Mini PC Beelink SER3 Ryzen 7

I build my own computers and have built a HTPC. Basically desktops but also a reasonably powerful HTPC and a Flight Sim which gives good results for MSFS 2020. This little baby is shockingly competent on most levels and fast considering it doesn't have a discrete graphics card. Sits well in my new hardwood TV cabinet and performs more than well.

This thing does everything I need it to do. It's even smaller than I imagined. Shipping from UK was fast and hassle free. I'm extremely pleased with this unit.

Despite reading reports of fan noise ours so far has been blissfully quiet. Maybe that's because we got the 32 Gb 1 Tb version. The only downside for us was it came with windows 10 not the Windows 11 advertised. Support were great in getting the 11 install organised but you need a wired ethernet to do this as you have to reload wifi drivers. Very cool little box.

Exactly what I needed to replace my old PC, that was not able to be upgraded to Windows 11. It hardly takes up any room on my work station, VERY quiet and I can easily add a USB 3 DVD/CD player for downloading some of my old favourite software.

Highly recommend, I don't play games, but should be perfect for editing and creating videos. Do a lot of creating pdf's on my desktop publisher. Ideal!! Still using SerifPlage Plus X6! Downloaded all my software with no issues.

Storage space shouldn't be an issue, as I already have a 4GB external hard drive. But will upgrade with another 16GB ram and internal storage drive sometime in the future.

Compact unit. Failed to connect due to faulty HDMI cable. Droix sent replacement very promptly. Upside down USB ports annoying. WiFi would be improved with ability to use external aerial overcame by using Billion usb WiFi adapter. Overall a useful unit quite speedy for spreadsheets etc. .Can recommend.
