Pros

It more than meets my expectations and i am very impressed with the beelink mini s. No complaints, highly impressed and super happy.

Beelink mini s with the energy efficient quad-core intel celeron n5095 processor. It's slightly powerful than a pi 4 which is this thing's biggest competition. But this machine is a lot more powerful and versatile than raspberry pi, and cheaper too! T...  Read More

It handles the most common use cases flawlessly. The incredibly compact footprint/size of the unit is really a benefit.

Samsung 850 evo m. Gb is well upgradable so i would recommend getting the bigger hard disk option. Gb rom is much faster than the usb ssd on the other tested mini pc, 850 vs 550 mb/s. The ram slot is upgradeable to 16gb which is a bonus.



Cons

Typical chinese junk, strenghtening the sterotype. Tech support is horrendous. They give cursory support at best.

Shipping

After confirming my system was still under the 1 year warranty, they collected my shipping information and sent a replacement.

Packaging/appearance


Nothing incredibly intensive is running on it yet, but it is capable of hardware transcoding due to the igpu on the celeron.

Competitiveness


I had a quick snag with trying to upgrade using a no-name 2666 memory module, and it would not boot, but as soon as i got silic...  Read More


I bought this for my wife's use.


Any of my ryzen based pc’s will crash trying to send hd audio to my denon 988 receiver for htpc use.
