partaker GF1 barebone mini PC i3-5005U 16GB 256GB

Compact desktop for business and signage

The Partaker GF1 is a fan-cooled mini PC built around an Intel Core i3 5005U dual-core processor running at 2.00 GHz with a 15 W TDP. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3L memory and a 256 GB mSATA SSD, plus Windows 11 Pro 64-bit pre-installed. The aluminium-and-ABS chassis measures 133.8 x 126.6 x 47 mm and weighs 0.65 kg, making it suited to office desks, digital-signage players or light industrial control cabinets.

Straightforward setup with one cabling catch

The VESA bracket and 12 V 5 A power brick are included, so the unit mounts behind a monitor and powers from a standard 100-240 V outlet. Two SO-DIMM slots and a 2.5 inch SATA bay are accessible after removing the base screws, allowing memory or storage upgrades without special tools. The only common snag is the single mSATA slot: it is already occupied by the boot SSD, so adding a second mSATA drive is not possible without removing the existing one.

Triple-display ceiling and legacy-port mix

Video outputs comprise two HDMI 1.4 ports and one VGA connector; the HDMI ports reach 2560 x 1600 at 60 Hz while VGA tops out at 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. The chipset supports three simultaneous screens in clone or extended mode, but no higher resolutions or refresh rates are available. Networking relies on dual Realtek RTL8168/8111E Gigabit LAN ports plus an M.2 PCIe slot for an optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module, while USB connectivity covers four USB 3.0, two USB 2.0 and a single Type-C port.
