To eliminate the double audio next time One thing you can do is just pair a set of Bluetooth earbuds to the PC that way you can monitor the audio in real time and it eliminates that echo that would be picked up by the microphone. It also bypasses listening through what's being recorded through OBS or anything along those lines which may add some lag or delay to it. That's what I do when I capture, I pair my raycons to my Samsung monitor and I listen to the audio through that

[@jonyak1221]

These mini PC's are awesome, I'm running the um690 and so far it's been good. Been playing totk on it without any problems

[@tonyah.960]

Thank you for the excellent show today John Riggs!

[@collectibles4u]

I just purchased the K2 7735HS 16/1TB

[@KesMonkey]

"most people are getting" Source of this info? It's ranked as the 360th best selling mini PC on Amazon. This entire video is an ad.

[@Puckanm]

WELL NO SHIT! almost like hes being paid to review it huh. 🤣🤣🤣

[@tonyah.960]

LOL!

[@Windavinci]

If you're right then its disappointing that he didn't clearly state it at the start of the video

[@JohnRiggs]

I didn't get paid for it, but they did send me one to cover on this channel like they did all the other channels.

[@JohnRiggs]

@@Windavinci not paid or I'd have to have the 'paid promotion' tag

[@Cyrus_Nagisa]

I have my eyes set on one of these, but I plan on getting one with a Ryzen chip in it, those have much better GPUs in them.

[@roguedr0id]

Look at Beelink. Mine's running AMD Ryzen 7 with AMD 8 core graphics. Zero complaints.

[@michaeldemers2716]

I really recommend the Rapoo K2800 or the Rapoo 8050GT over at Ali-Express. Great Keyboards.

[@Studiotek]

I would say most people are getting either a BeeLink or a MinisForum. At work, I order BeeLink all the time. I've replaced about 1/3rd of all the computers here with them.

[@danalabomme968]

Exactly JR I need one to…

[@austinramsey92]

I would recommend the BeeLink SER5 with the Ryzen 7 5800h. It the same price, but the CPU is more powerful.

[@JoeCannon1982]

I bought this PC(NUK1) this past February because the KZbinr ETA prime said it was a good PC and Amazon had it on sale almost $100 off at the time

[@jeremygreen2883]

I once saw a guy wearing JNCO jeans and he put not one, but two SNESes in his back pockets. It was beautiful.

[@slerched]

I went with a GEEKOM IT12. Pretty happy. After I bought it, of course I saw the Minisforum UM790 Pro which offers a fast AMD processor... with actual AMD Radeon 780M graphics (supposedly gets you close to NVIDIA GTX1650 level, which is better than built in Intel options in these size systems) for about the same price. Depending on the Steam games you want to play, you'd probably get better graphics. Next upgrade, I will be more discerning and get something w/ best built in GPU option available.

[@bigjohn75]

Man this little thing would be perfect for a little camper. I know we get out into the woods to scape the modern rat race but I still like having the modern amenities.

[@MrMegaManFan]

No John, how are YOU feeling? Saw your tweet the other day and I hope things have gotten better for you since then.

[@Spllyn]

Great video as always Riggs!

[@ronaldhofman1726]

Did this also , midi tower 60 watts , mini pc , 22 watts , 1/3 , saves money on electtric bill , have Asus PN50 and Gigabyte brix pro

[@ModwalletOFFICIAL]

I see what you got there 6:33

[@kylef.3554]

I liked your Q/A panel in Utah! It was fun! but it was also funny, they didn't have a windows laptop you could use to do your hacking stuff

[@JohnRiggs]

They did say they'd provide a laptop, but didn't tell me it was Linux which wasn't equipped for my USB drive thingy. Next time I can just bring this.

[@SpaceLordof75]

I’m loving my GMKtec Ryzen 7940HS I bought a month ago. I can play Baldur’s Gate 3 with everything cranked to the max, and the system barely breaks a sweat.

[@hollllllllz]

Highly doubt it

[@GenerationPixel]

I have to dual wield a mouse at work on a regular basis, and I often jump to the wrong mouse, I felt your pain in that moment 7:24 😂

[@Metal-Josh]

“Shatterhand 2”. That’s what PrisonCity looks like to me

[@ByteMeCompletely]

I bought the much cheaper, and less powerful, NUC G3 and coupled it with a 6-bay DAS to create an awesome NAS.

