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

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.

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

Purchased as a low power virtualization node. While not the most beefy it makes for a easily portable demo environment for client looking for FOSS VE alternatives to vmware and hyper v or looking to visualize on linux.

This little pc is v good and fast

Its much faster than my i3 laptop, enough for everyday use and living room streaming box

Great!

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.

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.)

Bought this as a gamble after MS stopped supporting Win. 8.1. I connected 2 ten year old monitors to the HDMI ports on the computer and using the multiple display ability run Netflix, YouTube, and pay bills etc. at the same time without any hiccoughs. Trans coding audio is fast but video transcodes do take significantly more time but acceptable. The form factor allows it to easily fit on a small spot on my desk and its operation is nearly silent. I added a USB sound (DAC) dongle (Reiyin) for optical output to an old set of Logitech speakers which also works great. For the money I dont think you can get much better. Very pleased

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.
