Absolutely rocking review and excited you and others are reviewing them. Been gradually moving from NUC to Bee-Link for a number of years now and have a enough units in operation long enough to get confidence in the quality of the hardware. My only critiques; please make the support website better/faster with more frequent firmware etc. updates. Overall, I believe Bee-Link is delivering an incredible value.

I recently deployed a dozen of the SER 5 with Ryzen 5 5560U (6C/12T) CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a 500GB NVMe SSD for just over $340 ea CAD. The staff at the school are very happy with them. What a fantastic value these Beelink mini PCs provide, the performance has been excellent and the included VESA mount makes them such a tidy hardware install. The dual 4k display support is also nice, as is the inclusion of a RJ45 jack. No complaints!
-
Thanks for the focus on mini pc’s the hardware is getting so powerful and the open source software is so resource optimized, you can run a whole virtualized server suite with 200-300 bucks nowadays
-
Thankfully, Beelink ditched the magnetic power connector and went back to a reliable barrel connector for the SER8.
-
Nice review. I have been thinking about shrinking my home lab and a number of these form factors would work. So much power in a little box not to mention the lower power draw. Thanks for the review.
-
Quite interesting, would like to see how this evolves with the software and potential use cases for homelab
-
My concern with these mini PCs is that most of them do not provide BIOS updates...
-
Can you run “slmgr /dlv” to see if it’s using a volume multiple activation key or retail/oem? Some manufacturers are using enterprise volume keys that aren’t for resale. Sounds like a great mini pc!
-
I wonder how this would be as a low power NAS. Speaking of NAS, what do you think of HexOS, as I wish that was out already lol, as I like TrueNAS but its too much work & complicated for me (and I dont like unraids way of doing things)
-
Pretty nifty hardware, but i cannot understand what is the usecase for those? Any ideas?
-
Surprised they don't offer more nics at this price point. Not sure if it was mentioned, intel nic or rtl?
-
Did you say you ran a hypervisor and then a windows VM on it? What's the 'AI' in the title of the device? Seems like everyone is just slapping 'AI' in the name of everything now. Thanks for the review, seems like a decent little device for lab work.
-
Hmm. I think I might be inclined to build a miniature Corsi-Rosenthal filter box to sit under it, so as to get HEPA grade air filtering on the input.
-
please review Minisforum MS01
-
But what gen are the USB-C? that could have a huge impact, its the difference between adding an thumb-drive or an eGPU..
-
From the thumbnail I thought "4 SFP ports? Neat!"
-
Random thought I just had. Are mini PCs good for using as a streaming and recording PC in dual a PC setup?
-
Can the logo be removed? I would like to find a black windows four square sticker to cover it.
-
Surely would have been better to put the filter on the bottom so it could be removed without having to remove 6 screws.
-
Yes on the cheap ssd. Got a cheap one and it crashed within months
