Glorlin GT105 lifestyle

The Glorlin GT105 is a five-inch-square desktop built on AMD’s Zen 4 mobile silicon, sold in two CPU tiers: the Ryzen 7 8745HS and the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS. Both are 8-core, 16-thread parts with Radeon 780M graphics, and PassMark’s CPU Mark separates them by about two percent, with the cheaper 8745HS scoring slightly higher. Only the PRO 8845HS carries AMD’s XDNA neural accelerator, which AMD rates at 16 TOPS; the 8745HS has no NPU. Everything else on the two tiers is the same chassis, the same ports and the same memory layout. The same machine is also sold as the Getorli GT105; Glorlin and Getorli are the same vendor, and the model number is the reliable identifier.

Two USB4 Type-C ports at 40Gbps, one on the front and one on the rear, sit alongside HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, so Glorlin advertises four 4K displays. Two 2.5GbE jacks make the box usable as a routing or home-lab machine. Every Amazon configuration listed here ships with a single 16GB DDR5 stick in a two-slot machine, and the 780M pulls its video memory from system RAM, so the graphics run at half the memory bandwidth they are capable of until a second module goes in.

Two CPU tiers that differ mainly in the NPU

The Ryzen 7 8745HS and the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS are both 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 designs with Radeon 780M graphics, 16MB of L3 cache and a 45W nominal TDP that Glorlin configures at 54W with a 65W boost. AMD lists a 4.9GHz maximum boost for the 8745HS and 5.1GHz for the PRO 8845HS. On PassMark’s CPU Mark the two land within about two percent of each other, so the buying decision between the tiers comes down to the NPU and to price. If you have no use for on-device AI acceleration, the cheaper tier gives up almost nothing.

The Radeon 780M is a 12-compute-unit RDNA 3 part that scores 6,806 on PassMark’s G3D mark, high for integrated graphics, but it has no dedicated video memory and reads from system RAM instead. One buyer who added a second 16GB module reported a clear gain in demanding games; the second SO-DIMM slot is open on every Amazon configuration listed here, and the platform is rated to 256GB in total. Glorlin’s own store also sells a 32GB configuration direct at a higher price. This 2024 Zen 4 silicon still performs like a capable mid-range desktop for office work, development and 1080p gaming, but it will not keep pace with the Zen 5 and Strix Point machines now shipping at similar prices, and the PRO 8845HS configurations in particular list high for what the chip delivers.

Ports, storage and the chassis

The chassis measures about 5.5 by 5.2 by 2 inches and weighs roughly 2.4 pounds, with a plastic housing, a VESA bracket in the box and vertical vent slots down one side. Cooling is active: a fan plus a heatsink with dual copper heat pipes.

The front face carries the power button, two USB-A 3.2 ports, one USB4 Type-C port, a 3.5mm combo jack and a reset pinhole. The rear holds the two 2.5GbE jacks, two USB-A 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, the second USB4 Type-C port and the 19V barrel input. Wireless is WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, a step behind the WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 modules appearing in newer machines at this price. Storage runs on two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots rated to 4TB in total, with one occupied by the shipped drive. Glorlin sells the PRO 8845HS tier at 500GB and 1TB and the 8745HS tier at 1TB.

Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled and activated, giving the machine TPM-backed device encryption and Active Directory join out of the box. Glorlin covers the unit with a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

The GT105 listings carry a 4.5-star average across 46 ratings. Amazon pools its reviews across several configurations of the GT105 and some related Glorlin models, so the feedback below is limited to buyers who describe the GT105 specifically, and each of the buyers quoted here is describing an 8745HS unit.

Praise concentrates on noise and setup. DCVegas wrote that “This little guy was plug and play. No problems. regular windows OS. Handles my two monitors with no extra adapters or docks,” and noted the VESA mount puts it out of sight behind the display. Trevor from NC called it “VERY quiet and cool under load” after running 20 loops of the 3DMark Night Raid benchmark, saying that “even under 100% fan speed this PC is almost pin-drop silent.”

Two buyers land on the same limitation, the single stick of memory. Trevor from NC hit repeated restarts out of the box, which stopped only after Windows updates and a reinstall of the AMD graphics and chipset drivers; he also flagged the memory, writing “I did notice it’s running single-channel RAM, though, which is a little disappointing because I think there’s probably a little more performance left on the table if it were running dual-channel.” Blake T. Dunbar reached the same conclusion from the gaming side and recommended buying a second 16GB stick, saying “It made a HUGE difference in gaming on more demanding titles.” Marius, reviewing in Germany, described the packaging as bare OEM style with no branding or printed materials, and made the same memory point: the 780M has no dedicated video memory and works best with both banks populated.

Who the GT105 suits

A buyer who wants two 2.5GbE ports and two USB4 ports in a small box, and who plans to add a second memory stick on day one, is the fit here. As a home-lab machine, a routing box or a multi-display office desktop it has the connectivity for the job, the second SO-DIMM slot takes another 16GB stick, and the second M.2 slot is open.

Anyone who wants full graphics performance without buying parts should skip it, because the single-channel memory is a known handicap that costs extra to fix. The silicon is a 2024 Zen 4 part, and the PRO 8845HS configurations ask a premium over the 8745HS one for a chip that benchmarks the same and differs only in its NPU. We have not found an independent lab review of this model, so there are no measured thermal, acoustic or benchmark figures beyond what buyers report.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Glorlin GT105 Ryzen 7 8745HS and Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS models?

Both are 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 chips with Radeon 780M graphics, and PassMark’s CPU Mark separates them by about two percent. The PRO 8845HS adds AMD’s XDNA NPU, which AMD rates at 16 TOPS, and boosts to 5.1GHz against 4.9GHz for the 8745HS. Chassis, ports, memory layout and storage slots are identical between the tiers.

Can I upgrade the RAM in the Glorlin GT105?

Yes. The GT105 has two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and Glorlin rates the platform to 256GB. Every Amazon configuration listed here ships with a single 16GB module, leaving the second slot free. Adding a matching stick puts the memory into dual-channel mode, which matters because the Radeon 780M draws its video memory from system RAM.

How many displays can the Glorlin GT105 drive?

Four. The rear panel has HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, and both USB4 Type-C ports (one front, one rear) carry DisplayPort Alt Mode.

How much storage does the Glorlin GT105 hold?

Two M.2 2280 slots on PCIe 4.0, rated to 4TB in total. One slot is occupied by the shipped drive, which is 500GB or 1TB depending on the configuration, so the second is free for an additional NVMe SSD. There is no 2.5-inch bay and no SD card reader.

Is the Glorlin GT105 the same as the Getorli GT105?

Yes. Glorlin and Getorli are the same vendor, and the machine is listed under both names with the same GT105 model number and the same specifications. Match on the model number and the CPU rather than on the brand name.

What comes in the box with the Glorlin GT105?

The mini PC, a 19V power adapter, an HDMI cable, a VESA mounting bracket and a user manual. Windows 11 Pro is preinstalled and activated. Glorlin covers the unit with a one-year warranty.
