Pros & Cons
Pros
It's invisible, fast (as much as one needs for a normal domestic pc) and silent. Compact and light weight.
The beelink u57 thoughtfully comes with a mounting bracket you could use to put the device behind a screen or under a desk. As well as dual hdmi powered by onboard intel iris 6100 graphics, the device has two high speed usb 3. Ports. Comes with a moun... Read More
Boot time is quick, it only takes about 15 secs. Gb free on first boot. Ram upgrade to 16gb (max) easy. Comes with ribbon connectors and mounting screws.
The beelink u57 has a great spec for that home office use case. For a mini pc it does all that my dell desktop did and runs windows 11 which my dell couldn't.
Cons

Highlights
Quality
It's perfect for my use and i am very pleased with the purchase.
It doesn't get hot, the fan is very quiet and the picture quality is first class.
With the devices extremely low power use, you could also just put the computer to sleep and it would wake up instantly like a tablet.

Price
My only gripe was, i bought it for £276 and the next day the price is now £254.

Competitiveness
I added extra memory and a 1tb ssd.
Added a 1tb hard disc for data, reconfigured windows to use it.
I bought for low price, but acts like higher priced pc.
I got the 16gb version for 260 quid but looks like they've sold all those now and the 8g/256g is the same price.
