5.0 out of 5 stars Works Flawlessly with Kodi

I am very pleased with this tiny powerhouse. I have purchased a ton of mini pc for 2 main reasons and this has stomped the competition in regards to performance and stability.My main purpose was to setup a Debian minimal standalone kodi box to run as a Kodi media center. And this performs beautifully no lag whatsoever. So if your looking for a solid performance mini pc look no further I only have one con and as a dedicated media center it does not have onboard HDMI-CEC CONTROL. However I knew that before my purchase so no fault of manufacture so I’m using usb flirt adapter so I can scroll media and navigate with my tv remote. I’m running debian 12.04 minimal setup without a desktop environment I have it setup from power on to Kodi screen and this is exreamly fast from bios post to Kodi. It’s faster than an actual android Kodi box. Now with all that said GMKTEK kudos for this baby power house. I can not speak for windows performance and stability because I don’t use windows. I would definitely recommend for a Linux box hands down.Boot live Linux and wipe windows partitions and format drive to ext4Boot Debian 12.04 Bookworm minimal install main system when tasksel loads uncheck gnome and desktop environment after rebootSwitch to root by issuing su - not su root. Then give your user sudo rights. By installing sudo from repository by issuing apt update then apt install sudo. Now that sudo is installed. You can add your user to sudo group by issuing usermod -aG sudo kodi now kodi is my user I created during install so if your user is not Kodi change accordingly.Next we install some basic software needed to run Kodi. From this point you can switch back to your user in my case by issuing su Kodi. Now to install the final software. sudo apt install xorg-xserver xinit dbus kodi kodi-repository-kodi -y. Wait for packages to install. Once installed we need one more command to give us the ability to use mouse and keyboard in our Kodi environment. So issue sudo usermod -aG input kodi. Remember if your user is not kodi change kodi to your user. At this point Kodi is ready to load so simply issue kodi and kodi will start. If you want kodi to auto start on boot there is a bit more work but it is quite easy to setup. There are many ways of doing this some more complex then others due to security but if your not worried about security and just want simple then it’s as easy as setting up a crontab -e and adding @reboot kodi-standalone however if you want full use of reboot or shutdown from Kodi you need to auto boot with root instead of your user. Again easy to accomplish by editing getty@.service google for how to do that it involves changing one line of code and once your happy with your setup make sure to create a backup or full image I recommend rdrive image paid version or free rescuezill gui version of clonezilla. Enjoy

Bought this to use as work at home computer for my wife. Didn't expect much from this little computer. Was I wrong! It's running 2x27 inch monitors, no problem. Working with wifi connection and the blue tooth works fine! She uses it 8 hours a day. Comes with windows 11 pro...very easy to set up.Amazing operation for a tiny computer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice computer, but I don't really stress it ever.

Hard to believe this little thing, at the price available, is such a good computer! I've installed this as my home theater computer, use it for streaming EVERYTHING! Doesn't skip a beat. Great picture (which, I know, is also attributable to the TV). Fast, quiet (virtually mute).

5.0 out of 5 stars This is small form-factor computing done right.

The Intel N97 Mini PC by GMKtek is a powerful little Windows workstation that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. See photo next to Rubix cube for reference, it's TINY. I tested it as a Windows workstation first and found it to be highly capable for day-to-day computing - content creation, web browsing, a bit of light gaming. It comes loaded with Windows 11, Microsoft Office, and CoPilot - everything you need to be off to the races. But what really sets it apart to me is the power in small form-factor - this is now my goto Raspberry Pi alternative for home automation and open source projects. Proxmox, Plex, AdGuard Home, Docker, Home Assistant - no sweat! My home Lab has to pass the wife test so no rack servers, noisy fans, or heat. It has to be small and quiet, and the N97 fits the bill.Love:- The power and capabilities for the small size.- Oh did I mention, it's a great price too!- Plenty of RAM and SSD storage- Dual HDMINot dealbreakers, but room to improve:- No USB C ports for peripherals. The only one is designated for the power supply. Come on fellas give me a USB C on the front and one on the back.- It's not fanless. The fan is quiet, but when I stress tested it, the fan does become audible. Honestly not an issue if it's in an enclosure (even a media cabinet), but be aware it has potential to be noticeable in quiet environments.Final verdict - great for day to day, fantastic for home projects.

Compact, Quiet, and Perfect for TV Use!

I’ve been using the GMKtec Mini PC with my wall-mounted TV, and it’s been fantastic. It’s fast and handles web browsing, streaming, and multitasking effortlessly. A pleasant surprise was that the pre-installed Windows 11 Pro didn’t require a Microsoft account during setup, which made getting started incredibly easy.The PC runs quietly, which is great for a living room setup, and its performance has been smooth for everyday tasks and light gaming. While it’s not designed for heavy gaming or video editing, it’s perfect for streaming and general use. Overall, it’s a reliable and efficient mini PC that works wonderfully as a media hub!