[@33yoal]

My 3 cents: Firstly, I'm a linux enthusiast. Nothing brings me more joy that taking a new or old computer; laptop, desktop, mini pc, and wiping winblows out and in about 15 minutes, putting a robust, non telemetry, open source o/s on. I just purchased one of the new GMK tec g3. Installation went good except for a few things. No sound thru hdmi, and no wireless. They wanted me to download drivers thru their chinese website, so basically, it's being sent back. For all of you who choose to purchase this brand, please be advised. It is preinstalled with a modified version of win. 11. Buyer beware, not for me, thank you....

[@ByteMeCompletely]

I too bought a g3. My luck was better than yours, I installed debian12. No bluetooth, solved with firmware-realtek. Now it's an awesome NAS. I always got sound.

[@HisVirusness]

If you're not going to do a custom build, I could see the appeal for a mini PC for gaming. I just have my doubts about how far you could take it beyond emulators and games up to 2010.

[@IFartOnMyNutz69]

Maybe not on this one, but on some of the more powerful ones, you can play new games on lower settings 1080p or 720p. You can also play them on 4K, but your fps will drop low. If you're serious about gaming and want a small footprint, you can always get an external graphics card and hook it up to this

[@IFartOnMyNutz69]

This one only has DDR4. The minisforum um790 pro is the one to get

[@ByteMeCompletely]

@@IFartOnMyNutz69 Or just buy a ps5.

[@thetechn1que518]

OBS is fairly light and I haven’t had too many problems gaming and streaming at the same time. I’m using an old 2015 laptop and mostly only play old console game on emulators. Generally if a game won’t run well with OBS running it won’t run well at all either way. I’ve only run into a few arcade games that are right on the edge where they are fairly playable until OBS is running. If you’re seeing that problem consistently, it maybe some other issue in your setup.

[@kimmartis317]

Nice hat!😊

[@clintonlewis1261]

Really cool!

[@usmanchughtai1751]

I am just hyped as all hell for the upcoming Atari

[@jeremygreen2883]

Ohhh... I could play MMO Warframe on Steam with my Retro Fighters Defender controller... on my coffee table.

[@ByteMeCompletely]

GMKtec M3 $500.

[@SansWasTheHero]

Seems like a cool budget/portable pc. On the site it shows it running overwatch. So I'm sure it'll probably struggle on new games but a sub $400 pc being able to run much of anything recent is impressive.

[@Enchurito]

It's lying

[@mistercutright]

Do they come loaded with games?

[@helmutstransky3761]

if they make little rtx cards that fit in, i ´ll get one!

[@nivaldowesley666]

i will work for free for anyone who give me one that thing...👀

[@100Bucks]

Gotta laugh at this comment. Just work and get it 😅 Never work for free. Every minute lost you will never gain back and you only live once. Your time is valuable.

[@nivaldowesley666]

@@100Bucks thanks, but it is not a thing i can affort, is beyond my profts.

[@100Bucks]

@@nivaldowesley666 You also have credit as an option. I personally use capital one. Just buy the PC with the credit card and pay it back in $25 dollar monthly payment. Everything is easier with credit. Don't bother if you don't have the job to pay $25 a month.

[@christopherreed3836]

If you work for someone who will give this to you then you arent working for free.

[@nivaldowesley666]

@@christopherreed3836 yes, i think the same...

[@jonathansifleet83]

Would these work with an external gpu?

The mini PC is cool and all, but now I just want to know where to get a brick of cheese that big.

[@galadriusthemighty]

Interesting. So much nice tech for a small device. Take that, Apple!

[@dans9644]

This does the same as the xtube console

[@roberthornibrook6344]

As long as it can play BG3 at 60 frames and in 8k I'm down. /s

[@bryanjensen2614]

I'd put Linux on it and rock it as an Emu box over Windows.

[@thetechn1que518]

Windows is great for emulators though. The Retroarch devs themselves said they prioritize Windows, Android, and Linux in that order (with everything else being far less of a priority). And Windows still has more stand-alone emulators than any other OS.

[@bryanjensen2614]

@@thetechn1que518 I don't touch Windows with a 10 foot pole.

[@JeremyPeeples]

Haven't seen much on the GMKTec stuff - but GEEKOM stuff is getting rave reviews.

[@Enchurito]

This this would be fine for 2d games, or 3d games from the early 2000's. But it's gonna run like garbage for new 3d games. This this is an office work computer, nothing more. Do not buy this expecting today's games to run well.
