Being from the IT world, Ive seen and used many platforms and many devices, but this little dynamo hits it out of the park! It took all of maybe 10 minutes from opening the box to being up, running, and fully functional. I primarily run the Adobe CC suite and a DAW for music production. These applications were lightning fast with no hiccups whatsoever. Boot time is less than 30 seconds and amazingly, comes with Windows 10 pro. I plan on upgrading to 32 gb RAM and adding a additional SSD to push it to the limit, but it runs just fine as is.

My old Lenovo desktop finally died so I started the hunt for a new replacement but all of the Lenovos I found seemed to cost much more than what I valued them for and while searching Amazon for a new rig, I stumble upon the Beelink series of mini computers.

Purchased thinking the issues may have been resolved - I have prime, worth a shot. They havent as of 4.15.22. Computer comes with Windows 10, not 11. Customer service is non-existent; dont even bother with it. Also, the aux port creates a static impulse frequently as noted by other reviewers. Just buy something else and dont waste your time and money.

Was looking for a powerful, but small, PC to use for a home built NAS system. Needed something in a small footprint, but with an 8th gen intel CPU and some m.2 slots for expansion purposes and this fit the bill near perfectly. For my setup, Ill be replacing the m.2 wireless card with a Coral AI TPU for security camera AI detection and replacing the m.2 NVME card with a 5x Sata adapter. I am using the built in sata interface with a 2.5 SSD to run the OS and using the 5x Sata add-on card (ASIN: B09N8MCDTZ) for a RAID array. The 8th gen CPU was a requirement for the use of Intels Quick Sync for video transcoding. Ill be pairing the Mini PC with a custom built enclosure to have a very powerful NAS at a fraction of the price of comparable commercially available NAS devices.

I have an older Beelink i3, 5th gen model. It has worked flawlessly and is a great back up. So when a recent windows update bricked my desktop, I thought to get a more powerful Beelink.

I previously purchased this unit with Windows 10 Pro on it. I convinced my brother to purchase the same unit SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE it was advertised as coming with Windows 10 Pro. Instead, his unit came with Windows 11 Pro installed. I have been pleased with my Windows 10 Pro unit, but Windows 11 might as well be malware with its mandatory creation of an online Microsoft account, completely rearranged desktop environment, etc. I had to use a hack to bypass the mandatory account creation.

I went with the Core i5 8259u processor with the 16GB of RAM, giving enough resources for my everyday PC needs. Its hard to believe that this mini computer is so much smaller and significantly quieter than a traditional desktop pc. Eventhough when I put the Beelink under load, I can hear the fan kick in, but still quieter. My old pc was so big that it went underneath my desk. With this mini one, i have mounted it on the back of the monitor, which is a great bonus for an uncluttered desktop.

I had an old desktop that need replaced that I needed to connect to a 65 in 4k tv and my XP-Pen drawing tablet. Ive tested and it works great. The small profile is perfect for my new desk. The video I uploaded shows a video being played on my 65inch tv while other screen is still on. I have my headphones plugged in and it sounds great. Overall I definitely love the this mini PC and has replaced my old desktop perfectly.

PC was delivered in a bag (not a box!) with no cushioning or protection whatsoever. The unit was already used and tied to another person’s account. Was supposed to be a brand new unit. Can’t use the pc at all and am very frustrated.

Pleasantly surprised by this mini unit
