EVO-X1

After some trials and tribulations I went with the GMKtec K8 Plus. It was the only one with OCuLink with a decent reputation on the forum at the time. Currently TB5 (Intel/Apple) and USB4v2 (open source) are rarely supported on mobile devices. Apple for example has TB5 but no PCIe support for graphi

Aoostar GT37 has oculink and soldered 8000MT/s RAM Honerable mention to the GMKtec Evo X-1 with 7500MT/s RAM The Minisforum X1 Pro has upgradeable RAM and would be a better general all round mini pc to connect to an eGPU. Beelink's GTi13 Ultra and GTi14 Ultra are still competitive with good CPU sing

The EVO-X1 doesn't advertise the 8000MT/s "gimmick", although u/RobloxFanEdit provide evidence & use experience on his GhostKeyboard Review channel The GEM10 370 / GT37 is no more than a EVO-X1 clone in a Gzosmeta custom case. As for LPDDR5x vs DDR5 SODIMM found in the X1 Pro, when ServeTheHome comp

If I might make a small suggestion. Look into the GMKTec EVO X1. It's got the AMD 370 HX apu with the 870m igpu. The gpu is NOWHERE near as powerful as the 8060s, BUT the model comes with a built in oculink port, its bios works perfectly with dGpu setups and it also an extremely capable unit. Iirc t

Tarkov is a bit of a demanding game, but it would be possible to play it on high settings on a mini-PC as long as you get the right one. Long story short, here is what I recommend:GMKtec EVO-X2 $1600 USDhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F53QXNGH?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_1FMCJ2FQBXR27ZQ63BP2That recommendation is h

A few things. The M6 Ultra has pretty good graphics with its 760M but can be limited by GMKtec's choice of 4800MHz RAM installed. The 16GB version with 1Rx16 8GB sticks can be another reduction in performance as the data throughput further limits graphics bandwidth. You didn't indicate if it was 32G

There's simply no magic to how Apple achieves the silence the Mac Mini has provided. It's simple physics. Induction & exhaust of air flow is on the bottom. As-long-as the CPU can sustain a balanced heat dissipation (TDP), it all comes down to "elegance of design". This is why Apple abandoned Intel w

If you do go with the GMKtec EVO-X1 with the Radeon 890M, you could always get an external GPU Oculink and keep using your RX 9070 XT when you need the extra horse power. This would keep you well under your $2000 budget and give you more flexibility. The downside is, these mini-PCs have soldered RAM

I second the comment above me, if you don't plan on using this as a gaming handheld. It's worth noting that it's not good to have this plugged in all the time. This operates on battery basis and requires charging and discharging. If this doesn't happen you can run into one of two scenarios, your bat
