Another mini PC to take into account that we found on AliExpress, the GMKtec M2. It arrives in the usual format, with a small metal case measuring only 114*106*42.5 mm.
A mini PC powered by a powerful Intel Core i7-11390H processor that will give us very good performance in all programs and in multitasking. Thanks to its fast processors and its Intel Xe GPU with 96 EU it allows us to run many games in 720p resolution. We will highlight its Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, its 2.5G network port and its triple 4K video output.
A mini PC that doesn’t shine especially in terms of connectors, but its price, only $240 in its barebone version, is really cheap.
