Beelink Mini S12 Mini PC, Intel N95 (4C/4T, up to 3.4GHz), 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, Desktop Computer Support Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz, WiFi 6, BT5.2, NAS, Low Power

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.

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.

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.

This PC works well for non-compute intensive tasks such as web browsing, spreadsheets, text writing, 2D image editing. It does not do well with high CPU requirements like online 3D gaming (the max framerate is way too slow) or high-end computation like 3D image rendering. There is what I'd call weak tech support available from a public message website, but not all postings get answered. The ones that do seem to be about 90% effective, but it's not unusual for people to have to resolve their own problems. Overall I'm glad I switched from my former desktop PC (with an i5 CPU) because this unit is really very small, quiet, and uses far less power. I didn't realize how annoying the fan noise from my old PC actually was - the Mini is totally silent and that is a much greater benefit than I expected. I do a fair amount of 3D computation, and I do miss the CPU power my old machine had - but you get what you pay for. The fact that it's made in China and not in the US does bug me a bit - but we all live in the real world.

Fantastic mini PC for a home server. I’m really happy with the speed, overall performance, and size of it. It’s a little louder than my old mini PC, but isn’t noticeable and the increase in efficiency and performance is worth it.

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.

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.

I have 4 Beelink Mini PCs and am experiencing an issue with 2 of them. This Beelink Mini has a fan issue that produces a loud noise. When the fan is running, the PC slows to a crawl. It's affordable and meets needs such as browsing and coding, but it doesn't last long enough to reccomend.
