4 Cores 8th Core i5-8259U 3.8Ghz Beelink Mini PC 16GB RAM 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD Win 10 Pro Sei8 Mini Computer Support 4K Dual HDMI, Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi 6, Gigabit Ethernet,4USB3.0

br>My oldest son, who is in high school, required a computer in his room for remote learning, so it was a no-brainer for me to purchase a Mini PC rather than a desktop for him. He didn't need a laptop because he didn't need to transport it, and a laptop with similar specs to this Mini PC would have cost a lot more. This Sei8 Mini PC looks almost identical to the U57 model except for the shiny top surface and better designed ventilation grills on the side and back. br>br>I happen to have a few spare desktop monitors and portable monitors at home, so getting him this power horse Mini PC at a budget price was a no-brainer. br>br> However, because my son will be taking CAD and some computer programming classes in High School, I decided to get a memory upgrade to 16GB and a disk storage upgrade to 512GB instead of the 8GB RAM and 256GB disk space on my U57. br>br>To be honest, 8GB of RAM is plenty for most people running Windows 10, but I wanted to get him more because he'll be running some desktop software that requires a lot of processing power. br>br>I like that this Mini PC comes with an Intel 4 Core i5 CPU and can be upgraded to 32GB of memory if needed! It also has an Intel Iris Graphics chip, which allows it to support two 4K monitors via HDMI cables. With this computer, my son will be able to run any program, play games, and watch movies. br>br>I'm also relieved to see that no USB2 ports have been added. They only used USB3 because there was no other option. There are 0 ports and 1 USB port on this device. There are two USB ports on the back and two on the front, as well as a USB-C port. For easy access, use the C port. It has a LAN port for RJ45 network cable, but who uses cable for internet these days? This beast, of course, has WiFi, which uses the Intel Wifi6 protocol for fast web browsing. br>br>What I'm most impressed with is the small form factor, which doesn't get hot because the internal fan kicks in when the CPU is crunching, and it has excellent air ventilation, dispersing and circulating hot air out of the case. They really know how to design a computer in a small box, which is very impressive. br>br>I am extremely pleased with the Beelink Mini PC, and their computer series has won my heart. I don't think I'll ever buy one of those big, clunky desktop computers that take up so much space and are inferior to these Mini PCs. br>br>My only complaint about these Mini PCs is that their AC power cord cables seem to be too short; they're definitely long enough to plug into any outlet near the desk, but I just wish they were about twice as long for more flexibility; however, this isn't a deal breaker for sure considering how much you get from this amazing beast. br>br>They also include 2 HDMI cables as well as a mounting bracket for monitor for those who want to mount this Mini PC behind For this purpose, one of the HDMI cables is extremely short so that the cables behind the monitor can be better managed. br>br>I give it a ten out of five! This Mini PC comes highly recommended by me for anyone looking for a new computer for their home or office. br>You will not be sorry, and you will not be able to buy another desktop after this. I'm sure I'll be a return customer because I was blown away by their design and performance. Beelink, you've done a fantastic job! Keep up the good work, and thank you for creating such a small but powerful computer. br>I hope my video and photos were helpful. Please use the helpful button below if they were. Thank you very much!.

I purchased this mini PC with the expectation of having a powerful desktop computer with the portability of a laptop - and I was not disappointed. I bought it primarily as a hub for zoom meetings and to allow me to move from home to office. When I received the package, the machine's specifications felt great, and I was eager to try it out. I was never able to get back up and running, unfortunately. When I first opened the package, I noticed hardware in a bag along with instructions on how to install the hard disk. REALLY? They expect me to open up the CPU and fiddle with these tiny little components in order to get the controls to work properly? I tried, but I couldn't get it to work. The instructions were terrible, and it was nearly impossible for me to put together the flimsy little pieces and install them in the units - As a result, I quit. I attempted to start the machine to see if it would do anything - it did not. but to no avail I was extremely dissatisfied with the product and had no choice but to return it - which is a piece of cake if you do it through Amazon. I'm not sure if it was just the model I got because all of their mini PCs have received positive reviews, but when purchasing a PC like this, you should be able to plug and play - You don't have to be a computer technician to work in this field.

On my Beelink Mini PC 16GB 512GB NVMe M, I've been running Linux Fedora 33. For the past two weeks, I've been using number 2 exclusively. It's hooked up to a 43-inch RCA 3840x2160 monitor (well, television). I also have two USB hard drives connected to my computer. Advantages: br>br> br>br>So far, everything has gone smoothly. It has made me very happy. br>br>Installing Fedora 33 from a live USB disk was fairly simple, though I did have to delete the Windows partitions before installing Linux. br>br>The computer is noticeably quieter than my previous laptop (circa 2012). When I put the Beelink to work, I can occasionally hear the fan start up, but it's still much quieter than the laptop. br>br>Because I don't use it for gaming, I can't comment on how it performs as a gaming system. I never booted into Windows, instead booting into a Linux live USB stick and reformatting the system disk. br>br>I'd been using the monitor with my old laptop (1920x1080) for a while. When using full resolution, the small font is an issue. I'll need to increase the size of the font I'm using. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. br>br>I wish I could have purchased a version that was not subject to the Microsoft tax. I never turned on my computer and booted into Windows. There is no reason why I should have had to pay for a Microsoft Windows license. br>br>I purchased a 512GB NVMe M SSD. I have two SSDs, but I need more storage. I have a large number of family photographs. External drives are probably a better option than the internal SSD, but that is my only regret at the moment.
