I bought this mini computer a week ago when it was 20% off. I really like the size, performance, features, and low cost. The hardware this machine has along with Windows 11 Pro just can't be beat for the price you pay. I bought this specific machine because of the dual 2.5 Gb network adapters and because it supports OpenWrt. At present I am using it as an HTPC but if I later upgrade my Internet to 2 Gbps, I want to configure the machine to use OpenWrt as most routers do not have 2.5 Gb network adapters for the WAN "and" LAN ports unless you spend about $400 for a very advanced one. I would recommend this PC for techie types like myself as documentation is extremely sparse and user manuals or guides on their web site are generic, and not specifically for the Beelink model you purchased. Also following their guidance on setting up Wake On LAN (WOL) resulted in both 2.5 Gbps NICs failing to work, and finding how to fix that was not fun. I will admit that a non-techie person would likely not have use for, or try to configure WOL, but just saying. My machine came with Windows 11 Pro (v21H2) pre-installed, and that is about a year old, but Windows Update took it to Windows 11 Pro v22H2 without issue. The drivers on the machine's SSD and on their web site are old and for Windows 10 (at least regarding network drivers). I really like the fact that it has two 2.5 Gb network adapters but they are Intel i225-V model which have known issues, so be careful if you try to update drivers or change the power management settings. I highly recommend you DO NOT check the "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power" option on the power management tab in the driver's properties unless you want to go through the grief I did to get the network cards working again. The WiFi 6 works well. The max speed the WiFi connects at is 600 Mbps, and I would have liked a better WiFi card in the computer, but for what I paid for this PC, this was not a show stopper for me.

Very compact and quiet. Love the large capacity. Data transfer allows full backup in minutes. LAN response is great with low latency

I bought this as a Plex Media Server with the specific goal of using Quick Sync for hardware transcoding. Everything worked as expected.Here is what I did:Installed Ubuntu Server 22.04Upgraded the kernel to 15.19 (needed for /dev/dri but in later versions of Ubuntu you should not need to do this to get support for /dev/dri)Installed Docker and PortainerPulled the most popular Plex ImagePassed /dev/dri to the containerPlayed a 1080p video on a client but set it to 240p and confirmed that hardware transcoding was enabled and working.
