Great mini PC
Amazon didn't like my first review. Annoying, and it wasn't clear why. Let's try again.tl:dr Excellent product.I bought the Ryzen7 7735HS 32GB/512GB version. I've had it a month and it has worked flawlessly in that time. This was not bough for gaming, but for business use including driving 2 UHD 4K monitors and VM usage. Some points:1. I installed Windows from fresh on a 1TB M2 rather than the supplied 512GB model; it's a bit mean and I need enough to support lots of VM images. The Windows licence is digital, so it doesn't need a licence key during install; it authenticates itself.2. Downloaded the drivers from the BeeLink website; the SER6 set. Didn't download the BIOS as I didn't want to brick the device on the first outing. Added/updated the drivers (go to device manager, and pick off the marked hardware).3. Downloaded the Intel drivers from the Intel website using their DSA app. That's for Bluetooth & WiFi.4. Updated the AMD Adrenalin software from the AMD support site.5. Chucked the supplied HDMI cables. I'm using a decent 4K DisplayPort setup that allows me to drive two 4K monitors. The DP 10bpp is much higher than the HDMI 8bpp.6. You'll need a USB keyboard and mouse for maintenance and build purposes as you can't hit F7 during boot to get into the BIOS, or install Windows, without them. I normally use a wireless keyboard and mouse, which is fine once everything is set up,7. The WiFi isn't the strongest. I have an external USB TP-Link USB WiFi so I use that, and I've turned off the internal Intel WiFi.Some of this is not for the novice. I do know that installing from the 512GB SSD gets an older version of Windows and some of the drivers are still missing, so either way it's not for the faint of heart.The price is excellent given the functionality, especially with the application of the voucher. For my purposes, it's fast and small, works a treat, and I'd recommend.

So far bliss
Can’t lie. This is pretty immense to use. Fast and simple to use. Reliability is what matters to me. I’ll be using it and will update if anything changes.

Neat and fast little box in need of clearer instructions
After doing some research into best CPUs for mini PCs, this Ryzen 5 6600H came out top (I recommend cpubenchmark.net to compare performance), and for the £500 (with voucher) or so it seemed reasonable value to buy it on a whim. The Ryzen 5 5600U came a close second, if you're considering that and want to save a bit more money.It arrived next day and the packaging and unboxing is as good as any Apple device. It has a quality printed manual in several languages, and comes with various bits and pieces like HDMI and USB cables, and a bracket (and screws) if you want to attach it to the back of a monitor.Unfortunately the manual may look nice but all it tells you is how to plug in the power source and connect it to a monitor. It doesn't explain what the red square with a cut off corner is. It doesn't explain what the small rubber tag is protruding from the base (I'm told that it's to help install components/memory) - should I pull it? It doesn't explain anything about the Windows 11 licence. The links to set-up videos on the box aren't even for this machine!When I plugged it in and connected it to my existing working monitor with HDMI, and started up for the first time, nothing on screen. The unit's fan was quietly whirring and the power light was on but both HDMI ports weren't outputting anything. Thankfully, because I'm a MacBook user, I had a USB-C to HDMI/USB hub adapter and connecting the HDMI cable to that and then into the mini PC's front USB-C port, now had display on the monitor. I was then able to set up a user profile and password and get everything running in Windows.Performance-wise I'm really impressed. One reason I got it was because I can't play Steam games on my MacBook or Mac Mini because the OS doesn't support 32- bit games. With this Beelink, I can play all the games I had (Portal, U-boat, Half Life etc) at highest settings with no problems at all. Sometimes the fan increases speed under load but seems to run cool to touch. 16GB seems enough.I almost returned it for a refund because I wasn't happy about the HDMI outputs not working. I then connected it up to my 65-inch 4K OLED Panasonic TV, directly to HDMI ports, and wow, it works. I can play the games at max resolution. Granted that the games I play may not be the latest and greatest from last couple of years but they are playing fine at HD and 4K resolution with most if not all graphics settings set to max.The Beelink website is awful, and the forums are just as bad. I have no idea how good the technical support is, or how to perform BIOS updates should I need to.Windows set up was easy, connecting to wifi, installing apps and customising display, audio etc.I did have a couple of weird things where I'd restarted and got into the BIOS to change the time (and have a nose around), and then when the machine started, Windows was in the wrong (lo-res) display mode for the monitor. Had to restart.Overall and so far I'm pleased with its performance, and size. Would just feel more reassured if the documentation and support was better.
