Beelink ME Mini PC with Intel N95 12G LPDDR5, 1TB SSD Dual 2.5G LAN/NAS Storage/Cloud/W11 Home

This thing makes a great media server it is whisper silent so long as it isn’t needed to transcode anything at that moment. Can’t even hear it from 2 feet away and even under full load you can only just barely hear it and uses very little power. But, it includes Windows installed by default which runs horribly. Just throw Truenas or something like that and it runs like a dream. Replacing it with something with more space since SSDs aren’t cheap and converting it to just a web browsing and YouTube PC since my main PC died and waiting to replace. Again Windows sucks for this but Fedora Linux works great with no major fiddling, just install and go. Your mileage may very with other forms of Linux depending on which kernel they are using by default since the hardware is still relatively new as of righting this.

Good product. Have it installed with 3x Lexar NM790 4TBs data drives, 1x Intel 660p 256GB OS drive. TrueNAS with boot pool between 256GB and the EMMC worked with no issues whatsoever. Shame drives cant be used at full speed, but for the compactness of the whole unit, just a great package. I unplugged the WiFi card (and hot-glued it inside the case still), just to prevent the power draw from it. Fan noise essentially completely silent Great product.

So far, so good! A low power NAS! Low power! I successfully installed TrueNAS Scale (25.04.2.3) on the system. My only disappointment is that it has just 12 GB of RAM — I wish it was upgradeable. I’m currently running TrueNAS Scale with containerized apps for DNS and Mail (Postfix and Dovecot). TrueNAS 25.04.2.3 wasn't unable to partition the EMMC during the installation process, but I was able to install version 24.04.0 then upgrade it 25.04.2.3. Not sure if this a NAS issue or hardware..

This is a great little NAS. I have Windows 11 Pro running on it and I maxed out 5 of the 6 drives each with 8TB SSDs. I am using it for my files and for my large streaming movie collection running on Plex. So far I've had zero issues streaming movies or using it for file storage across multiple PCs. I also got rid of my old Synology NAS which was pulling way too much power compared to this little thing. I definitely recommend.

I won't spend a lot of time on pictures or words that talk about or show off performance or specs on what is clearly not meant to be a high-performance PC. It would be pointless to make any comparisons unless it's to other machines in the same class. I've had it in operation for over four weeks and am very happy with it. It's been in operation 24/7 running Windows Server 2019 and is hosting a couple of applications that I would otherwise be running on a Dell server that uses a lot more energy. This is a competitor to and in the class of Lenovo and Dell mini workstation PCs, not some high-performance gaming machine. It is, in fact, smaller than those other machines and, in our experience, faster when performing work-related tasks. This is a great little computer that fills in some gaps between a full-blown tower PC and a laptop. The very fact that it shares its internal memory with the Intel graphics GPU is a clear indication that this is not meant for gaming or high-performance video processing. While the CPU used is not the latest tech, it's still very perky and offers more speed than is needed on most workstations. More than likely, they used the older chipset to keep the cost down. Think of this as an option for working from home. Instead of schlepping a laptop back and forth from the office (for those who work some days in the office) this can stay at home and be loaded with the apps needed to access remote services. Web browsing is fast, as fast as the available internet connection allows. The two HDMI outputs are perfect for most people's work desks. If needed, a USB C to HDMI adapter can be used to extend the graphics over three monitors. However, this does slow things down. Packed with 8GB of RAM (I upgraded to 16GB) and a 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD, it provides very quick performance when opening PDFs, Word, Outlook, and other office applications. For backup purposes, when the bottom is popped off, there is a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD SATA drive bay. This allows programs like Acronis or Macrium to back up important stuff to an internal drive, but if needed or desired, the gigabit Ethernet connection allows for rapid backup on a NAS. With four total USB Type-A (USB 3.0) connections, there is enough room for a mouse and keyboard on the two USB 2 ports located on the rear and then two forward-facing USB 3.0 ports for external or thumb drives. There is also a 5gbps USB-C port located on the front. ► For desks not located next to an Ethernet port, the WiFi5, 2.4g and 5g, adapter provides very good connectivity. ► Its Blue Tooth 5 service allows for backward compatibility, so there's no issue using older tech devices. The cooling is robust, considering how small the overall package is. The internal fan does a good job of keeping things cool while being quiet enough to have sitting on a desk next to me. If there is no other noise in the room, I can hear it wind up when the CPU is tasked, but it's still so low that it doesn't create problems when I'm on the phone right next to it. When not working hard, the fan runs so quietly that I need to look at the power indicator (located on the power button) to make sure it's powered on when the screen saver kicks in. Overall, this is a great option for any business or person that's looking for good work desk computing options.

I’m quite impressed with how well this Beelink Mini Pc works… fast and it’s very convenient with its size. I was able to get this mini pc set up within a couple of minutes after receiving it. Windows 11 was ready to go and I’m very happy with how smooth the setup went. The mini pc is small with a good amount of USB ports and hdmi, everything is working as expected and I’m loving the portability of it. Mounting hardware is included and easy to set up. My video library works without any lag, streaming apps working perfectly for me and better than my tv sticks. It’s not the best computer for gaming for simple games do work like league of legends for example. It’s perfect for web browsing, video watching, and doing simple school work. Overall I’m loving it and I’m hoping it works for a long time.

Nice compact mini PC. I still use a full tower with my 28 inch monitor, which takes up a lot of desk space. When I came across this unit, I had to have it, strictly due to its size. That being said it is well built and upgradeable, which is perfect for me. I dont use it for gaming, and not sure you could with any of the new games in the last couple years, being only 2.4 GHz, even though it will turbo to 4.2... I still think it would lag on newer games. That being said, I use it for surfing the internet, and youtube and prime videos mostly, and it works flawlessly for that, and doesnt even get warm. And the nice thing is i can hook it up to my 65 inch LED tv which is great. Overall a good mini PC for a good price, as I am writing this review it sells for 448 less a 30 dollar coupon, so just over 400 for a windows 11 Pc with 4k, not bad in my books. I hope thi helps in your decision making.

Really like this mini computer. Set up was easy. Initial set up time was about 20 minutes, but that is typical of a new pc. After that, start up time is under 30 seconds. You can connect dual screens to it for home use/productivity. Came with Windows 11 Pro. Has 2 HDMI inputs, 4 USB 3 inputs, USB C input, headphone/speaker input and Ethernet port. Comes with built in Wifi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth. Has 8 GB of Memory and 208Gb of free space after operating system. Streamed a movie with it and picture quality was great and I had no issues with buffering or reduced picture quality. Connected to WIFI with ease and Bluetooth connection is easy. Played Fortnight on it and there was no buffering or freezing. Overall impressed with this mini computer

This is a snappy little mini pc. Handled video streaming and steam library streaming with no problems but anything other than video playback/streaming / office use will probably feel slow. I would avoid this system if you want to lay any 3d or recent games but it is great if you want to stream your steam library to a tv from your main pc. Im sure windows game pass streaming would also work well on here. Its more expensive than android tv boxes but much more flexible, you run windows 11 directly on here + it said on the page you could ask for windows 10 instead (I got windows 11 and it works great)
