In this GMKtec K5 Review, we check a powerful Mini PC that uses the Ryzen 7 7735HS processor. As the K5 shares the same CPU as the GMKtec K2, we compare and see what exactly is different.
We run benchmarks, test games, try out emulators, Batocera Linux, and see 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, and would only recommend the barebones version if you have good knowledge regarding computers.

► Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS / 8 Core 16 Thread Base 3.5Ghz Max 4.75Ghz
RAM: 2x16GB DDR5 @ 4800Mhz
GPU: AMD Radeon 680M / 12CUs at up to 2.2GHz
Storage: 1TB NVMe PCIe3x4
OS: Windows 11 Pro 64bit
