I've had a Intel NUC with a Core i5 for a little over 6 years but it was starting to show it's age a bit. One of the ram slots died, it would not boot if I had any ram installed in the second slot. The CPU fan was also wearing out; 3rd party options that I tried were less than stellar. So after dealing with those issues for a little over a year, I decided it was time for a replacement. It was a good pc but it's time had come.Wanted to stay with a small form-factor pc for various reasons. After checking out other options that are available, I settled on this NucBox K6 from GMKtec. It has a Ryzen 7 7840HS cpu, 32 GB of DDR5 ram and 1 TB NVME drive. I added a spare 1TB NVME drive I had to double my storage as well. Small footprint, supports 3 monitors, option to upgrade/replace components as needed with 2 user-serviceable slots for both m.2 drives ram. It's also fairly easy to take it completely apart for cleaning the CPU fan. The auxiliary case fan is a standard 40mm x 10mm pc fan; that will be simple to replace when/if the fan dies. Ticks all the boxes for me.After working with this for over a month, I've had no issues. There was no extra bloatware installed out of the box that I could find. Windows 11 has been running just fine with updates on. I do a little bit of everything with this computer: I've ripped several hundred DVDs and Blurays (with an external Bluray drive and MakeMKV) re-coding said rips with Handbrake for our media server. Some video editing with CapCut. Some light gaming. FreeCAD for designs for my 3d printer. Photoshop. Inkscape. This computer runs circles around my old IntelNUC.All that said, one thing I don't like about this computer is that there is only one USB C port on the front. The USB C port is what is used for the 3rd monitor hookup. I did not want a cable sticking out of the front for this, so I took it upon myself to address this issue. I designed a new top to replace the top from the factory. It houses a short USB C extension cable with a panel mount jack for ease of installation in the new upper housing. Works great. I can have everything plugged in to the back with minimal excess on the front. The extension plug is also loose enough in the new extended lid to unplug and move aside if I need to plug something in to the USB C port without having to take the new housing apart. I didn't print it with the best settings and it wound up being a little bit taller than I'd like but works for my needs now.I saw another review complaining that the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H is not running at the speed listed. The listing on Amazon states 4.7ghz, and his is showing it running at 3.2ghz. The speed listed on the Amazon listing is the turbo speed. If you check AMDs website on the CPU you'll see it's normal speed listed at 3.2ghz and it turbos up to 4.2ghz. This CPU is running at spec per AMDs webpage. That is not the CPU that came with mine but I wanted to share that info to avoid confusion. The CPU in mine runs to AMDs specs with no issue.Very happy with my purchase, I hope to get many years of use out of this.

Excellent little guy!!! After having to return an earlier version of the mini pc due to networking issues, I contacted the company to ask if they had any pc’s outfitted with Intel network cards. They swiftly responded and pointed to this model which I ordered forthwith.Quiet, small and unobtrusive, it runs my firewall and wireless quickly and with no drops in connectivity.If you should have need of an AMD Ryzen box with dual Intel LAN cards onboard, I would recommend you take a look at this one.Maybe not the cheapest, but the company’s responsive support is worth an awful lot when it comes to where you spend your hard-earned cash and the value that you get.

This is a great mini PC for the price. By itself it can be used as a small but powerful office or development machine, or even for light gaming. However, when you throw in an eGPU it readily opens up alerting you to do much heavier lifts, like video editing or regular gaming.The only I don't give it 5 stars is that despite it having a USB 4 port, I was unable to use my Razer Core X with the device. Nothing I could do wroth get it detected. I reached out to support abs they were very helpful. I exchanged emails with Julian, who was very knowledgeable and walked me through several rounds of trouble shooting. In the end we determined something about the Razer Core X and the USB4 implementation on this device is incompatible.I was able to get my hands on a different eGPU - and AD-GP1. This eGPU worked perfectly. It was simply plug and play since the AMD drivers were already installed.
