EVO-T1

GMKtec is in the Top 3 Brands amongs Minisforum and Beelink. (Chinese Brand) GMKtec is on the rise and is a serious competitor to become in a very near future the Top Chinese Mini PC Brand, their ambition to become the major actor in the Mini PC market can be seen in their latest and upcoming models

Check out the GMKtec EVO-T1, picked one up a few months back and have been really liking it, Intel 285H, 64Gb RAM, dual nics, 3 nvme drive bays, and no issue with the different cores playing funny. I’ve also got the Geekom A8 which has the 8945HS chip in which is 8c/16t but this is currently just be

With 30 layers you need a high end device, Intel chips will give you more performances for editing, the cheaper option would be the GMKtec K10 with the 13900HK or you could go for the Evo-T1 with the 285H if you have the budget for it and want top performances.

Strix Halo is just that, a halo product, it's built completely differently and it's designed to go after the Mac Studio type mini-PCs. Whereas an AMD Phoenix or Strix Point mini-PC would only take a crack at the base model Mac Mini. You shared a mini PC running on Krackan Point - it's in between Pho

Best Mini PC for gaming are either Mini PC's with mobile dgpu like Minisforum HX99G/HX100G/G7PT/G7TI, GMKtec EVO-X2, FEVM FN60G, TopTon I9 14900F RTX 4070, Acemagic Tank 03, ASUS ROG NUC 14,15 The other option which is my favorite are Mini PC's with Oculink port for Desktop GPU upgrade, like GMKtec

GPU is where the most Gaming performance is made, Mobile GPU are nowhere near Desktop GPU Performances, in other words you will have better Gaming Performances at a lower cost with a Mini PC + Desktop GPU via NVME M2 or Oculink than a Rog Nuc with a Mobile GPU. CPU is important too, but actual 65 Wa

Had not run into the Evo-T1. That said it looks like the final vesion has no PCIE 5.0, 3x NVMe 4.0 and an occulink aint shabby, but a hair short. Also looks like they went with H series Core 200, not V for the final design. Which actually I prefer but so close. I'd rate this on par with the near mis

GMKtec EVO-T1 is the latest GMKtec High-end model released, with the most powerful Intel mobile processor: The Ultra 9 285H. I expect this model to outperform the EVO-X1 with the AMD HX370. but it is not looking like a small Mini PC (1.7 Liter) The EVO-T1 claims to run Deepseek R1 32B locally at 15

Take a look at mini pcs. Small and quiet. RAM and storage can be upgraded on most. I have always built my own PC's but recently bought a GMKTec EVO-T1 and it's been good for what I want it for, which is similar to your use case except I am doing some local AI stuff.

I completely see what you are saying, but sadly, the Ryzen 9 was not enough on Balanced. At all. The single thread performance of the processor gen used by the EVO-T1 (Intel Ultra 9 285 H) is higher than that of the GMKTecK11 (Ryzen 9 8945 HS) according to PassMark CPU Mark: 5092 vs 4738. That is wh
