Great value to performance ratio
Bought the 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD version. Good quality and design, very quiet and reliable. Surprisingly it shipped with Windows 11 Pro, nice to be able to use Microsoft Remote Desktop to manage it. I added a 2TB SATA SSD and upgraded the RAM to 32GB. Installed Plex Media Server, it's a perfect media center computer without spending much. Almost pure Intel in terms of internal components, so it'll be easy to maintain. It's easy to open the case and work on. Not screaming fast but it's not slow either. Perfect for basic desktop productivity too. I highly recommend this Beelink mini PC, it has a lot of bang for the buck.

Great price, and great performance.
Very impressive, I use this for watching media in my bedroom as my Tv is very lack luster in smart features. This little pc is very fast in windows 11 and impressed me with how quiet it is, how easy it was to set up and the price.

Great for a streaming media library server
I found out Plex requires you to be fully online to work. Had it running on my Nvidia Shield. I bought this to be a server for my home multimedia library using Jellyfin and it exceeded expectations. It's small and lightweight, quiet, runs really well, and has so far handled everything I've thrown at it (1080p and 4K video streams). It even has a generous SDD. I was also pleasantly surprised that Windows 11 was preinstalled on this $150 machine. I'm running Ubuntu on it, but the fact that I can dual boot Windows if I need to is a plus. I would recommend this completely to anyone wanting to run a Jellyfin server for their media.

Nice little PC
Okay, this is designed for a TV (or two), and tucks away nicely.Add a wireless keyboard/mouse combo (not included) and you can easily add this to an entertainment center.Or you could make a budget 2-monitor workstation since 32in 4K TVs are cheaper than large PC Monitors.You could also try a HDMI to PC Video adapter.Default audio output will be through the TV.The biggest problem so far is not the PC but the invasive Windows OS. So many nagging non-features interrupt use, particularly a millennial neediness regarding that USELESS Edge browser. Dozens of nuisance downgrades need to be tweaked to undo changes no one wanted let alone asked for. It's not Beelink's fault per se, but they did include this version of Windows.The WiFi 6 is pretty fast, but it does drop pretty regularly. I wouldn't recommend this for streaming or those all-or-nothing long downloads that require a babysitter. You can always hardwire it or get a WiFi dongle.It has 4 USB3.2 Gen 2 (Type A) ports: 2 front, 2 back. You'll probably want to buy a hub or at least a USB C adapter.It comes with 2 M.2 PCle 2280 slots, but one is occupied by the SSD. It's upgradable to 4TB max between both slots according to the description.It seems to be already at the maximum 16GB memory, so I'm not sure why it mentions upgradable since almost all of the models listed are 16GB.It's quiet. I haven't exactly challenged the processor yet, but I'm not hearing noise.

Excellent value SFF PC for home lab needs. Great reputation among the DIY community.
An excellent little SFF PC that works perfectly for my needs. Paired with a NAS, I was able to set this up exactly as I had envisioned. Great value for the price and the specs are exactly what I needed in this small form factor. Runs perfectly well and has just the right speed and memory for what I needed.

Great for a simple plex server
My old plex server died and I needed a replacement. The beelink showed up and had zero issues setting up windows, even connected to a network. I installed Avast antivirus and threw Plex server on there. In about an hour I was streaming test content via plex.This little guy has zero issues with 480p DVD quality streaming. I also tested up to 1080p and that was fine (although sometimes a noticeable few seconds, <5, to buffer). Most of my collection is ripped DVDs so that's fine.It totally choked on a 4K stream attempt. Don't buy this if you want to stream 4K.A single 480 plex stream uses about 25% of the CPU. I usually stream to a single TV so that's perfect. It should work ok for ~3 streams but I haven't maxed it out yet.All my data is going in an external drive caddy that connects via USB.I have not yet configured it to also work as a file server using windows 11 but see no major roadblocks. Its a standard windows 11 install.For my use case this little device was cheap, easy to setup and seems to work perfectly. We'll see how it holds up in the long run.

No Wireless or bluetooth or support.
Purchased this in August 2023. Sat unopened until yesterday. Intended to replace old style PC. When iit came up in Windows, the wireless was not available. Wasn't going to keep windows anyway, so I loaded Linux Mint new version. Still no wireless. Reason that it might be hardware since two different OS come up with the same problem. Going to try UBUNTU, just in case, but I fear the worst.I am writing this review in Linux Mint and on the defective box. Am hooked up to wired network. Other wireless devices work as long as I rely on the receivers that came with the units. Wireless in the box is not working at all. Another year; still haven't heard from Beelink ech supportGoing to use this wired while I try UBUNTU. Not going to open what might be a defective unit. Only wish I had turned it on within the return period..Buyer beware. This is on me.Update: Bluetooth is not loading. Icon is there but nothing happens when you click on it. No wireless, no bluetooth. Anything with an external receiver works fine.Lemon??

Small and power efficient
This has been a great first NAS. Super tiny and power efficient is great. Never ending problem of running out of space. Using it with personal photos and jellyfin server.
