GMKtec was founded on June 6, 2019, as Shenzhen GMK Technology Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen, China. The founding team comprises professionals with over 20 years of experience in consumer electronics, product design, manufacturing, and brand development.

The company’s first major international release was the NucBox KB1, which launched via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2020. This marked GMKtec’s entry into the global mini PC market. Since then, the company has expanded its reach through Amazon, regional distributors, and proprietary online stores.1

According to GMKtec, the brand name is derived from three concepts:

• G – Geek
• M – Modern
• K – Kreativ (intentionally spelled with a “K”)

The company states that the numeral “1” embedded within the “M” logo symbolises its ambition to be the leading brand in its field, while the green colour scheme represents energy-efficient computing.2

GMKtec primarily designs and sells the following products:

• Mini desktop computers
• AI-focused mini PCs
• Business PCs
• Home entertainment PCs
• Industrial and edge computing systems
• External GPU (eGPU) solutions
• Computer accessories and peripherals

Its hardware is built around processors from both AMD and Intel, with a recent emphasis on AI-capable components featuring NPUs (Neural Processing Units).

GMKtec organises its product line into several distinct series.

G Series

Entry-level mini PCs designed for home use, office work, media streaming, digital signage, and lightweight computing tasks.

M Series

Mid-range systems intended for productivity, office applications, Adobe Photoshop, CAD software, and multitasking.

K Series

High-performance mini PCs targeting software development, video editing, 3D rendering, gaming, and professional workstation use.

EVO Series

The EVO series serves as GMKtec’s flagship AI computing lineup. Built around the latest AMD Ryzen AI and Intel Core Ultra processors, these systems are designed for local AI inference, large language models (LLMs), AI development, edge AI computing, and content creation. Recent models include the EVO-X1, EVO-X2, EVO-X3, EVO-T1, and EVO-T2. According to GMKtec, certain EVO systems can run very large AI models locally, functioning as compact AI workstations.3

eGPU Series

This series comprises external GPU docks that allow compatible mini PCs and laptops to connect to desktop graphics cards for AAA gaming, AI acceleration, rendering, and other GPU-intensive workloads.

GMKtec products commonly feature AMD Ryzen and Intel Core processors, DDR4 or DDR5 memory, PCIe NVMe SSD storage, USB4, OCuLink, Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, and multiple monitor outputs. Selected models also support Thunderbolt connectivity.

Higher-end configurations often support up to 96–128 GB of RAM, multiple NVMe SSDs, dual or quad display output, and high-speed networking.

Beginning around 2025, GMKtec shifted significant attention towards AI desktop computing. The company markets its EVO lineup as compact “desktop AI supercomputers”, emphasising local AI model execution, privacy-focused offline AI, developer workflows, edge AI deployments, and GPU/NPU acceleration. It has also announced collaborations involving AMD’s ROCm ecosystem to support local AI development.4

GMKtec states that it sells products in over 70 countries and maintains distributors in more than 35 countries. Distribution channels include Amazon, Walmart, Rakuten, AliExpress, and regional online stores. The company also participates in technology exhibitions such as IFA Berlin and GITEX Dubai. GMKtec reports particularly strong growth in North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

GMKtec’s headquarters and manufacturing operations are based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. Its industrial facilities encompass research and development, product testing, manufacturing, warehousing, and global logistics.

GMKtec states that its products comply with several international standards, including CE, FCC, and RoHS. These certifications are intended to facilitate global sales and ensure regulatory compliance.

GMKtec works with technology companies including AMD, Intel, Microsoft, Kingston, ADATA, and Crucial. The company also highlights collaborations within the AI ecosystem, including initiatives related to AMD ROCm.5

GMKtec is widely recognised as one of the prominent Chinese mini PC brands, competing in a market that includes Beelink, Minisforum, and Geekom. Independent reviewers and technology publications have covered many of its products, particularly higher-end Ryzen-based and AI-focused systems. Community discussions frequently cite GMKtec as a strong option in the mini PC segment, although experiences with customer support and long-term reliability vary by user and purchase channel.6

GMKtec states its mission is to provide compact computing, energy-efficient desktops, AI-ready PCs, and high-performance systems for both professionals and consumers. Its long-term vision is to become a globally recognised technology brand originating from China.
