Hello, this is Hamuocchi.

I find mini PCs romantic.

Why? Because of the sense of condensation—the feeling of 'how did they pack so much into this size?'

Take the Mac mini, for example.

That small chassis is packed with enough performance to handle almost anything in daily life. That alone is attractive enough.

However, that is not what this is about.

It is about Windows mini PCs. And not just any ordinary mini PC.

This is something on a completely 'different level'.

Today's Gem

GMKtec EVO-X2 AI Mini PC with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 128GB LPDDR5 + 2TB

This is not just a high-performance PC. It is a 'machine for running local AI at the highest level at home'.

It is completely over-spec for normal use.

This machine does not exist on the extension of so-called 'sensible PC selection'. Rather, it is a gadget for enjoying 'going too far'.

128GB of memory that breaks the VRAM barrier

The essence of this machine lies here.

128GB of memory.

What does this mean? Those who know, know.

Usually, the biggest barrier when running local LLMs is VRAM. Even when using an NVIDIA GPU, the problem of models not running due to insufficient VRAM occurs frequently.

But this machine is different. You can use the main memory as VRAM.

In other words, it means you can "fit massive models in as-is."

70B class LLMs.
Normally, you'd have to think about the configuration, quantize it, and tinker with various things just to get it running.

Yet, it runs relatively simply.
This can safely be called a game changer.

A bug in size and performance

What's even more terrifying is its size.

It weighs just under 2kg.
The size is what you'd call a "lunchbox size."

Packed inside are:
・16-core class CPU
・Radeon 8060S class GPU
・128GB RAM

It's all crammed in there.

Thinking about it normally, it's absurd.

It packs desktop-class performance into a mini PC size,
you could even carry it around.

At this point, the romance is exploding.

Moreover, its power efficiency is excellent.

It uses about 10-30W when idle.
In other words, it can realistically be operated as an always-on AI server.

It's outrageous.

The range of uses expands all at once

Once you start thinking about the uses for this kind of machine, you can't stop.

For example:
・Turn it into a local AI server with Ollama
・Call it via API from your main PC
・Offload all heavy inference processing

You can do all this.

In short, your MacBook or main PC turns into a "light-duty device."
The mini PC handles all the heavy processing in the background.

This is truly cutting-edge.

The premise of "doing everything on one PC" is changing,
into a world of "dividing roles."

It is the moment when the way you use gadgets evolves to the next level.

Points of concern

First, the noise issue.
It is said to be quite loud when running at full power.

Well, this is probably unavoidable.

Next, the AMD environment.

Compared to NVIDIA's CUDA, there is less information available.
Building an ROCm environment requires some knowledge and trial and error.

And then, gaming usage.

Honestly, this is underwhelming.
For the same price, building a desktop would be overwhelmingly more powerful.

In short, this machine is for those who are fully committed to AI use,
and for those who pursue the romance of technology.

Summary

This GMKtec EVO-X2 AI mini PC is an extremely niche product.

It is definitely not necessary for the average person.

However, for those it appeals to, it hits the mark perfectly.

・You want to get serious about local AI
・You want to run huge models without stress
・You want to create the ultimate environment without cluttering your desk

For these people, it can definitely be the "answer."

And above all, this performance in this size.
This alone is more than enough to satisfy the romantic appeal.

Gadgets are not chosen solely based on rationality.
They are things to enjoy for this kind of "excessiveness."
