The concept of a cyberdeck is to customize hardware to better suit your specific needs and use cases, and a modder who goes by "Slurp Burgers" online has taken the concept to something of an extreme, with their take on a laptop, the Slurptop. Unlike many DIY cyberdeck builds, which are based on Raspberry Pi computers, the Slurptop uses a full-fat AMD Ryzen 7 7730U in the motherboard from a GMKtec M5 Ultra mini PC. As a result, it has somewhat better I/O than a traditional laptop, although the mini PC's three front USB Type-C ports were all used to connect the display and peripherals internally.

The modder took the GMKtec innards and built a custom 3D printed shell around them, replete with a columnar-stagger ergonomic keyboard using MX-style switches and SA profile keycaps, a central num pad, and a trackball mounted at the bottom of the cyberdeck. Perhaps more interesting, the modder designed custom circuitry to be able to run the device off a 24 V Kobalt power tool battery, which is swappable in the event that you need an emergency charge. The modder says that, with light productivity use, like word processing, the battery lasts around five hours, but that could be increased with a bigger 8 Ah battery.

AMD's update to the Strix Halo Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the Gorgon Halo Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495, which launched with 16 Zen 5 cores, a total of 32 threads, and AMD's Radeon 8065S iGPU. So far, Framework has been the biggest OEM to tease the new Halo APU, but it seems as though GMKtec will soon launch a new Gorgon Halo mini PC in the Evo-X5 Pro.

GMKtec's official X account teased the new mini PC, which the brand says will launch at IFA Berlin 2026, on September 5. Aside from this, not much is known about the mini PC itself, however, the GMKtec Evo-X3 launched not too long ago, stacked to the gills with pro-tier ports, a beefy cooling solution with a 140 W peak TDP, and triple cooling fans. If the Evo-X5 doesn't stray too far from its predecessor, we can expect an OCuLink port, HDMI 2.1, at least one USB4 port, and 2.5 G LAN—or faster—packed into an aluminium chassis. We can also expect to see the price of the mini PC climb to the $4,000-range, especially for the top-end variant with 192 GB of RAM.

GMKtec has been moving fast with its SFF PC launches, with its latest compact PC, the Neo-X1 and Neo-X1 Pro, reportedly packing some impressive gaming power at an equally high price. The new mini PC uses a mobile AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX in the regular X-1 or an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D in the Pro model, both of which are 16-core, 32-thread CPUs with 55 W TDPs. The Pro comes with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 12 GB, and the non-Pro variant uses an RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB.

The GMKtec Neo series is also water cooled by a built-in AIO, but it's currently not known if that only includes both the CPU and the GPU. The chassis of the Neo series measures in at a very compact 14.6 L, although the company has not yet shared exact dimensions. It features a minimalist design with two metal grab handles on the top, and what looks to be a completely closed off front panel. The front panel has two USB Type-A ports, a USB Type-C port, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, although exact speeds of the front panel I\O is not yet known.

Around the middle of March, GMKtec's EVO-X2 Mini PC design attracted international media attention—thanks to Dr. Lisa Su's autograph adorning a special presentation sample. During festivities, this relatively young Chinese brand—founded back in 2019—introduced the "world's first" AI mini PC equipped with AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU. This flagship "Strix Halo" chip leverages Zen 5 and RDNA 3.5 technologies; the latter aspect forms the basis of an impressively potent Radeon 8060S iGPU. This integrated graphics solution has surpassed or matched some worthy (previous-gen) discrete competitors, and apparently performs admirably in LLM inference workload scenarios. At the tail end of March, GMKtec opened up pre-orders for its $2000+ headline product—starting off in China. Back then, potential international buyers were intrigued—many envisioned a pleasing wider distribution of EVO-X2 Mini PC retail stock. Given that GMKtec had semi-recently expanded its sales operation into Europe, hopes were elevated.

As reported by TechRadar last week, Eurozone tech enthusiast prayers were answered—their coverage outlined an intriguing pre-order campaign: "buyers can unlock a reduced pre-sale price of €1,499 for the base model by paying a $100 deposit. Those who want the higher configuration need to place a €200 deposit to qualify for a discounted €1,799 final price. All orders must be completed by May 7 to receive the full discount." Days later, VideoCardz and Notebookcheck noted a similar promotion—rolled out for North American audiences. Officially, the EVO-X2 Mini PC is (tentatively) set to launch on May 20—well ahead of Framework's projected "early Q3 2025" debut shipment of "tiny 4.5L Mini-ITX" Desktop units. Time limited promo prices are in effect until next week—the 64 GB and 128 GB RAM EVO-X2 package are currently discounted: $1399 and $1799 (respectively). As expected, GMKtec's official US webshop also requires pre-order deposits—refer to these details below.
