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

I needed a small PC to run piano and music theory learning software interfaced with a digital piano keyboard and video monitor. This little one pound beast is amazing. It boots extremely fast, due to its operating system residing on a Solid State Drive versus a traditional Dard Disc. I would be comfortable using this machine for a number of complex tasks as well. An absolute steal at the price. Highly recommend.

Ok guys, when it comes to mini Pcs, this has got to be the top. From the processor, to the amount of RAM, even down to the SSD inside with an expansion slot...I mean come on! Something this small should not have room for additional hard drives! But inside is has a 2.5 port for an additional SSD. It already has 512gb.

I like the performance and the size of it is fantastic you could bring it anywhere its a laptop without a screen

In addition to its compact size, this tiny mini PC offers two RAM slots for even faster operations. In fact, it performs better than my current laptop. I got a cheap travel laptop with the same CPU (8th gen i5-8279U) and I love how fast it is. Having two RAM slots definitely makes a difference. This CPU appears to be a viable choice for the most recent cost-effective devices. I did not notice a significant difference from my wifes 11th gen i5 laptop. It was disappointing that it did not come with the SATA harness cables for adding additional storage, as it was shown on several YouTube videos. In the video I posted, you can hear the fan noise. The noise is neither loud nor quiet. It supports 4K displays without any problems. It is an excellent value, especially with a coupon. A VESA mount is included!

Very easy to set up; worked without any problems. I also like Windows 11.

Purchased thinking the issues may have been resolved - I have prime, worth a shot. They havent as of 4.15.22. Computer comes with Windows 10, not 11. Customer service is non-existent; dont even bother with it. Also, the aux port creates a static impulse frequently as noted by other reviewers. Just buy something else and dont waste your time and money.

Love the small foot print. The first one I had was returned as it would not wake up or start up.

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.

I went with the Core i5 8259u processor with the 16GB of RAM, giving enough resources for my everyday PC needs. Its hard to believe that this mini computer is so much smaller and significantly quieter than a traditional desktop pc. Eventhough when I put the Beelink under load, I can hear the fan kick in, but still quieter. My old pc was so big that it went underneath my desk. With this mini one, i have mounted it on the back of the monitor, which is a great bonus for an uncluttered desktop.
