Beelink EQ14 Mini PC with Processor N150,16G DDR4 1T SSD Mini Desktop Computer, WiFi6, 1000M Dual LAN Ports, BT5.2 Dual HDMI Business Mini Computer

This computer is the absolute pinnacle of bang for the buck, for a brand new, fully Windows 11 pro desktop. This was engineered very well, making the RIGHT consessions to low cost. For instance, the SSD interface is an M2 NVME x1 lane arrangement which is almost double the speed of a SATA III SSD drive. Not nearly as fast as an NVME x4 lane interface, but it is fully compatible with any M2 NVME pcie3 x4 drive out there. Plus there's the internal SATA III drive bay which can hold up to 2TB (either HDD or SDD) right under the motherboard. I use a 4TB external HDD interfaced to the USB 3.2 (10mbps). Everything I need to execute quickly I store on the internal 500GB drive, while stuff that doesn't have such a high speed priority I store on the 4TB drive.Another area where they made cost savings was in the single channel DDR4 memory controller. The ram included is DDR4 3200 16GB RAM. It's a very fast standard SO-DIMM (think laptop memory) which gives plenty of memory bandwidth to the CPU/GPU. In this kind of computer having dual channel memory is overkill. Of course this wasn't BeeLinks call as much as Intel's. All of the Alder Lake N SoC chips only work in single channel only.The only problem I encountered with this box was using video in 1080p at 75hz refresh rate. Again, an Intel thing. At 75hz, there were certain web sites that would not load correctly and would shut off the video completely and this would happen every time on these few sites. However that problem disappeared when I lowered the refresh down to 60hz. Also it only happened on very few websites.I would recommend this machine for anyone who wants a great performing home or office PC that has a super small footprint. Gamers will need to look elsewhere.

These N200 mini PCs are wonderful, and have very low power consumption and heat generation. Some reviews here complained about noise, but my system is so quiet I only hear it in certain scenarios.Windows 11 seemed to run okay, but as an OS it is resource heavy. When running Windows updates or installs, it causes the system to run hot and make a small amount of noise. Still, not that bad.Linux runs BEAUTIFULLY on these! I use Ubuntu Cinnamon as my daily driver for this system, and all my browsing and music playing works just fine, no noise, no heat, every weekday.I also own a few Beelink S12 Pro systems, with the N100, and the N200 does feel notably better. I got a Passmark CPU score of 6,075 with the N100 system versus 6,673 with this N200 system. I'd say it's worth the few extra bucks for this N200, but you can't go wrong with a N100 or N150 system either!Definitely worth the purchase.

Works great for everyday home use. Also has worked very well for me with DAWs, editing and live recording has been without issue. Going from an older MacBook to this budget pc I thought would be a bit of a drag, but this works perfectly for me with its stock ram and hard drive

Too early review (24hr test) but I can tell you that this is not for gaming if you want to get it for that. ( I do not play video games)Great value for kids doing school work so you don't spend an arm and a leg on an iMac.Heavy graphic work may not be the best for this PC.Audio Workstation: Mobile workstation - fits in a bag with a 15" portable displayI have ran on it some of my heavy audio production software and was able to handle the load on the CPU but had some noticeable lag on the GPU graphic card.Tested with Nuendo 12, Cubase 12, etc.This one will go tours school work and family.Will get a gaming one so I don't get video lag when doing Photo Shop or Audio/Video production on the go.Hope this helps!

Background - I'm a guy that back in the day would head to Fry's and buy components and build the PC. I'm a tech-savvy guy and speak computer fluently. I bought this for my wife to use when an all-in-one finally died. Knowing that she would only use the browser and Office 365 I felt the BeeLink should be just fine.I purchased a U59 on 5/25The computer seems well made and it started right up and worked great - until it didn't...8/29/22 When she turned it on it flashed "No media present" and booted to the BIOS. After some basic troubleshooting it was obvious the SSD was dead.8/30 I emailed customer support and that started a long chain of emails asking me: - open it up and remove the BIOS battery for 12 hours; - do you have a spare SSD to swap out to check? (nope - no spares laying around); etc.9/19 after several emails, they finally agreed to let me return the computer to their CA warehouse.9/20 We shipped it over / tracking shows they received it on 9/23.9/28 I emailed support asking about the status, and they replied the next day asking for a tracking number (all the details were in the package.10/1 - Support replied that the US warehouse "isn't a colleague" so they didn't have the info. Then they tell me they are closing from 10/1 - 10/7 for the holiday and they will ship it after that.So, know that if you buy a BeeLink your support will be a terrible experience and if it breaks just throw it away and remember that I warned you.
