The GMKtec Neo X1 is a 14.6-liter small form factor PC that bridges the gap between mini PCs and traditional desktop towers. It utilizes a high-end mobile processor, specifically the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D in the Pro model, mounted directly to a custom desktop motherboard. This design allows for a compact footprint while maintaining user-replaceable RAM and storage, as well as a full-sized dedicated graphics card. The system is cooled by an integrated all-in-one liquid cooler and powered by an internal 850W 80-plus gold power supply. In testing, the Neo X1 Pro demonstrated strong performance, achieving a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 40,292 and maintaining stable temperatures under load. The unit includes modern connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and 2.5GbE Ethernet. While the system offers significant performance in a small package, its pricing is premium compared to standard pre-built desktop PCs with similar specifications, reflecting the cost of its specialized form factor and cooling solution.
