OK, yeah, I borrowed a line from "Aladdin", and it's a bit of hyperbole, but the fact of the matter is that these mini PCs are tiny little powerhouses as long as you buy the ones with at least an AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5 processor, at least 16GB of memory and an NVMe SSD. A mini PC so equipped will perform on a par with a full-size desktop PC of similar specs, but will take up a lot less space, probably make less noise and will cost hundreds of dollars less.
The main thing that these mini PCs will not do is be a graphics powerhouse. That's because for high-end graphics work, nothing beats a proper graphics card, and for that, you need a full-size desktop PC, most likely a custom one, since many of these graphics cards won't fit in what most major manufacturers call a desktop PC. But if your computing activities don't include Adobe Creative Cloud, CAD/CAM, editing videos with professional grade software or competitive online gaming, a mini PC will suit you just fine.
Everything stated above is true of all mini PCs. There are several reasons why I particularly like Beelink mini PCs:
1. I've tried several other brands of mini PC, and each has disappointed me in some way. The precise disappointments ranged from a defective PC, an incorrect PC sent (it was a drop-shipped unit, so this wasn't due to an Amazon error) and component choices that slowed the mini PC down to well below its potential. Beelink seems to have found an excellent compromise of price vs. performance, and none have developed any technical problems, so I've never been let down by one.
2. Every Beelink mini PC I've tried, including this one, have come with a mounting kit for mounting the mini PC on the back of a monitor and two HDMI cables. The monitor mount, which includes screws, works with most monitors that have VESA mounting holes on the back. One HDMI cable is very short - under 12 inches/300cm - which you use when you mount the mini PC on the back of the monitor. The other HDMI cable is 3 feet/1m long, which you would use when not mounting the monitor. (For the metric snobs out there, yes, I am aware that my conversions are not precise. I rounded up the metric conversions to the nearest cm, as someone who normally uses metric measurements would most likely do when talking about video cables.)
3. You can find cheaper mini PCs with what appear to be the same specs as Beelink's, and some of them are clearly made by Beelink's parent, which makes white-label versions of these mini PCs for other companies to equip and brand as they like. But as I said above, I find that Beelink is using better components than most other mini PC makers, particularly better-performing SSDs.
I did dock Beelink one start in the Tech Support category because I find it difficult to find downloads on their web site for many of their mini PCs. I get the impression that they're introducing new models faster than their support people (person?) can organize and post the downloads for them. But other mini PC makers, not counting major manufacturers like Dell and HP, are no better at this, and I find that the Intel Driver and Support Assistant from Intel's web site (if your mini PC has an Intel wi-fi adapter), Windows Update and occasionally checking the AMD web site for new drivers will keep you current.
