The Evo-X2 isn’t just another small box on your desk—it’s a compact gaming mini PC built for serious performance and modern connectivity. One standout feature is the OCuLink port, enabling high-bandwidth eGPU support for those who want to pair this tiny rig with a desktop-class graphics card. Combine that with speedy USB4 and a well-rounded selection of ports, and you’ve got a small form factor system ready for gaming, creation, and everyday multitasking.
Key I/O includes:
– OCuLink for high-speed eGPU connections
– Dual USB4
– Three USB-A 3.2
– Dual USB-A 2.0
– SDXC card reader
– HDMI 2.1
– DisplayPort 1.4
– 3.5 mm audio jack
Performance impressions are overwhelmingly positive, with the Evo-X2 delivering the kind of responsiveness and graphical muscle that makes integrated graphics feel anything but “basic.” One caveat is memory: because the Strix Halo APU uses a unified memory design, RAM isn’t user-accessible. That trade-off helps the integrated GPU shine, but it does mean you should choose your memory configuration carefully at purchase. The good news is storage is simple to expand, and the included 1 TB SSD is easy to upgrade for larger game libraries and workloads.
At its current sale price, the GMKtec Evo-X2 is a compelling pick for enthusiasts who want high performance, powerful integrated graphics, and eGPU flexibility in a tiny footprint. If you don’t need 96 GB of memory but prefer more onboard storage, there’s also a 64 GB/2 TB configuration available for $1,614 on Amazon.
