This Tiny PC Is REAL FAST

This tiny PC is super fast, but at what cost?

Play some Minecraft on the Dawid Does Minecraft server courtesy of our friends at Linode!
It works on Java version 1.19.3

Let me know what you think the main use case is for this bad boy and if it’s worth the money.

"This tiny thingy is really fast" I've heard that somewhere....

This was the first mini PC I reviewed, and honestly I think it spoiled me. They say you never forget your first…😢

I got one for my 10 year old daughter as her first computer. It's perfect as a desktop for her homework, web browsing, and music etc, as well as letting her play Minecraft.

Bought one of these mini pcs for my friend with a dead pc from the Jurassic age. To them it was like apeman discovers fire, they didnt even know that a chrome window can be launched without freezing the entire pc for a minute.

@Dawid : To answer your question, this same brand of mini-PC was what I chose as an alternative to known brand (Dell, Lenovo, HP) mini-PCs for use on the shopfloor at our manufacturing plant. They cost less than the aformentionned products and perform much better. Paired with touch-screen monitors, this made possible the viewing of 3D technical designs at assembly stations.

Not all customers are individuals... and that kind of solution can be very useful in a corporate environment. In our case, I went for the SER5 series... which is already more than enough computing power and graphics power for our needs. They cost around 400$CAN. With a Dell touch-screen, I can equip one station for 1000$. That also means that when one of those dies from exposure to dust (which will happen eventually), it will be simple to just swap the SSD onto a new unit. The last piece of the puzzle is that we designed our own custom mounting bracket so that the mini-PC mounts to the monitor AND a monitor arm. One of those brackets, once laser cut by our supplier and power-coated in house comes-up to about 25$ a piece... which is short change in the grand scheme of things.😉

To be fair, it probably performs better than any prebuilt you'd get for the same price which automatically makes it a better choice given its size.

my dad bought one of those beelink systems to use as a Developer and they're surprisingly solid. He has one with lower specs but the little machine is a beast. For the price almost feels like a steal because it was a lot of PC for just $270. This one seems like almost a little workstation that you can ocasionally game in it.

5.26 amps at 19V, so basically 100W (99.94W). The voltage information makes the Amps actually informative. Nice video!

It immediately gets plus points from me for the charm of that "Hello" waiting for you when you open up the box.

I have recently purchased this same PC and configuration. I’m very pleased thus far. Using it as a console emulator and home theater PC.

[ahmetrefikeryilmaz]

The interor is superb. I still have a problem with the unnecessariness of the magnetic power cable but it's a really neat little system.

[huichoable]

Igpus have come so far I wish my childhood pc could've ran games like these new computers do

[kylosalvesen]

"HDD DISK" labeling for the m.2 nvme slot is priceless

I bought this exact model but in silver. I use it as my HTPC for my TV. When my nephew visits he uses it as a decently capable gaming device as well. All around a great buy!

I got one of these to replace an ancient tower system that finally died. With plenty of ports in the back, it was basically a drop in replacement, including line out for the speakers. It's so small that it literally fits in the space between the surface of the desk and the lower edge of my monitor, which really opened up a lot of desk space. And, the iGPU is capable enough that I can do light gaming.

I got a Beelink mini PC for my mother's birthday last year. It's the model with the 5560U in it. For her casual use, it's absolutely amazing for the price.

[Coolit]

I have sold a number of Beelink and the identical Trigkey mini PC's for office use. They are fantastic!
Usually in the flavor of Ryzen 5800H or 5700U or 5600something...
Solid little computers.

I bought one of these beelink minipcs as a software development "workstation". Triple 4k display was the selling point for me, along with good specs and form factor.

As a little PC that have the footprint of a fly, being that powerful is really neat. The ratio of power/footprint makes good for a little multitasking office for game, render small videos, some relatively heavy stuff..etc
You literally can put it behind a monitor.
