Summary
- GMK’s EVO-T1 mini PC boasts impressive specs, including an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H CPU and 96GB DDR5 memory.
- Despite being slightly larger than other mini PCs, the EVO-T1 makes up for it with a plethora of ports, including USB4 and 2.5 GbE Ethernet.
- The EVO-T1 also features a local AI processing model, making it stand out as a tiny PC with actual AI capabilities, starting at $1,000.
We love tiny PCs. But a lot of them are on the weaker side specwise, and that’s understandable—there’s not a lot of space inside to put high-end parts, and even if there was, thermals are also an issue. This one, however, doesn’t seem to skimp on anything.
GMK has just launched its EVO-T1 mini PC. This one is notable because it packs a punch when it comes to specs. It’s powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H—so not only are we getting an Ultra 9 here, but we’re also getting an Arrow Lake H variant, which gives this pretty good performance. It’s a 16-core CPU and it’s paired with integrated Intel Arc 140T graphics, so this should perform pretty well for most basic computing applications. It also supports a staggering 96GB of DDR5-5600 memory and has three M.2 2280 slots for PCIe 4.0 x4 solid-state drives, so you can equip this with as much storage as you need.

GMK’s AD-GP1 is a Tiny External GPU
As compact as it gets.
It’s a tad bigger than most other tiny PCs at 154 x 151 x 73.6mm, but given the hardware inside, it more than makes up for it. It has a USB4 Type-C port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with power delivery, and three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports. We also get 2.5 GbE Ethernet jacks and two USB 2.0 ports, as well as HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and dual 3.5mm audio jacks. It even has an OCuLink port, offering a 64 Gbps connection for external graphics docks, so you can equip external graphics on this if you want to game or get more serious graphical work done on this. The integrated GPU, while powerful for an iGPU, is not the best for these purposes, but by hooking up external graphics to this computer, you can probably make this into a pretty sick rig.
This is not a Copilot+ PC, but GMK is equipping this with a local DeepSeek-R1-32B model for local AI processing purposes, aided by both the integrated NPU in this Intel chip and an extra boost provided by the integrated GPU. So, depending on what you’ll use it for, this stands out as a PC that actually packs some actual AI brains rather than just smaller “AI” gimmicks. But you would be forgiven for not giving this any thought and just using it as a bog-standard tiny PC.
Configurations start at $1,000 for a model equipped with a substantial 64GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, and they can go up depending on the specs. You can now buy it on GMK’s website if you want to get one.
