The BEST Mini PC? YOU Asked Us to Review this AMD Ryzen Mini PC - Beelink SER6 Pro 7735HS

We review the Beelink SER6 Pro and show why this might just be the best Mini PC on the market with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, 32GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and the ability to connect to an eGPU via USB4/ Thunderbolt 3. We even connected an Intel Arc A770 in a Razer Thunderbolt eGPU chassis to see if it would work.

I recently purchased a SER5 with a 5600U to serve as a media PC for my camper during the summer months that I host for the US Forest Service. Living off the grid, power consumption is important and this little box rocks and is doing a fantastic job at everything I have asked it to do.

I have been using this mini-PC for a couple of months now. Excellent, silent, capable of gaming on an ultrawide monitor without a sweat (even if not at ultra settings). And it's really cheap compared to many other PCs, including the Intel NUCs. Only a small flaw, it's not as easy as on a NUC to upgrade firmware and BIOS.

I ended up my buying this exact mini pc last week after going back and forth with the Intel NUC12i5. This ended up being the cheaper option with arguably better performance. The selling point for me over lower end Beelink mini PCs was the USB 4 on the front. I work from home and have my work setup with dual monitors to my work laptop via a USB-C dock. When I’m done working I simply unplug a single USB-C cable from my work laptop and plug it into the mini pc to swap my whole setup over to my personal computer

I agree, the AMD SER6 Pro is one of the best bangs for the buck out there. While it's by no means a high-end gaming PC, it's perfect as a daily driver PC for general purpose use, and plenty fast for office apps, photo editing, and moderate/retro gaming. Awesome unit and it can be had right now for under $600.

Patrick, after watching all of STH videos on micro PCs. I bought a Beelink tiny PC. Imaged her old hard drive on a ssd, installed it and she is happy and amazed with her little PC. We travel to AZ for the winter and the Beelink is in her suitcase. Fast, reliable, quiet, portable and powerful.

Unfortunately she doesn’t give me credit. Many thanks for the reviews. Now I’m looking to retire my tower PC.

Did I say she loves her mini Bee PC. 🎉🎉🎉

Great Review: There are lots of clones in this formfactor thanks to your influence Patrick, I've grabbed some UM690 AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX units and its a solid Machine, the 2.5Gb is nice and I used it as a build slave for cross compiling as its all about CPU and Ram so a dirt cheap almost disposable home office solution, A good low cost "mini server" if you add an external drive for backup... This newer AMD 7735HS is all about low power. If they did a barebones so you could add the NVME and Ram that would be a win.

Glad to see that AMD boxes are finally shipping with USB4 ports. I do wish that at this point the mini-pc makers just drop the SATA interface. I’d much rather have say a second M.2 port instead, especially on a more expensive kit like this one. And I wish Bee Link would sell these things as barebones or offer more configs on their site. Also, looking forward to the 7745/7840/M780/RDNA3 iGPUs in the mini-PCs.

The Beelink Ser5 I got for $380 has been absolutely fantastic!😁

[semosesam]

Great video! Thanks for covering an eGPU dock along with these mini PCs, I think it's a really interesting use case. I agree, though, the Razer dock is comically large. Would love to see you review the OneDock eGPU! FINALLY there's a tiny eGPU dock to match these tiny PCs!!!

A very solid Mini PC, I got one last week and it's pretty nice. Runs all stress tests flawlessly, I even teste couple of hours gaming on this. In some reviews I also see a version with 1xDP and 1xHDMI but I don't see that version anymore.

[neilquinn]

I have this miniPC and it's my favorite. Quiet and snappy and still affordable. Make sure you update to the 1.15 firmware to keep it quiet. The 7735HS chip is like 95% as good as the 6900HX but hundreds of dollars cheaper. The 7735HS is just a rebranded 6800H chip from last year.

finally in the last few weeks some sellers started to import those things to turkey (trying to buy them from abroad as a singular person is really hard due to customs), but now the price they are sold domestically is unreasonably high, even after accounting for the embarassing exchange rates we currently have... maybe one day i might buy one... until then, old laptops it is.

[questionablecommands]

4:41 Honestly, I'd probably take the SSD out of its protective cover. In my experience, the drive itself is a fraction the size of the 2.5in enclosure and the SATA mount is soldered directly to the PCB. This means you can probably mount the SSD to the provided header and hardly cover the fan at all.

[Chris.Brisson]

GTR7 with the 7940HS is what we oughta be lookin' at.

[rhekman]

I'd argue those "Ryzen 7000 Series" stickers are borderline deceptive. All we can learn from it is "AMD is selling this cpu in 2023", with no clue as to what features or performance to expect.

[EcksGamer]

I mainly came to watch to make sure it supports 2.5" drives because i am planning on buying one and i own a old 1tb SSD that i would slap inside of it.

[ndupontnet]

I was ready to buy the GTR6 and couldn't decide against the SEI12 PRO with the i7, due to the lack of thunderbolt, and the format. I think I'll order this one today ! Thanks.

Ii bought a Beelink SER 6 PRO MAX several months ago. One thing I noticed about the 2 covers, they have different mesh sizes. If the air in the room has a lot of particulate matter in it I would use the smaller mesh, if the air is cleaned and filtered I would use the large mesh size for better cooling efficiency.

[tmcarter]

I just bought this same mini; and tonight when you did this; your points almost mirrored my bullet points about this unit; I am more than satisfied and happy with this unit...

[VideogamesAsArt]

Looking forward to seeing the Radeon 780M miniPCs from both minisforum and beelink!
