Beelink Mini S12 Pro Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake- N100(up to 3.4GHz), 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB PCIe SSD, Desktop Computer Support 4K Dual Display/USB3.2/WiFi 6/BT5.2/Gigabit Ethernet for Home/Office

This mini PC is powerful as well as affordable, it has all the latest tech, Windows 11 Pro, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake processor, 16 GB DDR4 ram & works incredible as well. I have it hooked up to my flat screen with a wireless keyboard & mouse & the picture is incredible too.

Bought it for an older person who uses it mostly to check email, keep up with the news, and play mahjong and solitaire games that were designed to run on Windows 98 (surprisingly, these games work perfectly on Windows 11 - I could never get them to run on Windows 10.)

I love this small cute box, so I have spent enormous time trying to achieve what I wanted. Its a decent full-blown machine in spite of its size. It works fine (I am not an expert) with Win 11.

It is a nice little computer with every thing needed for home use.

Pretty decent. I’m setting it up to run my nas. Will update more if warrants. One thing to note. The ssd expansion will only fit the 7mm thick drives. I had 2 older ones that I was going to use in it and neither one of them fit. It is such a small form factor, I can’t really blame them, but did kind of suck because I don’t remember seeing that. Not a huge issue for me though.

I like this computer, I really do. For some lighter-weight computing its quiet and very small. I bought it so that I could install Ubuntu and run some code I wrote. I need to operate the system headless, and had planned to interface with it over WiFi since there is no hard network cable nearby where it will be located. Unfortunately there is a bug in the Linux kernel (even the latest one) with the WiFi driver for (I believe it is) Intel AX101 chip. Ubuntu shows no WiFi capability but I can see that the chip is detected. I attempted several patches and driver installs from Git but could not get it to work. If you plan to use this computer under any Linux and need WiFi I recommend you consider another computer.

small size, easy to set up, quick start-up response

This thing walks all over my J4125 Celeron box. It streams 4k video without a hiccup. Im using it for my large iTunes library, and as a Plex server. Works great! Im not concerned about the single-channel memory; its def fast enough for my use.

Bought this to run Home Assistant on Debian. I was unable to get Debian up and running, most likely because of missing drivers (the Mini S12 Pro has a fairly new CPU and chipset). Decided to setup Proxmox, running Home Assistant in a VM instead - worked like a charm. This is the better choice anyway, as this little box has way more horsepower than Home Assistant needs. This is a very capable mini PC, would highly recommend.

Good enough!
