> 3 dayPlanning to use this as upgrade to my current Intel J4105 based SBC running Linux Mint and Kodi. Its very small and the price is hard to beat. Fan noise is almost imperceptible (important since Ill be using as an HTPC). Despite its size, theres room to add a 2.5 SATA drive. With 4 USB ports, I can hook up my wireless keyboard, remote control, video capture device, and still accommodate an occasional optical or media drive. One nit is that the USB ports are all mounted upside down. Performance is more than adequate for streaming video content and playing videos from my media server.

Greater than one weekIm a Beelink Fan! This is not my first Mini S, and while not cutting edge or high performance Ive found them to be a great mix of well chosen cheaper products in a nice package. Ive only run Linux on them, but I did play around with Windows 11 for a few minutes on this one. Id like to explore more later - its really nice to get a licensed copy of the Pro version, though admittedly Im not sure what that means anymore on Windows.

> 3 dayThis mini pc is good if you dont ever want to upgrade it from its current hardware (Watch Youtube videos) no expansion slots for RAM, and if you can tolerate the fan hum. I wish I would have purchased the N100 for a little more muscle under the hood. This mini pc is good for surfing and data entry, dont expect it to handle too heavy of a load. Please send me the N100

Greater than one weekAs a home theatre PC, it does exactly what I hoped for. Given the low price, I have absolutely no complaints!

> 3 dayI bought this computer but quickly returned it. The memory DIMM was unbranded (but with an AZW sticker) with unknown chips, and not Crucial brand as some of the reviews and promo photos suggest. The SSD was also unbranded (consisting of a Maxio MAP1202 controller with NH14TAA1442256G chips). I like to be careful with my choice of components and there is very little or no information about these available. Given that 7% of Amazon review report these computers failing, I just didnt feel confident enough to keep the unit. Memory and storage of known quality can be found cheap on Amazon, so for me it doesnt make sense to take a risk with unknown components. I ended up buying a slightly slower barebones mini PC (Intel NUC) and adding Crucial memory with a Samsung SSD for just a little more than I paid for the Beelink. A final note for Linux users, this Beelink uses an Intel AX101 WiFi/BT module and none of the distros has fully working driver for that since its so new.

> 3 dayVery slow if used as a htpc/plex has issues playing 1080p context with direct play. 4k YouTube videos you well notice lag. Seems to handle handle a mild modded Minecraft server ok with just a few people. Box gets super hot to the touch so thermal throttle is happening if you use 100% of it. Just avoid anything that needs the video chip side of the cpu.
