I purchased this for my three young boys. I setup a media center and homework station for them off to the side of our living room. I mounted this mini PC on the back of a 40" Vizio TV. This mini PC is quite powerful. I haven't purchased a new PC in about 5 years and was pleasantly surprised at how quick this PC actually is. My last purchase was a Dell i7 of some sort from 2018. This new PC absolutely crushes my last PC on the benchmarks and it is simply snappy fast and quite noticeable even when doing simple tasks. I purchased this during Cyber Week and got an excellent deal. I think for the price, there likely isn't anything out there that is remotely comparable. This little PC is a beast. I do find the cooling fans to be a bit noisy when the PC is under heavy load, but for our uses, we hardly ever stress the system enough to begin with. The Ryzen 7 graphics are pretty good, and it will run most games on reduced settings. I personally have not tested too many modern games on this unit as of yet, but it does really well with the slightly older games that I might regularly play. The case seems quite solid and this PC is really small. Even though it is small, it still has more than enough in and out ports for most users. I have had zero issues with the PC so far, not a single hanging mouse or even a stutter. This is an excellent little machine in my opinion.

Mounted behind TV. Good little media server. Quiet and meets streaming needs. Graphics work well and size is easy to hide. Don't know about recent gaming possibilities, but use for older emulation and works well. Easy to setup out of the box.

I've owned this Mini PC for a few days now and I am quite pleased. For general use (web surfing, video streaming, email, productivity) it is very quick, and I've done some light gaming as well with settings turned down (for example, Fallout 4 runs well at 900p and medium detail). It is dead silent most of the time, though there is some fan noise when it is working hard as one would expect. Temps seem fine: 50-60C range. This is my first time using Windows 11, and although it takes up a lot of RAM (4gb at idle), I haven't had any major problems. Only (minor) issues that I've had are: 1) BIOS splash screen indicates that DEL key will bring up BIOS setup, but this does not work. Have to hit F7 to go to the boot menu, then select "Setup" from there, and 2) AMD Radeon display software gave an error when I tried to open it, saying the driver version did not match the Radeon software version; installing fresh drivers & software from AMD website fixed this. Very happy with this little PC so far, and I hope it will serve me well for years to come!

Overall im still satisfied with the unit. Supplier was timely, unit is sexy, fast, quiet. Connecting two screens (one 4k) to it and working good almost daily... BUT now we're 15 months further and my bluetooth starts to give way: STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE. Also, it's running a little hotter than before. UPDATE: WATCH OUT FOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT!! Once you have a problem with your item, that's it: support gives a run-around with all kind of funny things to "attempt" on your end including opening up the unit, removing and cleaning parts. Also got links for stuff to download (incl bios updates) from shady sites my antivirus blocked. Right now, I'm just looking to source parts and have my problem fixed myself. But I will not be recommending these products to my department at work, nor my not so tech-savvy friends.

It's nice and compact. Doesn't get too loud from the fans and boots quick. Overheating is a slight issue but the CPU ends up throttling until it cools down a bit. There's not much you can do about this though considering the tiny size. Other than that, it works as intended. It's nice and compact and doesn't explode my electricity bill unlike my main Desktop.

My son in law recomened this Im very happy with it its fast and quiet and doesnt take up any space for me it works great.

Retired programmer here with 50 years dealing with PCs. This review is not for avid gamers, but targets users that want an excellent home computer. After years of setting up ATX (big case) systems for family, friends and coworkers, I can say I've happily transitioned to mini PC's after recommending Beelinks to my brothers and now purchasing my own. The SER8 had the specs that demonstrate a very capable PC with high speed data processing in every area that counts: memory, cpu, gpu, USB, SSD and monitor support. Along with my purchase, I bought a 4TB M.2 SSD drive for the second M.2 slot in the machine. The 1TB M.2 drive that comes with the PC acts as my boot drive and the 4TB acts as a NVR storage location for my home cameras. Installation of the drive was easy after figuring out that the 4 screws on the bottom are hidden underneath little rubber gromets. The only other additional thing to purchase if you have lot of USB devices (camera, BT Headset, etc) is a USB Hub to plug into the rear USB 3.2 port. The USB 3.2 port on the front I use for my keyboard/mouse dongle. The Wi-Fi connectivity is excellent and set as default so that when you turn the PC on for the first time, it connects automatically to your network after you answer a couple setup questions. Win 11 Pro is pre-installed and on intital boot up, it will ask a few set up questions. I switched the Wi-Fi to Ethernet because I'm old school still not fully trusting Wi-Fi reliability. Truthfully, I think those issues have been fully addressed with Wi-Fi 6e which I have...works awesome either way! After installing about 10 apps including office, I can say installations are seamless and all apps work dependably. The machine is faster than my AMD Ryzen 5 ATX machine and it uses 1/4 the power of my old machine. My old machine weighs 25 lbs compared to the Beelink at 3 lbs. I use dual 50" 4k TV's which act as perfect monitors giving me a ton of real-estate and easy reading. Just 10 years ago, people could only dream of such an incredibly powerful PC in such a small super quiet package. I'm thrilled with this purchase.

This is an impressive little machine. I purchased this to replace a windows 7 computer my folks have been using which is a “thinks it can run windows 10 machine.” I figured I would bring them into 2023. They’re both approaching 80 and have no problem using this one. Even the power button is front and center meaning easy to find. It’s light years more advanced. First off setup couldn’t have been easier. It has everything you need in the box. Two HDMIs - one short and one longer. I also purchased a new monitor for them and it came with a cord, but it was a nice touch for those who want to attach it to the back of a display. Printer drivers and everything else installed easy peasy. The worst part of this was setting up windows 11! Microsoft wants control of everything and their greedy little paws in every facet of your life. Supposedly there is a way to set it up without an account, but I couldn’t get it to work so I created a fake account which no one will ever use for anything other than updating this computer. Then I declined all their sales pitches and accept this and that from location tracking to ad targeting to whatever else. If Macs weren’t so much I would have bought them one. I have no idea if it will run games. It surfs the web beautifully and YouTube videos are no problem at all. I did watch some YouTube review videos on this machine before buying it and they did say it will do some gaming if that’s your thing. Build quality seems top notch. In closing…Microsoft stinks. BeeLink? Fantastic!
