Review on 💻 Mini PC NUC Box S (New Version) Intel J4125 2.7Ghz 8GB DDR4/256GB SSD, GMK Mini Computer HDMI 4K@30Hz, 2.4/5G Wi-Fi, BT 5.1 by Tray Smith

The GMK Windows Mini PC is pocket-friendly and has a slim metal housing. It is ready to use out of the box and can be connected to any monitor or TV with an HDMI port or wirelessly to a smart TV or display. The compact design makes it a travel PC and it can be stored out of sight. multiple USB 3 ports, but since it has WiFi and Bluetooth, many devices can be connected while those two USB ports are still available for other tasks. I was able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, as well as Bluetooth headphones. It can also be connected to a smart TV or display without an HDMI cable. There is a combined module. There is a micro SD memory card that can be very handy by adding more storage space. The GMK Mini PC features a SATA SSD that runs in 16 seconds, and if that's too long for you, it can boot up in as little as 12 seconds by enabling "Fast Boot" in the BIOS. compatible size 2242. GMK Mini PC with Intel J4125 quad-core processor can perform many tasks such as word processing, Internet surfing, video streaming, video conferencing (Skype, Zoom, etc.), as well as more powerful and expensive devices. Out of curiosity, I ran Cinebench 20 and got 495 points. That's slightly less than the 5th Gen Intel Core i5. It scored 1285 in Cinebench r23 and 434 single-core / 1355 multi-core in Geekbench. The copper heatsink and fan cool the system really well, even when the system is 100% loaded, the CPU temperature never exceeded 67°C, even in a 28°C (83°F) room. TPM is disabled by default, so if you want to install Windows 11, enter the BIOS on "Platform Trust Technologies" (PTT) in the "Advanced" section. ', set fTPM to Enabled. What I didn't like is that the fan turns on and off frequently even in standby mode, which can be annoying when a mini PC is nearby. I looked at the temperature and the fan was able to start at both 53C and 60C and only run for 3 seconds. I tried changing some settings in the BIOS but couldn't figure out what is driving the fan. incl. The USB-C charging port is proprietary and only works with the included USB-C to 12V adapter. Too bad. A standard USB-C port would allow the GMK Mini Windows PC to be charged from any USB-C adapter that could supply 12 volts or more. Now I have to take another charger with me and make sure I don't leave it behind. All in all, the GMK Mini PC is a great portable, inexpensive Windows (and Linux) PC. Very good build quality inside and out, but choosing a proprietary USB-C connector confuses me.
