card reader, I really think that this PC should be sufficient for people who want a modern PC with Windows 11 for light duty home or home office computing. Attach a nice wireless keyboard and monitor or just attach it to your TV and you are all set.
Although I bought this just to occasionally have an actual PC attached to my TV, I am pleasantly surprised that it is much more capable than I anticipated. I am glad I decided to give it a go.

Great PC, Great Service!
This PC has exceeded all expectations. I have had it for two days. I can do all the usual tasks that I normally do on my Dell XPS desktop, like email, Zoom and Teams meetings, docs and sheets, with no observable difference in performance. I have not tried (nor will I) my firmware development IDEs or virtual machines, because I doubt the 12G RAM would support those easily. But all in all a great PC. Oh, and it fits in my pocket and cost $160!
However, I do not write reviews. I had to write this one not because the computer is such a stellar value, which it is, but because I have never had such an amazing experience with customer support. When I first got the PC I had an issue activating Windows 11. I went back and forth with the customer service rep about four cycles in that first 24 hours. No matter what the hour of the day, the response to my email showed up within 15 minutes, was polite, personable, and had the exact right next step, until the issue was handled.
This is just a great product from a great company.

Impressive Tiny Desktop PC For Basic Internet Stuff
This little thing can do basic web browsing and watching youtube extremely well. General usage. Don’t expect this thing to run anything more demanding though.
Another good thing is that the wall mount kit not required to remove the PC’s rubber feet off, unlike other products from GMKtec.
Please note that inside the box it comes with the pc unit itself and power supply only. No HDMI cable and no wall mount kit included. I wish the wall mount kit was included as the unit itself is able to use so. As far as I know, there’s no wall mount kit sold separately.
The wall mount in the picture is came with GMKtec K8 that I purchased prior to this one. I didn’t use the wall mount with the K8 because you have to remove the glued- rubber feet.

WOW! Great little computer and extremely helpful support staff!
I canât add much to the many 5-star recommendations about the G5, other than to say it is a wonderful front end to the Plex Media Server I am building, using an Asustor Flashstor 6 NAS. It is fast and very quiet, even under heavy load. What I can offer is my experience with the GMKtec support staff, which was extremely good.
After initializing my G5, updating Windows 11 Pro, and updating the BIOS, I noticed the G5âs settings advised I needed to activate Windows. I tried all the usual fixes, and nothing worked, so I decided to contact the support staff at GMKtec. I had not read many reviews about GMKtec’s customer support, and the website was not especially clear on how to contact them, so was a bit concerned. I soon found I could contact them via e-mail, which I did. I was startled and pleasantly surprised by their quick reply. Only 26 minutes had passed…on Saturday!
I answered some additional questions and provided some screen shots on Sunday. I explained to them how I might actually have caused this problem myself, filing that under true confessions. Shortly thereafter, I received an e-mail with a replacement key code, which I entered, and all was working perfectly again. Try getting that kind of support out of Microsoft!
I highly recommend both the GMKtec G5, their support staff and, especially Julian (the Sales & Customer Support Manager) who assisted me. Julian deserves more than 5 stars. Thank you again!

Love this micro PC
Does it all, small, good looking, and inexpensive.
Urban Knish –
Better than a raspberry pi, but not powerful enough to replace a tower.
If you are a mac or linux power user and need a windows machine for certain tasks, this might be for you.
If you are a student, tinkerer or hobbyist, this might be for you.
If you are thinking of using this for CAD, video or photo editing, move on!
You can do simple to mid-level gaming on it, which is impressive and of course surfing the web.
It’s very small and great on power. For my needs, it’s perfect.

La compré hace 2 meses y no me arrepiento, muy buena opción para el uso que le doy de PC personal. Deje usar la laptop de la oficina para cosas personales. Es muy práctica también por su tamaño y la puedes llevar en tu mochila y no ocupa especio ni la mini Pc ni el cargador, otra cosa nueva para mi fue el windows 11 que antes no lo usaba y que me gustó mucho. No la uso para juegos ni nada que la tenga que poner a prueba su performance del procesador, pero si de algo sirve si abre todas las aplicaciones muy rápido considerando que todo lo acceso al One drive.
