EVO-X2

GMKTEC Evo X2, Apple Mac Studio, Dell Pro Max with Nvidia GB10. Lots of them will take 128GB too even if they come with less, but you'll be paying an arm and leg for it.

This is a problem with Geekom since the first of the year. I know more than one person who was surprised to drop like $1400 on a A9 Max HX 370 only to find a single 32GB stick. He purchased it with the intent of upgradable RAM but wasn't expecting an immediate upgrade. Adding the missing/matching st

I had 2 gmktec Evo x2 this year. Well after 1 month I realized there was no good model to run on them. But now there's Deepseek v4 flash which I'd choose as daily driver.

I also have a negative experience with preorders so I would

GMKTec Evo X2, I've had issues with usb randomly dropping. Didn't really bother me that much, until recently when I added a usb4 nvme. Get some warning of random write fails/recoveries because I have it holding my RAG. 5.5 said cable, but it happened once every few hours with my phone tethered all t

They've got a couple of 64GB EVO-X2s up at the college where the only problem is certain LLM experiments. If you're getting it for gaming and sharing 16GB+ for the graphics you'll be fine.

Their download stuff is poorly organised but it's here: https://www.gmktec.com/pages/drivers-and-software?spm=..product_ba613c14-a120-431b-af10-c5c5ca575d55.header_1.1 It's whichever one of the first four Evo-X2 links on that page that applies to the model variant you have. It doesn't specifically say

Oh, I forgot to mention. If you have any important data, back it up first. The GMKtec installation image will completely reformat and re-image your drive with no warning and no questions asked. Ask me how I know... :(

GMKtec Evo-X2 at 64gb if they're still around. Heard there was a price hike coming though. :( $1500 last year, ~$2k last I saw this year.
