GMKtec released the EVO-X1 Pro mini PC to bring high-end desktop performance to a compact form factor. This launch matters because it packs a powerful Ryzen AI processor and 64GB of memory into a small chassis, offering a viable alternative to traditional desktop towers for users who need serious computing power but have limited desk space. The device targets gamers and creators who require strong integrated graphics and fast storage without the bulk of a full-size case.
Compact desktop features 64GB RAM and 16TB storage capacity
The system is built around the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor, which pairs with the Radeon 890M integrated GPU. GMKtec equipped the machine with 64GB of LPDDR5 RAM to ensure smooth multitasking and application performance. This configuration allows the mini PC to handle demanding workloads while maintaining a small physical footprint that fits easily on a desk or shelf.
