GMKtec is a Chinese computer maker founded as Shenzhen GMK Technology that builds mini PCs almost exclusively, with the name standing for Geek, Modern and Kreativ. Its range runs from compact NucBox office machines to the M series and the EVO-X line of AMD Ryzen AI workstations, and the company positions itself around desktop AI computing. Machines typically ship with Windows 11 Pro, run Linux, and keep memory and M.2 storage socketed rather than soldered so buyers can upgrade them.
