Manufacturer description

The GMKtec K11 is a compact mini gaming PC built around the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, an 8-core, 16-thread processor. It runs at 35W TDP by default and can be raised to 70W when you want more sustained performance. It ships with 32GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 (2x16GB) and a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD. You can expand memory to 96GB, and two M.2 slots let you grow storage to as much as 8TB. The OCuLink port is the main reason to choose the K11. It runs at PCIe x4 speeds, so you can attach an external GPU later and get far more graphics performance than the chassis can hold. For displays, you get HDMI…
