5.0 out of 5 stars This Beelink SER8 Mini PC Is Totally Awesome!
This Beelink SER8 Mini PC is an incredible little computer. I actually purchased this mini computer to use to run my XTOOL D1 Pro 20 watt laser engraver/cutter, and to host Lightburn and other graphics production software. This computer works incredibly well for both of those purposes. This little computer also allowed me to free up my laptop for other purposes. I have been a Network Administrator for over 25 years, and I have been building my own (and many other peoples') custom computers during this time. However, my last 3 prebuilt personal computers have been Mini PCs from different companies. So far this Beelink SER8 is the best of the bunch, by far.This Beelink SER8 Mini PC has been built with all top of the line name brand hardware. No generic stuff here. The CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7, 8 series. The motherboard is an AZW brand (as are most all Chinese owned and manufactured mini PCs in this category). The 1 Terabyte M.2 NVME SSD is made by Crucial (Micron). The 32 gigabytes (2 x 16 GB modules) of RAM are also Crucial (Micron). The Blutooth and WiFi controllers are both made by Intel. The OS software is Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (with no added bloatware or viruses, thank you!). Windows also activates with no issues at all. Windows 11 Pro even still lets you setup a local user account, instead of a forced Microsoft account, if you keep the computer off of the internet during the initial Windows setup (Yay!) Also, the external power supply is a fairly small wall-wort, and not an inline laptop style power brick, which can be good and bad depending on the available space on a standard surge protector. Overall, Beelink definitely did not skimp on the hardware or software in this little computer.I also added a second Crucial 1 terabyte M.2 NVME SSD that is identical to the SSD that comes with this computer. I had no problem initializing and formatting the second SSD, and it is as fast as the original boot SSD that comes with the computer. The only other modification I made to the computer is attaching four 1-inch tall risers under the bottom corners of the computer in order to improve cooling and wireless network connectivity, and this modification works great in both cases.Along with the great name brand hardware and software, this Beelink SER8 Mini PC also has an all metal case (except for the bottom cover). The bottom cover is a removable, plastic perforated grill that the cooling fan draws air through. Inside the plastic bottom cover is a removable metal mesh filter that should be cleaned occasionally for proper air flow.Speaking of air flow, the cooling system in this Beelink SER8 Mini PC is amazingly quiet and efficient. The cooling fan is HUGE for a computer of this size, and the vapor chamber works very well to keep the CPU cool. During several long burn-in tests, this computer never got above 82 degrees Celsius with the CPU running at 4.8 gigahertz (in the default 54 watt mode). In the 65 watt performance mode (set in the BIOS), I was able to push the CPU to the advertised 5.1 gigahertz for short bursts, until the system throttled back due to heat limit constraints. Overall, this is very impressive for a mini computer of this size. However, the ambient temperature in my air conditioned shop is 78 degrees fahrenheit, so that also helps to keep this computer running cool.This Beelink SER8 Mini PC has 6 external USB ports of various speeds (four A and two C), and two 3.5 mm speaker/microphone jacks front and rear. There are also HDMI and Display Port (1 each) monitor connections on the back. The WiFi and Bluetooth both work great, and I have not had the speed and distance issues with the wireless controller that other reviewers of this computer have complained about. However, I am sure that raising the computer case up one inch (as I previously stated) has really helped, as the WiFi antennas are internal, and the metal body of this computer most likely acts as a Faraday Cage, blocking the WiFi signal.Just for reference and compatibility purposes, the external peripherals that are currently connected to this Beelink SER8 Mini PC are: An XTOOL D1 Pro 20 watt laser engraver. A 27 inch Acer monitor (via HDMI). Creatve Pebble 2 speakers (3.5 mm audio and USB C power). A Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse set. The computer is also connected to my home network and internet via WiFi, but I have also tested the Ethernet port and it works well. In fact all of the connected hardware devices are working great, including 2 wireless network printers.The software applications that are currently running on this Beelink SER8 Mini PC are: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro and Office 2021 Pro Plus. Lightburn. Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Gimp and Inkscape. VLC and Chrome. Windows Defender and Malwarebytes are protecting the computer from viruses and malware. I also have a LOT of custom fonts loaded in Windows. Once again, just like the hardware, all of the software is running very well.I have been using this little computer for several weeks now with no issues at all. Everything about this little computer has been working well. I initially put the computer through its paces with several intense burn-in tests, and I left it running for two weeks straight before turning it off. So-far so-good, but like with everything these days, only time will tell how this computer will last. However, if I can get 3 to 5 years out of it, I will be a happy camper.I highly recommend this Beelink SER8 Mini PC to anyone looking for a FAST and QUIET computer that does not take up much space at all. The case is literally 5 inches square by 2 inches tall (not counting the short cooling air elevation bars on the bottom cover). The only caveats that I "could" complain about are the really short elevation bars on the bottom of the case that don't raise the computer enough to let much air in for cooling, and can possibly hinder the WiFi signal (I remedied that with the 1 inch risers). Also, while the AMD Radeon 780M graphics is the best integrated mobile graphics on the market (today anyway), it does not hold a candle to the NVIDIA 1650ti stand alone mobile GPU in the Acer Nitro 5 laptop that this Beelink SER8 Mini PC replaced. Then again, I am not a gamer. I just need a GPU that can render well while using Lightburn, and other graphics programs, which the Radeon 780M does do very well. All I can say is pick up one of these Beelink SER8 Mini PCs while they are still available. They are a bit pricey for a mini PC. However, they always seem to be on sale on Bolo and elsewhere. I am sure the Beelink Ser8 Mini PC will also come down in price as soon as the next "latest and greatest" mini PC hits the market.Just a note of caution: ALWAYS scan these mini PCs (or any other mass produced computer for that matter) with a good virus/malware scanning software BEFORE connecting it to a home or business network and putting it into production. Although, this particular Beelink SER8 Mini PC was totally virus free upon delivery, it sure is better to be safe than sorry.
