GMKtec reputable brand? Help

I also have no problems with the K8 Plus or K11. I also have a GMKtec M5 Plus, and I'm very satisfied with all the models I have. The design of the K8 Plus and K11 is particularly good, with excellent access to the CPU cooler, and they also ensure good ventilation.

DDR4 RAM - are there better barebones options than the AMD 5825u based MiniPCs?

Thanks for confirming what I already suspected. I was really happy with my Gmktec M5 Plus. I'm using it in an arcade with two monitors - a traditional display port monitor and a USB powered monitor running with HDMI for video. I was powering it from a USB A port on the Gmktec but one day swapped it

Need second thoughts on GMKtec Nucbox M5 Plus for software development.

For Linux software development, the Barceló Zen 3 5825U is definitely well established, while finding very few complaints pertaining to the NucBox M5 Plus.

What do u guys think about the Gmktec m5 plus

I have one, you can see my experience here. After fixing the issues, for regular office use is more than most people need really. For gaming is fine, although I don't use it for that. I did checkout GTA 5 for benchmarking, I could get 30 FPS with no tinkering, on Youtube one can find 60 fps examples
