I like simple SBC systems for their simplicity of application :) When it comes to "mini" PC's I like their potential to fill a need, but don't know how maintainable they may be (what do you do in 18 months when the magic smoke comes out of the power brick, will they still have these, will third party offer them, will you be resorting to a power drill a barrel connector and crafty modification). But then, the need would include disaster recovery, students in dorms, field research stations which would not be real long term uses. Dunno, will discuss this with my daughter, she is looking for a small system right now and this does appear better than the competition.

I run several dozen lxc containers on it controlling various things such as redundant DNS, email for notifications, and much more. As for Beelink, one issue I have with their products is there's seemingly no option to max out RAM and storage when placing an order, the option is not even available for the "pro" version, too bad and I don;t get why since we're talking about only a few $ for saving a lot of hassles upgrading.

I have a full blown server at home with IPMI, but it's not for development use and is expected to always be stable and working. For development, I need remote access when something goes wrong and I have to reset while away. I could buy another server with IPMI, howerver space is limited, the mini's are great space savers, cost less, make less noise, less heat, and get the job done. I bought a wifi power switch to hard reset each development mini, it works OK, except not as good as IPMI for diagosing issues remotely or adjusting bios settings Everyone has their own unique reasons why they buy these products. I use one mini when away for extended time, it's better for my needs than a laptop, although I also have a laptop, it depends on the situation which device I'll use.

They are extraordinarily expensive, lack pcie connectivity that better priced and maintainable form factors such as mATX offer, and feature proprietary parts making future maintenance almost impossible *when* something goes wrong. To be certain it's a whole lot of compute in a small form factor, but who out there needs this kind of horsepower without onboard pcie connectivity that a standard form factor provides? The SFF (and smaller) devices are probably still best served as ultra-affordable and low-compute solutions for simple end users. Power users seem almost certainly better served doing it themselves in a way that offers better connectivity, similar compute, and standardized parts for better future upgradeability/maintenance.

connector gets loose when moving the device or lifting it up while it is own. The magnet stays attached but power is dropped causing it to power down.

Although a silly design inclusion, almost every reviewer has complained about the "clear cmos" button when it's really a non-issue. It's more difficult to remove the bottom plate then it is to remove the rubber button that pushes the switch. Then you can simply insert a cotton swab or whatever if you need to reset it.

Between the "Clear CMOS" button in a place that makes no sense whatsoever and again with the proprietary power connector, it's out....NEXT

Is it Thunderbolt 3 or 4? I believe 3 was proprietary and AMD only adopted 4 as part of USB4 (and yes - it is backward compatible, so TB3 devices work properly with TB4/USB4)

The propriety power supply isn't a problem. They provide instructions on how to set up the USB-C as power input on the site... If you want to use USB4 port(PD3.0 100W) for power supply, please set the TDP to 54W in your BIOS settings and use a PD charger which supports 20V voltage and maximum OCP of 6.32A. Please be sure to connect 120W power adapter to DC port for power supply if you set the TDP to 65W.

This would be perfect if it had a card reader as well - why do you think it’s not included?

I wanted to know what kind temps were looking at in a little box

I was thinking of an SER6 so I take it THESE are much better??

So Im thinking of making a small ITX pc but then I got looking at these and for about $900 you can get a pretty high spec mini pc. Would they be better than an ITX or not?

My GTR7 7840HS on Geekbench 6 won't score higher than 9500 and mostly 8800 why is that? You scored 11930 yet my single core score actually is as high as your 7940HS so I don't know whats happening but I am monitoring all the cores are active. It says its 65w enabled, I have not changed anything with the bios and not updated it either.

Assuming it has windows 10/11 support and what is the max SSD and memory sizes? I'm thinking of replacing my old PC with this for software dev and gaming.

@ServeTheHomeVideo can an external GPU be used with this?

would be cool if they made a biger fan for this pc. that thing looks like it could be loud

Sorry, but I'm an old guy and have to ask; Can this replace a Desktop PC with the same task versatility and running an OS, say Windows or Linux? Or is it just a gaming box, a PC format Gaming Console?
