A lot of us would probably love to have a suped-up, ginormous, $5,000 gaming PC, but the reason we don’t have one is obvious. They’re big and expensive. But also, in many cases, unnecessary. Seeing your games with crazy RTX lighting in 8K resolution at ten million frames per second isn’t going to make you happy (plus, the human eye can only see up to five million frames per second—that’s just science). Really, you can get a capable rig on the cheap and it doesn’t even have to take up much space. This GMKtec M5 Ultra Gaming Mini PC could be just for you. Right now, it’s even on sale for $100 off. The 20% markdown takes the mini gaming PC from $500 to just $400 for a limited time.
Under the tiny hood, this GMKtec gaming PC is working with a AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. It’s capable of boosting up to 4.50GHz in performance mode and is about a 35% performance increase over the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U. The integrated AMD Radeon Graphics 8 Cores 2000 MHz GPU can deliver solid graphics when gaming.
The mini PC is packed with 16GB of RAM, but that can be expanded to up to 64GB. It’s working with 512GB of storage on its PCIe SSD , but that can also be expanded to up to 4TB. There is also a second SSD slot, so you can max out at 8TB.
A big selling point is that the mini PC is, well, mini! The GMKtec M5 Ultra Gaming Mini PC takes up hardly any room on your desk, and can even be mounted behind one of your monitors so it takes up zero room on your desk.
Multiple Displays
Out of the box, you can connect to more than one display at once with this GMKtec mini PC. Specifically, you can be displayed on three different screens at once. Connect over the HDMI output, DisplayPort output, or use the USB-C port. Each of which are capable of up to 4K resolution at 60Hz.
Additional ports include two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports on the front with two USB 2.0 ports on the back. There are two connections for Ethernet which is capable of fast network access of up to 2.5Gbps each. The front is also kitted out with my dearly, beloved, AUX headphone jack. You can pry my wired headphones from my cold, dead, elder millennial hands.
The mini PC has Wi-F 6E built-in, support fast internet connection with low latency. The Bluetooth 5.2 support allows you to connect to multiple peripherals and accessories including a mouse, keyboard, or pair of wireless headphones (yuck).
