Introduction

The GMKtec M6 Ultra is built around AMD's Ryzen 5 7640HS and DDR5 memory, with hardware that feels more like a higher-priced Mini-PC, including dual 2.5 GbE networking and USB4. With the 32 GB configuration coming in at around $510, it offers strong desktop performance in a compact chassis, without the premium price tag.


AMD's Ryzen 5 7640HS is a 6-core, 12-thread processor manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process and paired with Radeon 760M integrated graphics. This setup delivers plenty of CPU headroom for productivity tasks, media playback, and multitasking. The RDNA 3-based Radeon 760M still holds up as a current-generation iGPU, making the system great for casual gaming and lighter graphics work, even though it trails Mini-PCs equipped with Radeon 780M, let alone the newer 890M or Arc 140V graphics.

Connectivity includes dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, Wi-Fi 6E, and a USB4 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode support, alongside full size HDMI and DisplayPort for multi-monitor setups. USB4 also enables higher-resolution displays, adding flexibility depending on how the system is used. Inside, GMKtec leaves room for upgrades, with dual DDR5 SODIMM slots and two M.2 NVMe bays available for memory and storage expansion.

The configuration tested here includes 32 GB of DDR5 memory running at 4800 MT/s, paired with the bundled generic PCIe 3.0 SSD. GMKtec also offers a barebones option at $270 USD without memory, storage, or a pre-installed copy of Windows 11, for users who prefer to use their own components.

I will get into the details later in the review, but after spending time with the M6 Ultra, it feels like the kind of Mini-PC that fits well into a lot of setups. It is quick enough for daily work, handles multitasking easily, and offers more connectivity than many systems in this price range. The integrated graphics are strong enough for casual gaming and lighter creative tasks. A few compromises show up, such as the entry level bundled SSD and higher power draw under load, but at around $510, the overall package feels very competitive, especially for anyone looking for a compact Ryzen system with upgrade flexibility and dual 2.5 GbE networking.

That said, let's dig into it.
