Channel: Team Pandory

The GMKtec M5 uses the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor.  It can handle games, run emulation up to PS3, and doesn't cost as much as you'd think!  This is a GREAT choice for a mid-tier mini pc. ►Amazon: https://amzn.to/3tvxyxJ  - This Mini PC can be found both directly from GMKTek, AliExpress and from Amazon (more links below).
Windows 11 Pro is installed, and in our review, we run benchmarks, test games, try many emulated systems, and also install POP!_OS Linux.
