Mini PC w/ Occulink or TB5
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

I'm a believer in eGPUs
Same here, I just recently switched to a mini PC with occulink support and connected my 3080 Ti, and performance was identical or similar to my current PC. And eGPU performance loss was virtually 0 with some games 10% loss. Time spy was around 1000 points lower from the eGPU with 20000 from 21000. M

Best mff/sff pc for portability?
Tbh, most mff and sff cases are highly portable, but if you truly want portable, have you considered a mini pc with a egpu dock? Everything fits in a backpack. I have a mffpc, and I have a mini pc (evo-x2 amd 395 8060s) and I picked up another mini pc, a evo-x1 to pair with oculink dock. With my tra

Geekom Computers PS3 émulation trough batocera
I'm still favoring the GMKtec K8 Plus. I run Batocera OS for classic console emulation which runs the RPCS3 and Xenia emulators to my satisfaction. Besides, it has x4 PCIe OCuLink if I need to take it beyond Steam Machine levels. I had originally looked at Beelink and Geekom but found they cut cost

Why did you buy a minipc?
Like everyone here. It's more about the space. My reasons was mainly due to the size. My tower was really big that at some point I got tired of carrying it around during cleaning sessions. The weight. Also the heat it would produce. During the summer I had to limit how often I used it because my roo

Is there a mini PC that can rival Mac Mini M4 given the same price point?
The shop happens to currently have two customer who own Mac Mini M4 (one 24GB, one 32GB) which also invested in the GMKtec EVO-X1 64GB. Both owners had software & graphics requirements not by the Mac or MacOS. Both have provided unique perspectives. One "kicking & screaming" as they were required to

Mini PC recommendation for development and local AI inference
Chat GPT is out of its mind, seriously switch to Deepseek which is way more accurate on Tech and coding. Chat GPT recommended Mini PC listing for A.I is so random, how could you list a Geekom A6 (6800H) and an Atomman G7 PT in the same listing. For LLM NPU are irrelevant even with the best A.I NPU o

What kind of mini pc to get with egpu
From my personal perspective, the GMKtec NucBox K8 Plus & K11 are on the top of the list, with the K11 having slightly greater processing power. Ryzen 7 8845HS vs Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU Comparison The GMKtec EVO-X1 has significantly more processing power, although slightly outside of your budget. Ryzen

What is best mini PC for gaming w/eGPU support
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