5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny and mighty. Fast, powerful, quiet, and cool.
Bought this to run VMs on in order to save resources on my dev laptop (which is now 5 years old). It has twice the cores and twice the threads of said top-of-the-line very expensive laptop, at a fraction of the price. All that, and it takes up hardly any space, uses hardly any power, and stays cool with its tiny, quiet, fan. Looks hilarious next to my husband's giant server, which he's going to replace with a different tiny box soon. We could have gotten a smaller house if this stuff had been around 13 years ago, though he'd still need room for all those monitors.Unless you're a gamer and need a separate graphics card, this is a great replacement for a more traditional desktop tower, especially if you're on a tight budget or work in a small space. (Or live in California and have ridiculous power bills.)
5.0 out of 5 stars Great small PC, Fast, and good-looking
Great specs, reasonable price, small size, quiet, enough ports on the back and front. Perfect for most office work and even content creation activities. I love it!!
5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful little machine
A really good buy so far. Was super quick to set up and downloaded updates took very little time. A really good upgrade from my old pc. Only 2 problems I can really say of, one being not enough usb ports. Bought a usb squid extension which works well for all my external drives. The other problem is I noticed a lot of mouse lag when playing games. At first thought it was because my mouse was old. Went and bought a brand-new wireless one. Still had lag. After switching the location of the plugged in devices, I discovered that the top back port doesn't seem to like having a wireless anything plugged into it. Not a huge issue. It is very quiet and has not gotten more than mildly warm. I have had a smooth experience so far with various programs including some of the latest HD games. I have not tried to see how much I can push this machine to do but am happy with its performance so far.
4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome little PC
The performance of this mini-PC is impressive, with one caveat. After receiving it, I hooked it up to my wireless network, but it dropped so many packets that I couldn't get it to operate. At that point, I decided to use a wired connection at 2.5g, which worked like a dream. Later, I attempted to connect my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, which went smoothly. However, from time to time, I'd see a strange lag in the mouse, and then when typing, I'd randomly get responses as if I was holding a key down and then struggle to erase it because there was some lag between the PC, and the keyboard which were no more than 3 ft apart. I then decided to connect a Bluetooth headset to the PC, and I could hear everyone fine; however, they said anything I attempted to say was garbled as if I had a bad connection, so I had to swap to a wired headset, which worked fine. At this point, I started a return on this product as it proved insufficient for what I wanted to use it for.I ordered a second mini-PC, a different brand, but was even less impressed. I returned it and decided to research the wireless and Bluetooth issues I had faced on this mini-PC. The wireless card delivered in this mini-PC is an Intel AX200NGW, and I found similar issues others had faced when paired with an AMD processor. I followed the same path others had tried, updating drivers, windows, etc., but no luck. Those individuals had replaced the wireless card with an Intel AX210NGW, and their issues disappeared. I figured I'd at least give that a shot and see how things went rather than returning this device, as it was a good PC other than a couple of issues, and worst case, I could just RDP into it and use it across the network that way. Once the new wireless card was received, I installed it, updated the drivers, and re-added all the devices. So far, I have yet to see any of those issues return, so I suggest that if you see similar problems, attempt replacing the wireless card with the Intel AX210NGW.
Muy buena calidad
Excelente desempeño, silencioso, no se calienta. con la capcidad de 32gb RAM y 1Tb. Cambié el SDD de 1Tb a 2Tb, instalé en una partición de 500gb Windows (solo experimental para mi), y en 1.5Tb Linux Ubuntu que es el sistema base que yo utilizo. Excelente desempeño para un costo muy accesible. De acuerdo a las necesidades de almacanamiento y procesamiento pueden optar por menos RAM y menos capcidad SDD. Muy recomendable!!!!
Trabaja bien
Arme con ese PC + Monitor Samsung Oddisey G3 de 32 pulgadas + mouse y teclados inalambricos
Buena Computadora para tareas de trabajo.
El modelo es muy compacto.
