Beelink SEi 10 Review – A Strong Combo of Expandability, Style and Performance

The Beelink SEi 10 is one of the latest mini PC’s from Beelink, manufacturers of popular devices such as the Beelink GT King line of Android Boxes.

The SEi10 weighs in at the lower-mid range of the performance spectrum with the respectable 10th generation Intel Core i3-10110U CPU. We sell it with DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM and an NVMe SSD, but you can add a 2.5-inch SATA drive of your choosing down the line as well.

The SEi10 offers a fairly standard fare when it comes to expandability, featuring the ability to add an additional 2.5-inch drive of your choosing, allowing it to function as a media centre with ease if need be.

As always, we have a video and transcript below for those who are interested in learning more about the Beelink SEi 10. Take a look, and if you’re interested, swing on by to our main site to buy! (Or send us an email at [email protected] if you have further questions!)

Beelink SEi 10 General Windows Usage

The Beelink SEi 10 mini PC comes preinstalled with Windows 10 Professional and a fully activated Windows license. This will give you all the latest updates to download and install.

As you would expect, day to day tasks such as web browsing are fast and smooth. You have full access to Microsoft Store for installing and updating your software.

Beelink SEi 10 Benchmarks

The following benchmarks test the SEi 10 in different ways to provide information on stress-tested processor, memory and disk performance, as well as daily tasks such as web browsing, office work and entertainment. The video may be sped up in places as some tests can take several minutes to complete.

Passmark Benchmark

PassMark provides an overview of many tests, including processor, graphics, memory and disk performance. It allows us to get a general view of performance at a high load.

The Beelink SEi 10 scores 2150, which is in the area for similar devices of this specification. Overall it scores very well in all six areas, especially the disk speeds.

PCMark Benchmark

PCMark benchmarks the more day to day usage of a PC. These include tasks such as video conferencing, web browsing, using office documents, graphics editing, video decoding and much more.

The final score of 3460 is very good, comparable with other PCs of this specification. It is great for your day to day tasks, whether at home or in the office.

3DMark Benchmark

3DMark benchmarks the graphics performance, and as always, graphics are not just for games. It is used for page rendering, video decoding and encoding and much more.

The score of 414 is again in similar specification devices, obviously not as fast as higher performance models. It is a good graphics processor suitable for many tasks, including some light gaming.

DiskMark Benchmark

DiskMark benchmarks the performance of the M.2 PCI-e NVME SSD read and write speeds in four different ways. This gives us a more detailed view of how it performs and its read and writes speeds.

The read score of 2461Mb/sec and write speed of 1708MB/sec is speedy for a device of this specification, comparable to higher-end Mini PC’s. From booting up Windows, loading software and accessing large files, they will all be at high speed.

WiFi Benchmark

The Beelink uses WiFi 6, and with this, we can be sure of a fast and reliable wireless connection. We run a speed test over WiFi connected to the router on the other side of a large room.

We got a download and upload speed of 312 and 320 megs a second. WiFi 6 is excellent, and you can get even faster speeds if your internet supports it.

LAN Benchmark

The 1GB wired ethernet connection to our NAS works just fine with constant full-speed data transfer.

Gaming Performance

For this test, we are using Streets of Rage 4 running at Ultra settings at 1080p. The Intel UHD graphics card holds up well, with the frame rate regularly changing between 59 and 60 frames per second. We have seen in higher-end models that the FPS remains more at 60, so this model is doing a pretty good job.

Conclusion

The Beelink SEi 10 is a high performing mini PC that holds its own against models with higher specifications and higher costs. It obviously won’t have the same performance, but comparing the benchmark scores with others, you can see excellent comparisons, especially in the disk performance. This is a great mini PC for home or office work.
