Very first impressions of #gmktec NucBox M5 Plus (https://www.gmktec.com/products/amd-ryzen-7-5825u-mini-pc-nucbox-m5-plus?variant=10dbb22c-4c99-488f-be78-43c01e2a0c2c):

- came with one stick of RAM being faulty (single bit randomly getting stuck found by Memtest86+)
- no OEM key burnt into motherboard firmware
- preinstalled Windows 11 without any extra bloatware, just whatever Microsoft ships OEMs with. activated without issues, so seems legit.
- not the most optimal VRAM pool UEFI setting (3GB, I suggest not more than 1GB unless you're going to game on that thing, which I don't recommend anyway).
