Things like Bee-Link, Miniforums, and others?
I have a bee-link SER5 with a 5600H, for 10 months, this thing rocks, it’s like 4"x4" it’s incredible!
Yes. Please go ahead and share. :)
How’s the build quality? I had a beelink a few years ago and the build quality was awful compared to the Intel NUCs. Ports were crooked in the cutouts, Fan had no hysteresis, PSU couldn’t support all the ports being used…terrible experience.
I bought a SER5 5600H (6c12t) 32GB/512GB in August 2022, from amazon, US$459. At the time it was one of the best bang for the buck, now there is better one 8c16t and with way better GPU (internal or external), and sometimes for cheaper.
I switched from a bulky tower with a i7 3770. The mini is like 4"x4", quiet, silent, metal case with mesh, it support 3 screens, usb-c/usb3, internal SATA where I put a 1TB cheap SSD for “data”.
This is my work PC, I’m using it 8h/day for 10 months now, absolutely 0 problem. I updated windows drivers with update catalog, mostly not vendor ones. But 99% of the time I’m in MX Linux on it, 0 problem.
On miniPC sub and on bee-link forum I never saw a prob with bad cutout/ports, maybe it was in their 1st batch? There is fan hysteresis in the BIOS with various temp/speed settings too.
