Is there a UK plug adapter

This is truly miniscule! It's like a really small TV box. But it's affordable with Windows 11 pro, which is nice. Worth look for basic non demanding work. Thank you for the comprehensive review Chris as always 👍👍👌

Price (as of 31 August 2022) is now down to ~US$152 for 8GB/128GB on Amazon US. Just chuck in a cheap used 2.5" SSD for extra storage.

Instead of Linux, you can also test ChromeOS Flex. I think it would be more suitable for specs like this

@robertzoufood

Жыл бұрын

I still think Linux is better, ChromeOS flex doesn't allow android apps and for some processors won't even allow Linux apps so you are stuck with PWAs. Some linux distros like MX Linux, Lubuntu and Xubuntu, EndeavourOS XFCE of LXQT should work on this fine and maybe even faster than ChromeOS Flex.

Can you do a review of the Dell XPS 13 or Razer Book?

the price of this one dropped quite a lot, because they now have a slightly better version with the n5105 cpu, making this one in the video even more interesting, its below the threshold where i would have to pay import tax, 150 euro.

I wish some reviewer would comment on longevity. Normally I would buy and desktop and use it for about 6 years. These little things look like they would last 6 months and then kaput. Would some user comment on how long they have happily used the device

I tried upgrading the memory to Viper 16GB DDR4 2400MHz in my Beelink Mini S. After power up, the fan coming on was the only thing that happened; nothing on the monitor. I tried pulling out the memory and reinstalling it and the same thing happened. I reinstalled the original 8GB and it was fine. I tried the 16GB one more time and it was just like before. So, I gave up. I took the 16GB to a store where they did a basic memory test and it passed. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Hi,do you know how to get in the bios using a Mac BT keyboard ?

hello I have a mini pc amd ryzen 7 2700u and I would like to put an igpu but everything inside a case. which case do you think would be cool?.

Can you please explain how can I disable UEFI in Bios or how can I boot from USB? 🙏

I heard it's available for just one year. After that is breaking. Anyone know anything?

Is it powerful enough to do Plex 4k transcoding?

"Spindle One?" .... In 27 years of building and using computers, I've never heard that term! ... Why not just call it an HDD, or Hard Disk Drive? I recently bought the Mini S, and I've fitted a 2TB "Spindle One" 🤣 ... It's a great little machine for GBP £159 on Amazon, and I've seen it a bit cheaper too! ... I've heard some reliability horror stories, although mine is fine so far. You can not pick all you like, I think this is a great machine for the price! ... Incidentally, in 27 years of using computers, I've NEVER had 20 tabs open at once! That's just ridiculous! Why would you want that many open at once? It doesn't make sense? EDIT: Not tried 4K streaming, but find it odd that my 4K Hisense can stream 4K perfectly! Surely the Mini PC hardware is more powerful than that in my Smart TV? AFAIK, my Smart TV doesn't have a powerful Intel processor inside it?

Im from uk what adapter do i need to buy and will it be able to run minecraft

Running Linux wouldn't be better for 4k video?

já tentou colocar dois pentes de 16gb ram pra ver se reconhece :?

a same price version with 16G memory but without windows would be a nice low power home server

It seems like all these type of units with a single channel ram are not good enough but those with two channel with even 2x4 gb are much better.

Then I asked where should i upload? He never answered. Aliexpress not allow to open any complain. im very hopeless, and upset.

Single channel, oof. Also the only benefit of running a CPU that feels like it's 2010 again in 2022 would be if it's entirely passively cooled tbh, either as a multimedia or on-desk browsing machine. Looks like a really hard pass to me.
