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 hightier 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.
