BeelinkMINI-S12 Pro Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake-N100 Processor (up to 3.4GHz) Mini Computer, 16G RAM 500GB SSD Business Mini Desktop PC, Dual HDMI/WiFi6/BT 5.2/RJ45/WOL/Auto Power On

Cannot fault this at all. I bought it to be a media streaming server. Hasn't had a single fault yet. I installed Ubuntu, installed docker and Jellyfin. Works amazing. I can stream 4k and transcode it on the fly with not a single stutter.It's cheap to to run as it has low power requirements so I keep it running 24/7. Small enough to tuck away and never think about it again. I installed ssh and don't need it to be attached to a monitor.I connect it via ethernet so cannot comment on the WiFi capabilities.

Wow, it actually surprised me how good this tiny PC really is.First off, it won’t set any benchmark records for gaming, but as long as the games are light it will run them. Old DOS games no problem, even Fortnite will run.But the desktop performance shocked me, it’s snappy and fluid, making you think it has more than a 4 core intel N100 cpu. Web browsing and YouTube are smooth fast and 4K plays no problem. Office and windows in general work smoothly too.The thermals never reached above 80c and that’s during a video encode using handbrake, even the power consumption was excellent at a lowly 25 watts, at idle it's as low as 0.3 watts! Another amazing thing… it supports intel quicksync meaning H.265 and H.264 encoding is rapid and never dropped below 90FPS.Setting this up as a media server using plex or jellyfin is also a breeze and the incuded hardware encoding ensure video will be smooth and rapid during playback.Add another NVMe SSD and you can have a really amazing all round media server or desktop PCI love it, oh and I forgot, it’s tiny.

I personally couldn’t recommend this enough, I originally bought the 8gb ram, but seeing as I could double the Ram and overall performance for just £50 more is a no brainer, the pc is so small yet so powerful, it can handle multi tasking like gaming and streaming online with ease, for the price you won’t find better, I’ve had multiple custom pc builds but for the price of this I would choose it 100 times over, as expected if you overload the pc with tasks the fan will kick up and become more noticeable (nothing noticeable unless you are in a quite room) but apart from that there isn’t anything I could possibly pick at for this, amazing little device!

The computer was great when it worked but had a fault.After a number of try's to rectify the problem. Beelink requested that it be returned to themselves. A big mistake on my part.The item was tracked and signed for, Beelink said they could not find it and were investigating the problem. One month later nothing had been done and I believe nothing has or will be done.

This is a great little PC with decent performance for the form factor and good connectivity in terms of ports. The addition of two HDMI cables (short and long) and a mounting bracket is nice to have. However, despite what they say, Linux support is limited.The latest Linux kernel as of April 2023 doesn't support the N100 wireless or bluetooth chipsets due to a bug and Intel are seemingly not being very helpful fixing it from what I'm read. Initially Linux also didn't detect the true resolution of my monitor, defaulting to low resolution, but I manually set the kernel version to the very latest and this was fixed.Overall it's a great device and I'm happy I bought it, but having to mess about with kernel versions and resort to wired keyboard, mouse, ethernet, etc, is a bit frustrating.

First things first. The reviews and product description are too broad and unclear regarding storage as the term SSD is used too broadly.The device comes with a 500GB M.2 NVME SSD (the one that looks like RAM). On the bottom cover there is a 2.5 inch SATA SSD slot where you can expand the storage. The 2TB limit applies to the M.2 drive I doubt it will apply to the SATA one. I installed a 2TB SATA SSD and it works just fine but it was a tight fit the sata interface was half a millimeter off so I had to be a bit forcefull (remember any drive you install that is not bootable needs to be initialized in windows partition manager for it to appear). It's really silent. I use it for a home media server so haven't loaded it heavily. Watched a 4K video on my meta quest over my local network while downloading a large file and it was served quickly and flawlessly.Windows is clean, no bloatware that I could see. Great vallue too it will probably pay for itself in a year as the PC it replaced was a power hungry old desktop PC.

Very fast. Capable pc. Use it a media server. Plex. Plus shared drives. More than fast enough.

I got this to run Home Assistant on, to replace a raspberry Pi I was using and I've got to say it's brilliant for that purpose! It's been running exactly a month now and not required a single restart, my Raspberry Pi was needing lots of restarts as I have added so many devices that it just couldn't handle it. Not the Beelink though, it's been great thus far and runs home assistant a lot more speedily than a Rpi. Possibly overkill but for the price difference having something so much more capable for not all that much more money is a no brainer! It's very low power too, so wont be piling on the £££ on your electricity bill!I cant comment on it's abilities as a windows PC as I'm not using it for that but if you are here reading this wondering if it would make your HA experience less frustrating then the answer is 'Yes'
