I am surprised how well it works. It did take several hours to get the updates done. Dont expect to plug it in and go. I let it run updates while I did other things around the house. Once it was ready it does what I wanted very well. Starts up in a few seconds. I have it connected to an older LCD TV in my garage. I hard wired in Cat5 for internet so I cannot comment on WIFI. It runs Amazon Video just fine. It runs JRiver Media Center very well. That content is on a networked drive. Again I do not rely on WIFI. Everything is hard wired. Thats all I do with it and it has been great. My only gripe is I am unfamiliar with Windows 10 and it is very pushy on updates. That is when I can tell this is not a powerhouse, it takes forever. But for the money I spent I am thrilled with how well it works. I have been running it a few months, and I would buy it again if I needed one. For me this was a better solution than running an old ATX size rig that was as big as a bucket.

This little computer is great for the price. Watching 4K videos and general internet surfing is a treat. Plenty of expansion options and fairly straight forward to open it up and add an m.2 2242 ssd card. Just pop the rubber knobs off the bottom and remove the screws. No bloatware, etc. Now just need a 4K tv as monitor.

Computer worked well until it froze up after a few months. After two emails to BeeLink, they told me to return it to Amazon. Amazon is accepting a return. Unfortunately, Amazon charges a 20% fee, since Im returning the unit after the initial 30 days. 80% back is better than nothing. Too bad BeeLink wouldnt replace the defective unit themselves.

I had purchased one of those Minix Windows 10 Media Box systems a week before, but was highly disappointed that after install/setup there was only 2GB of space left... not enough to do ANYTHING. I returned it and ordered one of these. I have to admit that it does everything I need it to do, the bluetooth, video, wireless and USBs work perfectly for what I needed, and I still had over 20GB left for software and miscellaneous. This box isnt perfect, but definitely worth the price.

This thing is great and very compact. I use it in the garage and it is hooked up to a 50 inch plasma screen using the VGA port. It connects to the wireless network and comes loaded with Windows 10 and updates. Excellent.

This was a great unit when I bought previously, now when I get them the auto power-on option has DISAPPEARED from the BIOS and there is NO way to make that happen. I have seen users inquire about this and they get a runaround from Beelink saying to access a BIOS option which is NO LONGER THERE. Beelink needs to correct this issue via BIOS patch for existing users and for future units.

I sucessfully installed theis machine and got it up and running within about 1 hour. I missed good written setup instructions. I had issues during setup which turned out to be due to a USB mouse that I had, which did not work to give me a pointer during setup. Finally I used a newer mouse with the USB transmitter, which was likely USB3. I ended up watching a Utube video about this machine, which was helpfu. They certainly could improve on making things clearer for setting up. I has some issue with U-tube music replay...not sure why things werehanging with some videos. All in all I am happy about the size and power. The price is fairly low so risk is limited as well.... will see.

For the price, the hardware specs are good. But the BIOS doesnt have the option to auto boot when it gets power-- you have to press the power button. Thats no good for me, because I would be putting this in a place where I dont have easy access to it. If you dont need it to boot automatically when plugged in, then its pretty good, considering the size and price.

This is a great Kodi box running the latest LibreELEC. Our new dodge has a screen for the rear seats with HDMI, Ran like a champ for over 10hr car rides so far.

1st of all I want to say this is a great little PC to replace a full desktop for a lot less $$. I purchased this to replace my HTPC which, luckily having Windows 10 pre-activated, Im able to use it a lot easier and it does not take up any room at all. The one problem I do have is whenever I switch my TV HDMI input from the cable to the PC, the video will not pick up and will just become static. I have to switch back and forth a couple of times and then it will pick up. All in all, if youre looking for a great cheaper way of having a computer this is the one you need!
