@@hermanwooster8944 i hope so man, i mean i was just repeating info I’ve seen plenty times online relating to most mini pc’s. I found this out when researching them as I’ve been wanting to buy a very budget pc for gaming.. as long as i could run gta v and call of duty and racing games, im fine…. ID prefer a mini pc for the size obviously because I’m looking to replace my Xbox one setup; i will NOT get a typical setup… i will NOT get a monitor, I’ll play on controller still and on the same tV just replacing the Xbox one setup.. but i don’t wanna have a huge pc case box under my tV.. a nice small pc would be nice.. but i myself like to mess with things later on and id like it to be self serviceable/ upgradable, which I’ve seen the bigger cases are better for… so i don’t know… i really wanted to do 2-3 floating shelves under the tv to hold the Xbox (I’ll still keep it connected) and the mini pc on another shelf under it.. the shelves are the size of an horizontal Xbox one so not much space for a big heavy vertical pc..

These mini PCs are absolutely fantastic for general and productivity users. I've been recommending them to a lot of people -- basically, anyone who isn't a gamer -- and even got one for a family member earlier this year. Relatively cheap, more than adequately powerful, upgradable, very compact, and power efficient. What's not to like?

I continue to be impressed with this miniPC. Never misses a beat, very stable and just works. If I want more power, I can plug my phone in, run DeX, and Tha immediately gives me access to image editing with Snapseed, and even 4k video editing, with a decent monitor, mouse and keyboard, with Lumafusion. This works so well I'm seriously considering deferring buying an AMD APU based miniPC until the next generation.

I bought one of these from Amazon about 3 weeks ago and it's probably the best investment in a pc I've made in a long time. The only thing I changed was the m.2 from an Intel m.2 to a Samsung 980Pro m.2 I think the Crucial memory is adequate is it seems to run very smoothly. The installed Windows 11Pro is great too. It's kind of an overkill for what I'm currently using it for and that is it is plugged into my Samsung 40" flat panel. I needed a way to get a browser that works on the internet and so I could watch television programs from Comcast X1 connection. I have a X1 in my living room, but because Comcast doesn't support 2017 Samsung TV any longer with streaming TV, I was forced into this configuration. It works for me. But I do use this pc for other things too. Gaming to a small degree, but may get something for that later on.

Uses about 2W when running, up to 10W max, is totally silent, is faster than my old XPS13, has a great selection of ports and makes the SER 5 look huge. These mini PCs are already awesome, and are rapidly going to get better. It is a shame that most people don't know about them, but the margins are not large enough for retailers to sell these.

Linux also works great with only one issue with Wi-Fi not working when you restore from sleep but you can work around it easy enough. Plenty of scripts to fix it on Reddit. Otherwise it’s a great little unit. My son loves it and for half the price of a similar Intel NUC it is a fantastic option. Solid 9/10 for me.

I wouldn't say it's a great gaming PC, but if you're only playing games occasionally, and keep your expectations reasonable, you can play the occasional game when the work day is done. :)

I'm thinking about getting a mini PC for my large screen TV mostly because it does not take up a lot of room. But for my main computer that I use everyday I prefer a desktop computer. You have more options for adding USB devices and adding things like RGB LED lights, etc. You have much more room to customize your PC as much as you like. With a mini PC you are looking at a small black box with one or two USB inputs and a connection for a monitor. For an office PC or to attach one to a TV a mini PC is a good choice, for a main PC for myself no way.

My experience with every laptop/mini pc vs desktop pc, the laptop based CPUs in these systems are just too laggy and slow and ran far too hot and loud for my liking, compared to desktop CPU based systems! Even when just using Chrome the fan would rev up and the window would stutter and take a noticeable while to be responsive. When I went back to a Ryzen 5 5600G system from a Ryzen 5 5500U system, the difference was night and day. I will never go back to them! My 5600g scored 11162 in Cinebench R23 compared to your 7942 5560U.

Heating on Mini PCs is still a big issue. I had a BMAX B6 Pro that died on me in less than three months. My fault for doing too much on it. 😅 Also a really hot summer and a random blackout that killed it. Also crappy components as it used a noname m2 SSD card and a i3 motherboard that was discontinued a few years ago. But they'll likely get better. I'm get a new one eventually on a local retailer because it makes it easier with warranty and such.

12:20 I dunno, we make fun of the RX 6400 but it would probably actually work really well in the HP here. Assuming that motherboard supports PCIE 4, if it doesn't then the 6400 is a terrible choice. The alternative would be the GTX 1650, which is also a low power card, depending on the model. One would want to make sure to get the version with GDDR6 memory (Marked G6, as opposed to G5) but if one does then that's a perfectly competent low-end graphics card that will absolutely smoke the IGP in that APU. In Norway those can be found for 100-150 USD used, and just over 200 new. Though the low profile variants are unfortunately much more expensive, and I don't know if that case supports full size expansion cards.

This infomercial didn't care to mention that all Beelinks have a high failure rate (see all 1-2 star reviews on Amazon) within a few months to a year, so yeah it is good until it dies on you.

Mini PC's in general, including Beelink, have a failure rate of about 1.5% which is exactly the same failure rate as desktop Motherboards. Take into account the desktop graphics card failure rate of 5%, and PSU failure rates of >2% a Mini PC is statistically less likely to fail.

@@ElevatedSystems In your dreams! Chinese mini PC's in general, including Beelink, have at least 10% failure rate - this is the rate of 1-2 stars Amazon reviews, which everybody knows are overly positive and skewed with fake favorable reviews, so the real life failure rate is even higher than 10%. There are already official video bloggers of people buying NUCs after a failing mini PC. NUCs are also made in China but by tested technology and quality standards.

in the case of HP, you shouldn't have wiped the default installation because most people wouldn't bother to honestly. And it's a much truer representation of the experience HP curates for you at that price point

Unless...you don't like what H.P. presents. Just saying a little can be a lot. I don't see anything wrong w/doing that at all. H.P. & the others should, at the least, add a simple uninstall.

Depends on the computer but actually has it can I actually have a standard size PC and a mini PC they both pretty much have the same specs in them and my mini PC runs better

@Dtgray12 8 ай бұрын

Only problem is a lot of them aren't built to make it past a year (poor build quality). I really want a mini pc but I don't have the cash for a good mini pc. I have a good desktop pc with the added option of upgrading parts for the fraction of buying a new pc.

If my computer broke, I think would buy a Raspberry pi or a second-hand computer off eBay. And spend the rest of the budget on a bigger screen. Although, with a desktop, shouldn't you still have the keyboard etc. from the computer you are replacing?

I've got a SER 5 but it's the OS that lets it down. If they ran Widows 7 instead of 10 or 11 I'd be happier. Win 10 & 11 aren't for desktops, they're for sheep, they can't be significantly customised and are a devil's own job to install win 7 on. As a machine the SER gets a passmark. But with 10 or 11 I spend more time trying to figure out how to do what I already know how to in win 7 (or find out I can't) so productivity wise, out of the box without a dual boot, or knowledge of win 10/11 they are a nightmare.

@Kimberly-qb5zo Жыл бұрын

I agree. I thought Microsoft said that Win10 was going to be their last one & that they'd just continue to add updates. Anyone else hear that? I'd be happy going back to win 98!

How would the Beelink fair for me if I only use my PC for email, web surfing, Zoom-Skype...etc, very very simple photo editing, MS Office Suite work and watching streaming media movies? Any games I play I use a console for since I grew up on using console and find them better for me.
