I bought this to try it out for home IT lab work. It would not make a good gaming machine, I don't think. But that's not its purpose. It would be great for an HTPC, and works well for the home lab idea, with a couple of caveats.Before even plugging it in, I decided to crack it open so I could image the M.2 drive inside. That way I can return to factory at any time. So you get a pic of the guts. As to be expected, not much in the way of expandability, though you do have an open 2.5" SATA bay and could replace the M.2 2280 (mine is a Phison branded) with a larger capacity if desired. Not sure if the RAM can be expanded (with full replacement of course) or not, BeeLink's site seems to indicate that 16GB is the max.In operation it's very quiet, even at full load, and the max load I saw it pull was 22W. Idle it stays under 10W.Windows ran seemingly fine, though I didn't keep it on there long. There's a regular BIOS entry, and you can DEL or F7 for BIOS or boot menu, respectively. AlmaLinux 9.2 installed fine, and the Ethernet worked, but not the wireless. This seems to be a known issue that this wireless chip is very new and the support hasn't made it to most kernels yet.The real torture test came when I tried to install ESXi 8.0. That would not find the wireless (not surprising, or even supported at all I think), nor would it find the Ethernet. So to get it installed I had to use a USB -> Ethernet adapter. Though then even the install fails at ~72%: ESXi is installed, but not configured. You have to reset, F2 log in with no password, and reset the network settings, then manually set it up to use the USB Ethernet adapter for management (and change your password!).Small, quiet, low power, fast enough, runs Windows, runs Linux (minus wireless unless you have a really new kernel), and even ESXi with some workaround and USB NIC addition. Very happy with this.

This is a great value machine considering the generous amount of RAM and storage, also with a Windows license if you value that. For me it was simply a cheaper option than a comparable spec Raspberry Pi. Comes with a nifty VESA mount bracket that I use as a wall mount in a cabinet.One thing worth knowing is that everything about this computer is very, very cheaply made. The power button screams poor quality every time you use it, the fan is quiet-ish decibel wise but the actual character of the fan noise is annoying, there are only USB-A ports and the power supply uses a wall wart and an old school barrel connector. I.e., you get what you pay for.

J'avais choisi ce produit car il est bien marqué qu'il fonctionne sous linux. Je ne voulais pas de windows or il n'y a pas le choix d'avoir un compte microsoft pour configurer l'appareil

Der Mini PC funktioniert sehr gut, ich komme damit super zurecht, ich bin sehr zufrieden.

This little pc is a great homelab device. It has more functionality than you'd expect from such a small unit. Power draw is very low. I recommend that you have some 4G, 8G or other relatively small flash drives to load software, as my 2TB flash and USB DVD drive did not work due to CPU limitations. All the network connections work well.
