Pros & Cons
Cons
It's annoyingly whiney. It gets hot to the touch and kicks a lot of heat out the back to the cables. Comes with win 11 pro, but that is painfully slow, i ended up putting popos (ubuntu linux fork) on it.
Highlights
Quality
Liked the ease of use, very good setup.
Quality mini pc, easy to complete windows 11 pre-installed.

If they shipped with bios set to give priority of the usb device first, then a completely headless, network install would have ... Read More
Packaging/appearance
The unit was well packed, quick and easy to setup and so far looks to be doing everything it should.

I subsequently replaced windows with linux and everything mostly works, although the problems are linux/driver issues rather th... Read More
I spent some time comparing one model against the other before settling on the beelink 12th gen intel alder lake-n100 processor.
Compared to the asus , this thing is pretty much silent and runs much cooler.

I decided to give windows 11 a go before installing linux mint and after assessing the performance ive decided to stick with windows 11 on it

The beelink only uses about 25w of power so i don’t mind leaving it on to act as a server as well as using it for simple tasks

It’s tiny and the power supply is built in so it doesn’t need an external “brick” power supply

If you need a high power pc for gaming video editing and other cpu gpu intensive stuff then this is not for you but as a daily driver for email web and photos it rocks

Very low power consumption but powerful enough to run a decent home server with multiple vms
