Review: Excellent Nugget - It's been exactly 1 year since I received and started using this PC. It's currently unavailable to purchase, but in the event it's ever available again or you come across one on the secondhand market, I thought I'd leave a review and talk about my experience with it. This little nugget (which I will refer to hereafter as "the Cube," though no it's not exactly a cube if you want to get pedantic about it) has been in use almost daily, and I've got a lot of positive things to say about it. I'm going to put a little bit of technical stuff in this review, but if just you want the simple version: I wish I'd bought three of these. I want one in every room. Especially considering its size and power consumption, it's a surprisingly capable computer. For the price, it was an absolute steal. My lil Cube is connected to the TV in my bedroom. I wanted a device for streaming video and music, but with a complete desktop operating system and web browser for watching content without ads. The Intel N97 processor, 12G of RAM, and 256G SSD are more than competent enough for basic desktop applications. For bonus points, this N97 supports hardware-accelerated decoding of basically every video codec in use on the modern web, so it has no trouble playing content from YouTube, Twitch, etc. It's fully capable of 4K output at 60 Hz/FPS, but the desktop experience in Windows 11 was ever-so-slightly smoother for me at 1080p. Not much of an issue, since the difference in image quality on a 55" display from across the room is negligible, but maybe worth considering if you plan to use this in a more "traditional" desktop configuration. Out of the box, Windows 11 was installed and fully licensed. For the price I paid, I was a little concerned about the validity of the product key, but I never had any activation issues or trouble receiving updates. At the time of this writing, my Cube is running Fedora Linux 44 KDE Plasma Edition. I won't turn this into a diatribe about Windows, but my experience with desktop Linux on this PC has been about as good as one could hope for. With the manual installation of a few packages from the RPMFusion repos, the integrated graphics (and specifically hardware decoding) are working flawlessly even at 4K60. I ultimately had to replace the internal WLAN adapter after switching to Fedora—the stock CDW-C9821CE-00 card is based on the Realtek RTL8821CE, a chipset with known Linux driver issues. That said, I was able to find a compatible Intel AX210-based M.2 card for a mere $20, and this little computer was surprisingly simple to disassemble. GMKtec are probably not expecting the "average user" to be replacing internal parts or installing a different OS on this thing, so I really appreciate how easy they made it to open the case for repairs or upgrades. As for the thermals? I've never had any reason to investigate them. While in use, the case is only slightly warm to the touch, and I don't think I've ever heard the internal fan once. Even up close it's completely silent, so it won't be a nuisance sitting on your desk or tucked away in your home theater cabinet. I don't have any grand conclusion here. I just wish I had bought several of these while they were available. Over the past year, I've encountered several scenarios and projects where one of these liltte N97 cubes would have been the perfect device to use. It's so small and silent it's hard to believe how smoothly it runs a full x86_64 desktop environment. I'd get another one in a heartbeat!
Review: Windows TV Box - Didn't waste time setting it up since it is Windows 11. Took a while but finally had all the updates installed. The first test was 4k video on YouTube - no issues. Network speed on fiber was almost 400mbs. The green color plastic case is nice, and wife thinks it's cute. Pretty snappy for what it is - paid $137 and it is well worth it. Basically, as much as a Raspberry Pi but $37 dollars more for memory and a hard drive. Loaded some GIS software to test performance and didn't see any issues there either. Loaded a fancontrol program for more refined control. Will test more but am very satisfied👍 FEW DAYS LATER I bought this little PC ($135) for streaming TV and web browsing from a hotel. In the past I purchased a travel router and a streaming TV dongle, and it worked OK. This G3 is substantially better, is a great deal with all the hardware and Windows 11. The TVs picture is substantially better than the Chromecast while running the same YouTube TV app on the same TV. There were a number of settings I had to figure out but it's well worth it. First I like using a Bluetooth mouse with Windows accessibility virtual keyboard. The fan was a little loud but go to GetFanControl and read what their software does. The bios is very functional also with many settings but didn't change any yet. Had to change settings on my Samsung TV for the way the TV monitors USB connections. Turned it all off to work properly. It's a PC so it has all the same issues - updates, power settings, etc. but WOW! Connect to TV, log into Wi-Fi and you're up and running. Purchased an air mouse with keyboard and track pad but a regular mouse works well and less complicated. I didn't know my TV could look this good. You will need to figure out how to use the power button to hibernate and turn on. Once I turn it on I have to move the mouse to get a picture but as I mentioned - ITS A NICE NUC👍 for a TV streaming and web browsing from a hotel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Started out great, really impressive, then it died, but customer support was excellent
