Alternative to Beelink

Hello everyone,

I’m looking into Mini PCs and I’m torn between several models. I’ve spotted the GMKtec G10 which seems interesting, but I wonder if it’s really competitive compared to a Beelink in terms of price and performance.

Has anyone here already tested the GMKtec G10? Is it worth it compared to a Beelink for Gladys Assistant?

Thanks in advance for your feedback and advice!

Hi @WaFid and welcome to the forum!

I don’t have a Beelink or GMKtec at home but a Dell OptiPlex Micro cluster running Proxmox and it runs very well.

In any case I was also wondering if anyone had already tested a Zimaboard 2.
I find the configuration rather interesting and the price reasonable for the specs.
There is the ZimaBlade, cheaper but requires a bit more hardware tinkering (adding RAM and an SSD via USB or PCIe).

EDIT: judging by European prices compared to the price on Zima’s shop, I get the impression that customs fees are high :roll_eyes:. And they will raise prices on their shop starting 6/02 because of the rising price of RAM (+$60).

Hi! So I don’t really know what to do, whether to get the starter kit or buy a machine on my own…

Hi!

The starter kit also gives you access to Gladys Plus and the complete guide created by @pierre-gilles! If that can help tip the scales…

Ah yes, okay! Besides, I’m a complete beginner! Apart from Philips Hue, I don’t know anything!
