Pros

The mini is fast 4. Gb, super easy to setup and fast af. Thermal design is good, cpu runs 20-30 degc above ambient for all office type apps.

The beelink ser5 mini pc is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a reliable and powerful compact computer. The small form factor is perfect for a minimal look with no desk clutter, without sacrificing performance.



Cons

Quality


It's really sturdy, feels premium and well built.


The quality is holding up so far.


The stream was crispy and the cpu didn’t go over like 0.

Price


For the money (<$250 incl a $80 coupon) this is a great little box which i would buy again.


Great deal, processor/memory/speed you can't go wrong!


Its really zippy and a very low price


It does get a bit hot but otherwise i'd say it's a good value - but i also got it on sale.

Shipping


They verfied my purchase and sent me a new power cord within a week - great customer service to this team!


They replied really fast, and i was surprised by their answer.

Packaging/appearance


Thus little thing is packed with performance.

Competitiveness


I also use fxsound which tended to switch from the realtek speaker output to what the pc sensed was the sound in my acer monitors.


I have another 2tb of ssd i use for backing up metadata and another 1tb of disk for the plex metadata itself.
