About this product
The GMKtec G3S is a palm-sized desktop built on the Intel Alder Lake N95, with 8GB DDR4 and either a 128GB or 256GB PCIe M.2 SSD. For browsing, documents and streaming, 8GB is the comfortable floor and 128GB covers Windows 11 Pro plus everyday programs; choose 256GB if you keep photo libraries or install several large apps, since the M.2 layout keeps the system quiet and quick to boot. It slips behind a monitor or under a TV where a tower would never fit, which makes it a sensible drop-in for an ageing office PC or a media corner. Port layout and whether the RAM is upgradeable are not listed in the offer, so confirm those two points with the seller before ordering.

Pros & cons
Pros
- Palm-sized chassis hides behind a monitor or inside a TV cabinet
- Intel N95 runs cool and sips power, so it can stay on all day
- Choose 128GB or 256GB PCIe M.2 SSD, both quieter than a hard disk
- Windows 11 Pro plus WiFi 5 and BT 5.0 are ready out of the box
Cons
- The N95 is a low-power chip, so large games and heavy rendering are out of scope
- Whether the 8GB RAM is soldered or has a free slot is not stated — ask the seller
- A small chassis means sustained full load will eventually throttle
