I installed Windows 10 both to optimize the performance and to ensure there's no hidden back doors. Works a treat. Was 100% fully backwards compatible with no faults or issues. Also added a back-lit bluetooth keyboard. Really neat little system. This is what I call progress.

I'm typing this on this computer. I got it on Amazon after watching this video... I'm still trying to figure out what the catch is. I don't have a high-end tower PC, but I thought it was decent. The fan cranks so loud when I'm playing on Steam even with low graphics settings. Same game, same settings on this mini PC and I can hear the fan, but it's so much quieter. Framerate seems fine, multi-tasking seems fine... Still don't know what the catch is.

I got this exact mini PC last week and set the TDP to 15W in the bios, so far pretty impressed with the performance in "classic" games I'm trying; maxed out settings in Oblivion and it's almost always at 60fps. New Vegas I've only just booted up but it's running well too. Running Morrowind/OpenMW actually doesn't do as well as Oblivion but I've got it near max locked to 30fps which is fine for me. I'll test out FFXIV and Apex Legends next (whenever I upgrade the SSD) but it ran the FFXIV Dawntrail benchmark at "slightly low" which is better than I'd anticipated. Overall very happy with the performance after years of all my computing tasks shared between an iPad pro, a Raspberry Pi 400, or if I had to use an x86 computer dusting off a decade-plus old dual-core laptop.

Would be very interested to see the wi-fi card removed and replaced with a modified sized oculink cardand a small hole cut into the case or something else similar like a drilled out hole and a passthrough cable with the oculink port on the end. Sure that wifi slot might be only 1 or 2 PCI express lanes but it would be enough for a ultra low power GTX 1060 or 1660 or even a RTX 3050 or something from AMD like the RX 580 or something similar as FSR 3 and frame gen xan be useful to all these card's.. it would allow a eGPU. Sure the N97 won't max out these card's but will definitely be way better than the iGPU that is built into the N97 and N100 or N200 CPU's.

I didn't even know GMKTec released this!! I have a NucBox 5 that I use for a x86 development server that's super portable. Unfortunately that only has a N5105 processor and 8GB of memory. Going to have to replace it with this one! Having a cpu with AVX/AVX2 allows more things I need to run, NICE! The extra memory and newer CPU will definitely help me! Thanks for posting this!!!

If this could run OBS Studio to encode my live streams in 1080p 60fps I would be a very happy camper.

I love GMKTec. I have their K1 Nucbox, which is a bit more powerful than this but honestly it can play pretty much everything, even current stuff with a little tweaking. Mine has an AMD 6800H and 32GB ram so it's kind of a little beast but it just lets me know that GMKTec makes good units. This one is tiny but it seems awesome!

Geekbench scores were not all performed on the same version or OS. The N97 stats show that they are for Linux and not Windows. It would be better to have more correct scoring on the same versions and same OS.

I don't know where you got the size as 1.5" x 1.5"; from its spec it's 4.5" x 4.2" x 1.6" (approx), still quite small, but nowhere near as small as you suggest.

Any word on how it would handle imaging online, and/or photoshop and say something like rebelle 7 paint program? Most of my editing software and painting programs and racing Hames all require windows 10 or better now, but I want to keep my old windows 7 / Linux dual boot machine as main computer, but use a new small form factor pc with wi down 11 for the software I mentioned?

I still don't understand why you do tests in games at low settings or 900p, when in such a case the CPU has a greater impact on performance than the GPU, and many games have frame cap anyway (e.g. Skyrim at 60 fps)

No one ever tests Twilight Princess, which I've found often lags on systems shown to run other games well, especially during the fog scene in the woods.

Pretty cool. But does it use a modified windows 11 pro? I bought one of their other offerings and they use windows 11 pro that omits the windows TPM because it lacks the hardware. So an authentic full fat windows 11 can never be installed on it.
