This has been a solid purchase. Runs Linux Mint excellently with no lag. Very fast. Also makes a great Chrome OS Flex box as well. Windows 11 pro was kind of slow but that's not what I bought it for. Very happy I made the purchase.

I own 3 Mini s N95 12th Gen. All work great for basic stuff but also for all the AV techs out there.... I use these for NDI receivers and BitFocus control... and they work Awesome! Can use one hooked to two projectors via dual Hdmi outs. Then send what ever you want to either screen. About 100ms or so latency so not deal for Imag live. But for sending PowerPoint or video its great as can send presentation to screens and speaker notes to confidence monitor all over Cat6 etc... Used two Beelinks to send to 4 projectors over NDI with Mad Mapper for a Projection Mapping show and it worked Perfect and was very stable! Of course you still need fast router/switch and Pro level Main Computer sending the NDI streams. Worked MUCH better then any of the Birdog NDI stuff I tried and is cheaper. Can Set Mini s to auto start and open NDI monitors to each projector in installs as well. Had an Issue with the 3 one ordered and Hebe from support got back to me within hours and had issue fixed within 8 hours. So Great customer service as Well! Highly recommend! Note stay away from the N100, N200 as although better graphics potential the processor base speeds are way to slow. Make sure what ever you buy the base processor clock speed is at least 1.7ghz. Unless your main concern is power draw then N100/ N200 are good but will not receive stable NDI. First two bought a year ago and working like new still, Super quiet

I bought this mini computer a week ago when it was 20% off. I really like the size, performance, features, and low cost. The hardware this machine has along with Windows 11 Pro just can't be beat for the price you pay. I bought this specific machine because of the dual 2.5 Gb network adapters and because it supports OpenWrt. At present I am using it as an HTPC but if I later upgrade my Internet to 2 Gbps, I want to configure the machine to use OpenWrt as most routers do not have 2.5 Gb network adapters for the WAN "and" LAN ports unless you spend about $400 for a very advanced one. I would recommend this PC for techie types like myself as documentation is extremely sparse and user manuals or guides on their web site are generic, and not specifically for the Beelink model you purchased. Also following their guidance on setting up Wake On LAN (WOL) resulted in both 2.5 Gbps NICs failing to work, and finding how to fix that was not fun. I will admit that a non-techie person would likely not have use for, or try to configure WOL, but just saying. My machine came with Windows 11 Pro (v21H2) pre-installed, and that is about a year old, but Windows Update took it to Windows 11 Pro v22H2 without issue. The drivers on the machine's SSD and on their web site are old and for Windows 10 (at least regarding network drivers). I really like the fact that it has two 2.5 Gb network adapters but they are Intel i225-V model which have known issues, so be careful if you try to update drivers or change the power management settings. I highly recommend you DO NOT check the "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power" option on the power management tab in the driver's properties unless you want to go through the grief I did to get the network cards working again. The WiFi 6 works well. The max speed the WiFi connects at is 600 Mbps, and I would have liked a better WiFi card in the computer, but for what I paid for this PC, this was not a show stopper for me.

I bought this as a Plex Media Server with the specific goal of using Quick Sync for hardware transcoding. Everything worked as expected. Here is what I did: Installed Ubuntu Server 22.04 Upgraded the kernel to 15.19 (needed for /dev/dri but in later versions of Ubuntu you should not need to do this to get support for /dev/dri) Installed Docker and Portainer Pulled the most popular Plex Image Passed /dev/dri to the container Played a 1080p video on a client but set it to 240p and confirmed that hardware transcoding was enabled and working.

Very performance and super quiet PC for everyday tasks. Web browsing, documents, video, this mini PC can do it all without any stuttering or stalling. Very happy with it. I combined it with a 2k monitor and Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it's perfect!
