Beelink Mini PC - 4 Cores i5-8279U (Up to 4.1GHz) SEi8 Mini Desktop Computer - 16GB DDR4 500GB SSD Small PC, WiFi 5, 4K Dual HDMI, BT5.0, Gigabit Ethernet

If you are looking for a computer for a home media server, then you should buy one of these. There is no need for a graphics card since this mini pc has an Intel i5-8279 which has Intels Iris Plus Graphics 655. That supports up to 3 monitors. Also, when it comes to using this CPU for transcoding on a media server, I have read that people managed to hit 24 simultaneous 1080P to 720P transcodes or more. I wont be using it for that many, but it shows how good these processors are.

Fast set-up, big-time performance from a mini computer (5 x 5 x 1.5)

Unboxing complete and I was pleasantly surprised. Nice form factor, came with two HDMI cables, bracket and hardware. Though I have a billion hdmi cables they were a nice touch as one is super short and ideal for rear mount. Note the longer cable in my monitor photo is a separate display port cable so I can use my desk as a home office and dual screen my work laptop when needed, not connected to this PC.

My old Lenovo desktop finally died so I started the hunt for a new replacement but all of the Lenovos I found seemed to cost much more than what I valued them for and while searching Amazon for a new rig, I stumble upon the Beelink series of mini computers.

This PC is small so it can fit almost anywhere. It’s powerful enough to play a lot of less demanding video games. Works amazing for emails and Microsoft office. It comes with windows 11 and has the latest features that that offers. I’m really happy with purchase.

Ive switched over to the Apple ecosystem for most things. But still wanted a budget PC around, for a couple of Windows-only applications and some light PC gaming. This mini PC, basically the Windows version of a Mac Mini, seemed like a good choice to fill that gap.

I have an older Beelink i3, 5th gen model. It has worked flawlessly and is a great back up. So when a recent windows update bricked my desktop, I thought to get a more powerful Beelink.

I had an old desktop that need replaced that I needed to connect to a 65 in 4k tv and my XP-Pen drawing tablet. Ive tested and it works great. The small profile is perfect for my new desk. The video I uploaded shows a video being played on my 65inch tv while other screen is still on. I have my headphones plugged in and it sounds great. Overall I definitely love the this mini PC and has replaced my old desktop perfectly.

So far so good. Run some heavy software on it and it does the job great. Actually really impressed.

I previously purchased this unit with Windows 10 Pro on it. I convinced my brother to purchase the same unit SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE it was advertised as coming with Windows 10 Pro. Instead, his unit came with Windows 11 Pro installed. I have been pleased with my Windows 10 Pro unit, but Windows 11 might as well be malware with its mandatory creation of an online Microsoft account, completely rearranged desktop environment, etc. I had to use a hack to bypass the mandatory account creation.
