Tom's Guide Verdict

The GMKtec Neo-X1 Pro delivers desktop-tier gaming performance and remarkably whisper-quiet acoustics in a compact 14.6-liter chassis. Its soldered mobile CPU and steep SFF price tag keep it from being an automatic purchase for everyone, but if you want high-end living room portability with room to swap your GPU down the road, it’s an impressive machine.

Reasons to buy

+ Compact, desk-friendly footprint

+ Upgradable memory and storage

+ Impressive, near-silent gaming performance

+ Built-in carrying handles make it easy to move

Reasons to avoid

- No USB4 or Thunderbolt ports

- Soldered, non-upgradable CPU

- Expensive, even for a compact rig
