In this GMKtec K9 Review, we check a powerful Mini PC that uses the Intel Ultra 5 125H processor, and is the first Mini PC from GMKtec that has uses Intel's AI Boost NPU. It can handle high-tier emulation, quite affordable, but can it run games?
In this review, we run benchmarks, test games, try out emulators, Ubuntu Linux, Batocera Linux, and then check out what's under the hood.

This Mini PC can be found both directly from GMKTek, AliExpress and from Amazon (links below).
The reviewed unit is the 1TB 32GB model.
All models outside BAREBONES have Windows 11 pre-installed.
