The Evo-X1 is ready for pre-order now. GMKtec first hinted at it last October, planning for a launch by the end of November. Yet, the original schedule didn’t quite work out, but this mini PC is still one of the first to include the Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 processor.
Pricing and Discounts
This new Zen 5 mini PC starts at $920 with a pre-order discount, rising to $970. To take advantage of these lower prices, you must enter the coupon code EVOX1EB30 at checkout. It's not clear how long this coupon will be valid, and GMKtec hasn’t announced when the regular sale will kick off.
Unique Features
One major plus for the GMK Evo-X1 is its OCuLink port, which isn’t found on other models like the Minisforum EliteMini AI370 or Beelink SER9. This makes the Evo-X1 a better choice for those interested in setting up an eGPU.
Gaming Performance
Thanks to its Radeon 890M integrated GPU, this mini PC can run most AAA games smoothly at good graphics settings. Therefore, you won’t necessarily need an eGPU unless you're aiming to play on a display with a resolution higher than 1080p (the Acer Nitro KG241Y is currently $94.99 on Amazon).
In addition to the OCuLink port, the GMK Evo-X1 has USB4, dual Ethernet ports, one HDMI 2.1, one DisplayPort 2.1, and four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. For wireless options, this Zen 5 mini PC supports Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6. Other notable features are a TDP of up to 65W, two M.2 slots that support storage up to 4TB, and a stylish design.
