Beelink SER8 Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS(8C/16T up to 4.9GHz), 32GB DDR5 RAM 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD, Mini Gaming Computer Support 4K@144Hz Triple Display, WiFi6, BT5.2, HDMI+DP, USB4

Bought this to run VMs on in order to save resources on my dev laptop (which is now 5 years old). It has twice the cores and twice the threads of said top-of-the-line very expensive laptop, at a fraction of the price. All that, and it takes up hardly any space, uses hardly any power, and stays cool with its tiny, quiet, fan. Looks hilarious next to my husband's giant server, which he's going to replace with a different tiny box soon. We could have gotten a smaller house if this stuff had been around 13 years ago, though he'd still need room for all those monitors.Unless you're a gamer and need a separate graphics card, this is a great replacement for a more traditional desktop tower, especially if you're on a tight budget or work in a small space. (Or live in California and have ridiculous power bills.)

This is my 2nd Beelink computer and I couldn't be happier with the performance and quality of the machine. Easy to setup, quiet operation, smooth 4K video editing, 2.5gbps transfer rates over to my NAS devices. If you are on the fence, no need to be, buy it and try it for yourself.

This thing exceeded my expectations. I upgraded to a faster 24GB kit of ram. Sometimes my bluetooth or WiFi won’t work when i boot up but if i reboot everything is fine. It’s not too much trouble as it boots up in a couple of seconds. It never dies on me after it’s been working. It only boots up dead on occasion. Maybe 1/20. But i think i paid $300 or less for the thing and it’s way better than using my laptop and an extended display monitor. I run 2 dedicated screens for work I’ll do some 3D modeling, productivity, I tried playing some older games and ran benchmarks. The integrated graphics are better than I expected. You can play most games on medium settings 1080P or 2K even.

I"m loving this thing-- wanted one for a good while. It's SMALL-- fits perfectly on my desk with lots of room to spare. I have a powered USB hub plugged in to as NOT to wear out the usb connectors moving things around frequently. It's WAY more powerful than the optiplex 9010 it's replacing--and uses LESS electricity for MORE capabilities. Video is GREAT-- even good for Gaming- which I don't do but that means my video work will be a breeze on this I turn it on when I first come into my office and CAN NOT HEAR it-- and I'm sitting less than 2 ft. from it.. The plastic casing is - to me MORE protective than metal. All in all I LOVE this thing.. WELL WORTH the price and then some.

I bought this to replace an aging laptop for my home office. I mostly use Microsoft 365 in the cloud, but wanted to be able to run programs for design and 3D printing (multiple slicers, Fusion 360, Blender, Inkscape, etc.). I'm running everything on wifi right now, and it's going well. So far this runs everything fast enough for me, which means it is at least as fast my 2015 MacBook Pro. Navigating Windows 11 was a bit of a change, but I logged into my old Microsoft account to please my new masters.I used HDMI to connect to a cheap monitor. I bought a portable monitor for a second screen and plugged it into the USB-C port. It worked fine for one day, then nothing. After much troubleshooting, I found that I needed to reset the CMOS (using a paperclip in the hole on the front of the PC). Now it works fine. I can also run a monitor (but not the portable one) through the DP and ran 3 monitors while I was troubleshooting. (Not enough room on my desk to keep that going, but it is nice.)I use the portable monitor, headphones, or a bluetooth speaker for sound and bought a camera for video calls. I did add a usb hub with SD card support. Everything has been plug-and-play so far. Our house is a mix of new and old tech, but I have been able to access everything I want so far. It will even print to my printer that my old MacBook refused to find starting last year, although I had to trick Windows to install the drivers. I would recommend this as a decent household or work PC.

Liked:* seemed to be quality hardware in a tiny package* reasonable price* about ten seconds from power button to desktop* expandable* linux compatible, but check how your linux version handles UEFI. (F7 for BIOS)* cool to the touch when operatingLess liked:* unclear from description which operating system was actually installed* default boot order needed to be changed (delete key for boot options)* only four USB connections (I have an accessory to hook three USB devices to one USB port)My earlier review somehow violated 'community standards', so this is as bland, but informative, as I can make it.

This is good little computer. It is capable for what I need it for, email, web surfing, 3d modeling, and office suite products. I may use this for software development work as well and I do not see there will be any issues. There is one thing that is a huge let down, especially for users that just wants a computer out of the box and works. Here's the thing, it will work out of the box, the the windows 11 pro version installed has already reached end of life (support) so you have to update it. It is not a simple windows update click button.I wish it has more usb a/c ports even though I haven't used all of them yet, I guess I am just used to having more on my desktop pc. For the price, I got it for (lighting deal) the hardware and performance is pretty good, except the OS.

Awesome computer works great for AutoCAD LT.
