We appreciate your insights in this review. You will always have our support.

Would be cool if you could introduce a tier/ranking list so we can compare the different devices and how you rank them

[KatRollo]

Minor correction when it comes to BIOS (applies to most Beelink units):
5:01 - The VRAM is already allocated at 4GB by default with UMA_SPECIFIED as shown. To change the allocation, set UMA Frame Buffer Size. No need to change to UMA_GAME_OPTIMIZED. You can verify this with CPU-Z under Graphics tab.

Two NVME drives? I'm sold. Sounds like it'd make the best server/emulation box ever.

I have a SER7 7840HS. I can say its great, fantastic, so small and have no trouble. I unboxed, put in power and its been pristine. Runs any game I throw at it.

The main reason I bought the pc is that it easily fit on a bracket behind my 65" TV that is mounted above a fireplace, which now I have a full blow pc to run Steam, etc that no one can see or hear. I paid $620 delivered (no tax or shipping). What more could you ask for?

Hi, Chris! Thank you very much for your reviews. Based on your reviews I purchased my NUC 5 years ago and have been using it smoothly. Now I want to upgrade to a faster mini PC and Beelink have just released the successor of SER 7 - the Beelink SER 8 model. The new model looks very promising. If possible, could you please put it on your review list? Appreciate your efforts you are doing for all of us! 👍

Hopefully Ryzen 6900HX mini PC gets cheaper in the future, it's still the best mini for it's price

[DSTWizz]

Good to know that you're not having any issues with this Chris. However, Bee-link say on their website, "Note: The UK and the AU Adapter are not available at the moment." Maybe they'll be available soon.

I imagine it won't be long before Beelink releases the pro and then the max versions just as they did with the ser5 & 6.

[J.H.ALI]

I would love to see your review for the upcoming Beelink SER8

[elieheartheart]

im missing your in-depth reviews, can you do the
Oneplus Ace 2 Pro and the Xiaomi Redmi K60 Ultra/Xiaomi Mi 13T Pro this coming days .. thank you in advance 💕

I just bought the Beelink SER6 with the Ryzen 7 7735 for my dad, great specs for the price. My other option would have been the Minis Forum NAB5 with the i5-1245H. Decided to go with the Beelink despite being 100 € more expensive :)
It's a bit a shame that the USB ports at the back aren't USB3.

I love this and I really want to buy one of these mini PCs but I'm not going to do it if it doesn't have occulink. Regardless it's a very exciting time because I know it's coming soon 😊. I will admit though I hate waiting... I'm almost tempted to pick up the clamshell foldable one from GPD but nah that price I'm not going to be dealing with overheating issues Plus I want faster for that money

[HighFiveTheTodd]

I just picked one of these up and I have serious wifi and bluetooth connectivity issues. Everything else is pretty nice. Did you test/observe any issues?

[InnovaMotorConcesionario]

Very good video¡¡ I am in doubt about one of these three models.

Is not for gaming, just to use work programs and browse the internet, which of the three models do you recommend (good Wi-Fi and connections along with the best performance with minimal noise and heat).

[RinoAP]

I think it's time for you to test the AV1 encoding performance from both Intel and AMD's iGP

[StingerDave]

It would be nice if you put a second gen 4 drive in it and tested transfer speeds. You would assume they should be good, but you never know. A spare Samsung 980 2Tb drive is fairly inexpensive and would be good for a game drive and for backups.

[darrellstaley]

A couple of Amazon reviewers stated that to run Windows 11, you have to purchase the license for $200. Is this true? This makes the effective price $929. The competitive brands for the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS include Windows 11 with the purchase.

[EsotericDesi]

Instead of that type of charging, cable, they should've made it run on USB Type-C instead... It's a great PC but proprietary charging cable makes it a headache.

[mowcowbell]

Beelink dumped the proprietary magnetic power connector for a standard barrel connector on the SER8. I sent my SER7 back, the power keep going off due to the poor connection of the magnetic connector.
