If you are looking for a computer for a home media server, then you should buy one of these. There is no need for a graphics card since this mini pc has an Intel i5-8279 which has Intels Iris Plus Graphics 655. That supports up to 3 monitors. Also, when it comes to using this CPU for transcoding on a media server, I have read that people managed to hit 24 simultaneous 1080P to 720P transcodes or more. I wont be using it for that many, but it shows how good these processors are.

I like the performance and the size of it is fantastic you could bring it anywhere its a laptop without a screen

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.

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.

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.

amazingly fast, small and portable

Pleasantly surprised by this mini unit
