   I only needed a PC for my kitchen table, since my older one ran soon-to-be-unsupported Windows 10 and wasn't upgradeable to Windows 11. I'm wary of Chinese factory Windows installations, so I installed the Microsoft version using the media creation tool. There was no problem re-activating Windows 11 (Pro, if that matters) and driver installation was moderately painless. This PC is only used for web browsing and super light gaming, and it performs those tasks wonderfully. I get great download/upload speeds using the Wifi 6E band (see image), which was a nice addition to this little box. The GMKTEC PC comes with a VESA mount, so I have attached it to the back of my monitor, so even though this PC has a super small footprint, more room is always better.
   
   Fan noise under load is noticeable, but there's no whining or unusual sounds coming from the fan. I did remove the 512 GB SSD that came with this PC and replaced it with a 2 TB Samsung 990 Pro. I put the GMKTEC SSD in an external enclosure to use for backups. I had a notion to upgrade the memory in this PC, but so far the 16 GB (2 8 GB DIMMS) is sufficient for my needs.
   
   So, AT THIS TIME, I would give this PC five stars and feel I received value for the price paid. If anything unusual arises with this PC, I'll come back to amend this review.
   
   For right now, though--highly recommended.