*by C***R on January 6, 2024*

For the first 24 hours, I was really impressed. Really snappy performance, 8 GB of RAM was plenty for simple tasks, and the SSD was capacious at 256 GB, considering the price. The inclusion of Windows Pro made the box almost free! However, after updating to Windows 11 Build 22H3, during the process of applying updates, the computer locked up. After 60 minutes with the computer no longer visible on the network and the keyboard and mouse non-responsive, pulled the power cord. Upon restoring power and turning on the computer, the PC was stuck for hours at the spinning circle during boot. Two more power-cycles and Windows repair interface appeared. Selected Windows Reset, Local Source (wouldn't work with cloud source), Windows began resetting. However, after a restart, computer back to the infinitely spinning circle. :-( If this had proved reliable, I'd have bought a dozen or more as remote monitoring PCs for client networks. But given that I've had good luck with the similarly priced AWOW models, I will not be investing any more money or time in the GMKTek offerings. Update 01-07-2024 ----------------------- Fortunately, GMKTek provides a download for a Windows 11 re-installation ISO. With this and leveraging a fair amount of knowledge of Windows installation options, was able to re-image the SSD. Unfortunately, the product key is invalidated and I had to use a spare Windows 10 product key to re-activate Windows. Unfortunate the GMKTek hasn't worked out the same relationship with Microsoft that Dell has, whereby any Windows 11 ISO used to load Windows onto a Dell OptiPlex results in an automatically activated Windows 11 installation. Bottom line is that after recreating and updating all apsects of the re-installed Windows 11 OS, the PC is back to running normally. I know to steer clear now of some driver updates. The PC has been running for about 36 hours and I'll post an update if that changes in the near future. When this PC works, it represents a great value for the money in terms of hardware specs and a Windows 11 license. However, taking into account the time issue remediation takes and the expertise required, the TCO (total cost of ownership) rises significantly. If I never have to do brain surgery on this device again, I'll still feel the cost was justified based on the performance of this sub-$200 device. P.S. I now make a complete image backup before running/installing ANY updates so I can simply restore the image backup rather than running into yet another Windows 11 re-installation process and the requirement to use/purchase another Windows product key. P.P.S. The WIndows 11 re-installation ISO download was 11 GB and was not a standard Windows 11 installation ISO. This had to be burned to a flash drive (I used a 16 GB USB3 model; I used Rufus to create the bootable UEFI flash drive) and then the GMKTek PC booted with it. Upon boot, I was faced with a terminal window and a couple of choices. The one I chose led to an image/sysprep process that fortunately got the PC bootable once again with Windows 11 Pro. P.P.P.S. Highly recommended --> As soon as you boot the device for the first time, find a tool such as ProduKey by NirSoft and extract and save the Windows 11 product key. Ideally (although I didn't have a chance to test), this key would work if a re-install was ever required. The other option, that I was waiting for until the PC was fully updated, is to create an image backup using any number of tools, including the image backup tool in Windows. Thus, if any of your update processes results in a non-bootable PC, you can simply re-image from the backup and avoid having a non-activated instance of Windows 11. Update 01-12-2024 ----------------------- Vendor reached out proactively and offered some assistance, although I'd resolved the corrupt Windows 11 issue independently. However, that level of customer support is remarkable considering the price of this product and the lack of such support from other vendors with much pricier offerings. Due to this, upgrading the rating to four stars. Update 01-13-2024 ----------------------- Customer support proactively reached out and provided a product key so I could activate Windows 11 and free up my personal product key. GMKtec's proactive reaching out to a customer with issues is almost unparalleled in my experience over 40 years, so despite the issues I encountered, I'm raising my review to five stars. For a product this inexpensive but with excellent performance, providing this level of customer support is laudable.
