EVO-X1

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

Recently picked up a GMKtec Evo X1 after tons of research. Can say it's great: stable and very little bloatware, none really just uninstalled a few Windows Store apps that I didn't need. I don't know the cycle of these mini PCs, but so far so good with brand.

From the shops customer feedback & experience out of the Strix Point mPCs Acemagic F3A Beelink SER9 GMKtec EVO-X1 Minisforum X1 Pro ... the most customer satisfaction came from Beelink & GMKtec. To my knowledge, the owners both F3A & X1 Pro minis stated they planned returns once they left the shop,

Indeed, price wise the GT37 is super attractive, the GMKrec Evo-X1 with the same motherboard and same AMD HX370 is 200$ more expenssive. I think Aoostar are terrible for promoting their products, Aoostar have the best 780M mini PC model with the GEM 10 7840HS and excepted on this sub the GEM10 is un

The Minisforum AI X1 Pro has the advantage of supporting up to 128GB (2x64GB) DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM for LLM AI, while having significantly crippled iGPU performance compared to 256-bit 7500MT/s LPDDR5x. The AooStar GT37 is a Tianbei cost-cutting build of the base model GMKtec EVO-X1 with 32GB of LPDD

With Minisforum's CS reputation & recent posts like this one earlier, the GMKtec EVO-X1 64GB may possibly be the better choice among the Strix Point mPC options. Unfortunately, neither inherently support 4x displays. The single fan cooled/non-ventilated Geekom A8 Max is relatively quiet while suppor

GMKtec have a sale on just now. I just ordered the EVO-X1 AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370. The reviews for this little box are excellent. They ship to the UK from Germany so about a 6 day delivery timescale. https://de.gmktec.com/en/products/gmktec-evo-x1-amd-ryzen%E2%84%A2-ai-9-hx-370?spm=..product_4d8ac9d0

That's a good question. It's my understanding from a colleague that this is no more than a clone of the EVO-X1 as stated earlier, components sourced by second & third tier suppliers, hence the delayed delivery compared to AooStar/Tianbei competitors. As for your concerns https://youtu.be/K-3YWOmQ9-s

I have GMKteks AD-GP1 as well and it works perfectly on the Evo-X1 on Oculink. But the USB4 connection doesn’t work though, I think because it’s fried now on the miniPC lol

Oddly enough, the only Strix Point AI 300 mPC I physically have in front of me was a Minisforum AI X1 Pro. Ironically, the customer had pre-ordered first a AooStar GEM10 370 (GT37) which was cancelled & a Geekom A9 Max which was cancelled. She ended up returning the AI X1 Pro, now having a EVO-X1 64
