BeelinkGTI14 AI Mini PC, Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (16T/22C, up to 5.1GHz), 64GB DDR5 2TB PCIe4.0 SSD Mini Desktop Computer, Dual 2.5G LAN/Fingerprint Sensor/WiFi 7/ BT5.4/USB4.0/ 145W PSU Gaming PC

Liked the hardware. Very overpowered

Comprehensive and powerful minicomputer. I shall be using it for video editing in the near future, and I think it will do a nice job of it.

In real computational tasks it performs more than 5 times slower than my 4 years old desktop computer. One of the selling point was the opportunity to work with docking station and external video card. Well, it does not. Tried 2 docking stations and two video cards. The cards were not even detected. For the money it is possible to build mini or micro size PC with desktop processor. That would be much better use of money.

USB ports stopped working reliably after about 6 months. The computer was a server with minimal applications on it, yet my Windows got corrupted system files, couldn't install a cumulative Windows 11 update, AND could not run the Windows Update Diagnostic in order to diagnose the update problem. I also got obscure error messages moving files between USB connected hard drives. Overall it's been nothing but problems and I will not be touching this Beelink brand in the future.

I’ve been using this mini PC for over a month now, and I’m very impressed. I run it with two screens, and unlike my 2018 Dell XPS with 16GB RAM that often lagged, this mini PC handles multitasking effortlessly. Couldn’t be happier!

I purchased the 2TB version thinking that it was going to have a single 2TB NVMe drive. It turns out, it was two 1TB drives. I had purchased an additional 2TB NVMe thinking that I'd be able to add the second drive and do RAID 1, but that didn't end up happening. The drive was extremely difficult to access. There's a tray installed over top of the drives and a very small ribbon cable attached with pretty much no room to access the port, but it's doable with patience and a steady hand and lots of light. The other issue that I had was trying to install Windows Server 2019 / 2022. I couldn't find any drivers that would work for any of the Network interfaces, hardwired or wireless. Ended up installing Proxmox and virtualized the network cards to two Windows VM's and that worked flawlessly.In the end, it worked for my purposes, but I wanted to have redundant storage and wanted to install Windows Server for a small, quiet and efficient server. I understand that's probably not the target audience for a machine like this, but I was trying to make it work. Just for anyone else out there, Proxmox 8.4 loaded perfectly fine and I was able to partition the drive for a 128GB for Proxmox and then created partitions for containers. The Windows VM's boot in about 10 seconds and are extremely responsive.

It’s powerful machine. More than expected.
