5.0 out of 5 stars Great replacement for an older Intel NUC that wouldn't support Windows 11
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024
My wife's main PC for years was an Intel i5 NUC that we bought years ago. It had relatively good specs for it's time, but slower 2nd Gen i5, small amount of RAM and limited storage, plus the fact that it couldn't upgrade to Windows 11 meant it was time for something new. This Beelink SEI12 cost just a little over half of what her original Intel NUC cost, came with 4x CPU Threads, 4x the RAM, and 4x the storage of her old machine, and Windows 11. Setup was a snap with the only hiccup being the time it took to download the latest Windows 11 patches to bring it fully up to date. It's fast, responsive and best of all - quiet. Which was one of her most important requirements. It's not totally silent, but near enough that she doesn't find it distracting (about the same as the previous Intel NUC).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mini-PC for home labs with Proxmox
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2023
I bought the i5-1235U model. I wanted a low power, compact, yet powerful mini-PC so I could run Proxmox and multiple virtual machines and LXC containers. I was able to easily load Proxmox 7.4 and upgrade to the Linux 6.2.6 kernel without issue. All hardware was recognized, and no hassle or driver issues. I did replace the NVMe SSD (which BTW, they use Kingston which is a very good brand, so kudos!) with a larger 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Disassembling the case was not terribly hard, but a little tedious to get the fan and heatsink assembly out.

Internally the PC is very premium. They put a thermal pad on the m.2 SSD, and the fan assembly has a large heat spreader that presses against the SSD. This should really help with SSD longevity. There is space and a connector for a SATA 2.5" SSD, in case you need extra storage. The WiFi card uses the m.2 A+E key, so you could in theory remove the WiFi card and install a Google Coral TPU. Those have a massive lead time, so I can't vouch that those cards work in this mini-PC but it should.

I have a few minor nitpicks:

1) Lack of 2.5Gbps NIC. Intel 2.5Gbps NICs have a history of problems, so maybe use Realtek or something.
2) Needs more USB-C ports that are 10Gbps or faster
3) The fabric top is baffling. Makes for cleaning and removing dust extremely hard. It needs to be solid plastic like every other mini-PC out there.

I contacted tech support to get the auto-power on instructions, which they promptly sent. Took all of 1 minute in the BIOS to change the setting. I verified auto power on works as expected.

With a Home Assistant OS VM, and 5 LXC containers, the steady state power draw is 8w. This is excellent! The CPU is very powerful, so even with all these services running steady-state CPU usage is literally less than 2%.

I highly recommend this mini-PC! Since the CPU is so powerful, unless you need all the horsepower you could get away with a less expensive model if you want to run Proxmox and a few VMs or containers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The performance surprised me
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2024
This is the first time I bought this kind of mini computer. I have always used a desktop computer. I only use it for office purposes. I didn't expect that this mini computer has very good performance. I highly recommend it for office use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive!
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2023
I impulse bought one of these because it seemed pretty cool and the price was right. I almost sent it back before I opened the package but decided to give it a try. Well, I like it. I mounted it on the back of a cheap 24" monitor. Got a cheap wireless keyboard/mouse combo and it works great. For what I do it's perfect. Takes no room on my desk and is surprisingly fast. Faster than the I5-750 gaming system I built some years ago. So far it's completely reliable, it does not have a bunch of bloatware on it and just works. Thinking about getting another to replace the wife's computer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very small and capable PC - not quiet and runs hot under load
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2022
I was surprised by how small this PC is. I purchased the miniforum DeskMini TH50 Mini PC at the same time, and the beelink is significantly smaller - about half the volume.

If size is a concern, there is probably not much better for the price than this pc. However, due to physics, it does run hot and thermal throttle under load. Also, because of the small fan, it does make a high pitched sound that can be annoying if the pc is close to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars GFN and video editing
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2023
Primarily use this for GeForce Now and it's pretty dang amazing! I didn't find any hidden root kits. Did a fresh install of windows anyway. It came with everything it stated and had a relatively recent version of win 11 on board already. Love it. Super cheap and way more powerful than the HP turdtop I was using prior. Outputs to my 2k monitor nicely at 120hz. I stream 4k through GFN but it's upscaled to the monitor obviously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little computer! I love it!
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2023
I bought it to serve as an entertainment center for my television and the truth is that it surprised me. Replaced an old NUC I had (8+ years) for half the price. My television is 4k and the image quality is noticeably better since it has 4k HDMI ports. I did have a very good quality HDMI cable already, which I'm sure also helps. It is also super-fast for basic windows tasks. I haven't tested it with video editing programs or graphically demanding games, so I can't comment on that. But for any office work use, I'm sure it can do any task very well. Regarding durability, it's only been 1 week so I can't comment at the moment.
