GMKtec Neo-X1 Pro launches globally: RTX 5070 gaming PC in a 14.6L chassis, priced at $1,899 in the US, ₹2,19,999 in India — shipping now. It’s not an Xbox Series X replacement. It’s something narrower, louder in ambition: a prebuilt small-form-factor tower that fits two Xbox Series X units side-by-side but packs a desktop-grade Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU, not a console chip.
No mobile GPU. No cut-down die. Just Zotac’s full-size RTX 5070, with HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, cooled by a custom all-in-one liquid loop inside a chassis measuring 13.78 × 6.50 × 10.43 inches. The CPU is soldered: AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, a high-TDP mobile part chosen for thermal headroom in tight quarters.
Paired with 64GB of DDR5 RAM and, critically, no proprietary motherboard or non-standard power supply. It uses an 850W SFX unit, meaning users can swap the GPU later. That’s rare in prebuilts this size. Ports are split front and rear.
Front: two USB-A, one USB-C, 3.5mm combo jack, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4. Rear: four USB-A, one USB-C, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, audio jacks, HDMI 2.1b (GPU), and three DisplayPort 2.1b (GPU). Wi-Fi antennas mount externally, gold connectors visible on the back panel. Acoustics are its standout trait.
Tom’s Guide says it runs “whisper-quiet” under load, quieter than most mid-tower gaming PCs, let alone prebuilts this dense. The left side panel is perforated. The right draws air through circular cutouts and bottom vents. Top panel glows GMKtec’s signature neon green.
It ships with a power cord, HDMI 2.1 cable, and two Wi-Fi antennas. Setup is screw-and-plug. No BIOS fiddling, no driver hunting. Benchmarks show trade-offs: Geekbench single- and multi-core scores trail HP’s Omen Max 45L (which uses the desktop Ryzen 9 9950X3D), but SSD transfer speeds beat it, and HandBrake encoding lags by just 21 seconds on a 4K-to-1080p transcode.
Gaming performance matches expectations for an RTX 5070: native 1440p is comfortable. Native 4K needs DLSS or resolution scaling. It handles AI workloads too, 12GB VRAM + 64GB system RAM makes local LLM inference viable, per Tom’s Guide. Price is steep. $1,899 in the US. ₹2,19,999 in India.
That’s more than a base Xbox Series X ($499) and nearly double the cost of many RTX 5060 Ti systems. But it’s not competing with consoles. It’s targeting users who want living-room portability and upgradeability, a niche between mini PCs and full towers. Availability is immediate.
Tom’s Guide reviewed a unit shipped and set up in November 2026. No regional delays or phased rollouts are mentioned. Next step? Watch for OEM variants.
GMKtec has never made an SFF gaming tower before. This isn’t a refresh. It’s their first, and it ships with a desktop GPU nobody expected in this footprint.
