Beelink SER8 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS(8C/16T, up to 4.9GHz), 32GB DDR5 RAM 1TB PCle4.0 SSD, SER8 Mini Computer Support 4K@144Hz, Tirple Display, HDMI+DP, WiFi6, BT5.2, USB4

Out of the box, simple to set up. I printed a lot of REDDIT information explaining how to work around setup issues - but did not need any of it. Plugged it in, fired it up and followed the prompts. No challenges whatsoever. Purchased to use to rip my extensive DVD collection for posting on my personal PLEX server. It has a very capable processor, reasonable video GPU and excellent connectivity. I plugged in 4 USB DVD drives and was successful in quickly, repeatedly ripping 4 DVDs concurrently with hardware acceleration. I now have ready access to my extensive DVD library and the disks can be safely placed in storage in case of future need (or proof of licensing). The PC is delightfully small, fast to boot, supports dual monitors, has great memory and comes with Windows 11 Pro. It has been running cool and quiet. After a month of heavy use, I can recommend it.

This was a great upgrade to my eleven year desk top set up. Windows 11 had two programs installed in addition to a windows and was mostly a clean installation of windows compared to other OEM's. After ensuring the windows partition worked, I did install Fedora Linux and had zero issues with the bios in dual booting both operating systems. The computer itself is extremely quiet and cool when running some light gaming on Steam, with great graphics quality for a small desktop without a dedicated graphics cards. Build quality is solid, doesn't use a ton of power or space, and looks nice. Unless you are into high end gaming, video editing 4k, or running local AI models, this more than enough computing power at a great price.

Quick shipment. Only a few things to plug in. Stared right up. Seems fast. Wireless networking was easy to configure and seems stable and consistent. OS functions as-advertised. Great looking little PC gives the impression it was pricier than it was… when you even see it. Form factors as SO small now, it’s wonderful. Quiet fan even when pushed hard.

Excellent computer with known design flaws. Knocks my gaming tower out of the ballpark. Had trouble updating Windows, so I put Fedora Linux and it works beautifully. It is very quiet as long as you're not sitting immediately in front of it. It could use more USB 4 ports. Haven't tried Bluetooth. Known issues: poor Wi-Fi range (mine isn't terrible), surprisingly slow front USB-C port)

I am a big fan of Beelink Mini PC and their quality oriented innovative approach. All their Mini PC's including this one, is noise free almost. I have not yet heard a loud fan sound till now. I and my family have 5 Beelink Mini PC's so far (including this one). Beelink SER 8 (this one) is more dust proof, compared to earlier models that I have. Please note that the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS does not have a built-in AI processor unit (NPU). There are only 2 power modes, Balanced (Default) and Performace. The Edit Power button does not switch to Performance mode. If one needs to switch to Performance mode, they have been advised to contact Beelink's customer service. Like Most users, I use Wi-Fi only for accessing the Internet. Wi-Fi & BT are the weak spots for this mini PC. Pros: Backed by Beelink quality. Noiseless fan. Dust proof enclosure. Other than Wi-Fi & BT, product is very good. Cons: Weak Wi-Fi and Weakest Bluetooth. Beelink still uses AX200, an old model Wi-Fi Network card. BT does not work beyond 10 feet. AMD has collaborated with Mediatek and introduced RZ608 & RZ616 (AMD's own Wi-Fi 6E models), which are far superior than AX200. Beelink should have used any Network card that supports Wi-Fi 6E and 7, instead of AX200. PS: I switched to wired connection (cat 8 ethernet cable) and the internet connection is faster and the browsing and online data managing experience have been better. Bluetooth continues to be a big pain without resolution.
