A Mighty Mini PC: Small in Size, Big in Performance at an Unbeatable Price!
I recently bought this mini PC, and it’s proven to be an absolute steal, especially considering the incredible deal I snagged it for – just $120 on Amazon! This little device is a testament to the saying “good things come in small packages.” It’s astounding how something that fits in the palm of my hand can rival the performance of a full-sized PC.Performance-wise, this mini PC is a speed demon. It handles everything from Zoom meetings and Skype calls to running heavy-duty applications like Office and Photoshop with ease. Streaming videos and surfing the web are smooth experiences, thanks to its robust processing power. The dual 4K HDMI outputs are a game-changer for multi-tasking or enjoying high-definition entertainment. Plus, the efficient cooling system deserves a shout-out for keeping things cool under pressure.Design-wise, it’s sleek, compact, and incredibly space-efficient. It even comes with a handy wall-mount bracket, which is great for keeping my workspace neat and tidy. The array of interfaces, including several USB3.0 ports and a gigabit Ethernet port, meet all my connectivity needs. It’s amazing to see such functionality packed into a device this size.However, not everything was perfect. There was a bit of a mix-up with the operating system. I ordered the Linux version, but it arrived with Windows pre-installed. While I wasn’t too fussed since I intended to use Windows anyway, it’s worth noting for those who might be specific about their OS preferences. Also, the legalities of this OS switcheroo are a bit murky since I didn’t pay for a Windows license. But given the mini PC’s budget-friendly price, this issue didn’t dampen my spirits too much.In conclusion, this mini PC is a fantastic buy for anyone looking for a powerful, compact, and affordable computer. It’s suitable for a wide range of uses, from business to entertainment. Just keep an eye on the operating system if you’re picky about that. Other than that, you’re in for a treat with this pint-sized powerhouse.

Ordered a Linux box, got Windows
Ordered a Linux box but received one with Windows so took off a star. However, I was still able to install the Linux distribution Zorin by disabling the secure boot and fiddling with some of the other controls in the BIOS. Did get it up and running despite only being a non-technical user. It boots really, really fast and runs well. The box has built in Wifi and Bluetooth which is nice and helps to free up the four USB ports. It is quiet and doesn’t get hot. The small form allows the box to be easily placed.

Very capable at running various home server software
This thing is surprisingly pretty sick.I’ve had it for about six months now and I’ve moved a lot of my home server services over to it. I used to run Plex off my NAS but the CPU on it was just too dinky to handle transcodes of high bitrate videos, but this Beelink with its N95 and quicksync makes short work of anything I try to play.It’s also been running a bunch of containers to run Plex-adjacent tools and other home security software and it’s been a breeze. I expected a mini PC at this price point to struggle at some point but I have so much overhead to spare that I’m looking for more things to throw at it.

Das boas surpresas do ano, esse mini PC me surpreendeu no primeiro dia de uso. Compacto, leve e prático. Atendeu muito bem o propósito e sincronizou todos os itens do meu perfil. Recomendo fortemente a sua compra, tudo veio bem embalado e guardado. Recomendo o vendedor e a compra, veio até antes do previsto para a entrega

(I’m editing my review because I thought the voltage reading I was getting on the CPU seemed high but I have confirmed with an Intel rep that it is within the normal range for the CPU in this machine.)I payed $190 CDN for this computer in December of 2022. Performance is quite good considering it has a 15W TDP processor in it. I have upgraded the RAM to 16GB from the original 8GB and I have added a 500GB 2.5″ SSD in addition to the original 128GB SSD.Pros: Good performance for the price and power draw. Can run many low end or older games quite decently. I had decent experiences running overwatch 2, Fallout New Vegas, Half LIfe 2, Portal 2, Half Life, Half Life Infinite, Golf with Friends, and other older games at 720P with low or medium settings. Overwatch 2 was a bit stuttery on occasion but doubling the RAM to 16GB seems to have smoothed it out. The machine also has many great features, such as: Socketed RAM that can be swapped out. An M2 SATA SSD (stock config) that can be swapped out and upgraded. It also has an available pre-wired 2.5″ drive bay so you can easily install a 2.5″ SSD. The bottom of the computer is easily removed with four small screws and all the upgradable components are easily accessible immediately upon opening the computer. Also, the BIOS is surprisingly robust and open ended given that this is an OEM machine. You can TDP up the CPU if you’re brave and have the computer in a cold room. You can change the amount of RAM to allocate to the integrated graphics, and you can tweak memory timings. Is the bios a pretty looking graphical interface? No, but it is a UEFI bios with a lot of options to play with. Also, the machine did not come with any bloatware that I was aware of. Just Windows and drivers. The windows 11 pro installation was activated. No missing drivers in device manager.Cons: The machine gets to 70-80C under load in a 22C room which is what my home is usually heated to. By under load I mean running 2 high res videos on two seperate screens (which it does without any noticeable frame drops), or running a game, stuff like that. Obviously if you do a 30 minute cinebench marathon it’s going to probably get warmer. Are these temperatures a problem? Absolutely not. However if you were to be in a very hot part of the world without air conditioning, and you were to run this computer in say a 35 celsius environment, I’d be watching the temperatures of the computer’s processor more carefully. Having said that, the same is true of any machine with a small heatsink in hot environments, such as laptop computers or SFF computers, so that’s not necessarily a con against this specific computer. The only real genuine con I’ve found with this machine is that the RAM is single channel (only one slot). Having said that, the only situation where that will matter for a machine in this class is the integrated graphics. Could I get a few more FPS in Fallout with dual channel RAM? Possibly. Is it a deal breaker? No. Also this computer runs Chrome OS Flex and Fyde OS (a fork of Chrome OS) flawlessly with zero issues. Also when I removed the included 8GB 2400Mhz RAM and replaced it with 16GBX1 2666Mhz RAM as well as adding a 500GB SATA SSD the machine booted up within about 10 seconds and posted immediately. It also correctly set the RAM speed to 2666Mhz. The SSD was immediately available in disk management as well as the BIOS.Noticeable quirks based on my findings: possibly innaccurate vCore readings, definitely innacurate RAM speed readings (2666 RAM reads at 667 instead of 1333. It’s definitely running at 2666 though). Also I was somewhat disappointed with the sound quality from the built in 3.5mm output and upgraded to a cheap and cheerful Soundblaster Play 3 external DAC dongle which sounds somewhat better while also offering more sound profile tweaks. Works well with this device.Good value for money. Good cheap PC for a media center, or retro gaming, or maybe for your grandparents who want to surf the web and watch youtube videos. Also pretty decent for MS office which I have used on it. Competent basic every day PC at a low price.
