Monitor mount, fast, compact

This is my first Bilink PC. I decided to give it a try after reading several blog posts that it was good value for money. It exceeds my expectations. PC boots in seconds. It actually boots faster than the LG monitor I use with it. By the way, this mini PC is attached to the back of the monitor! (see picture) Maybe that's a feature of all mini PCs, but I just never knew about it. But it's an amazing space saving feature and I was pleasantly surprised. Beelink comes preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro. This isn't the latest version, so expect a few hours of updates before upgrading to the current version (2004 at the time of writing this article). After installing the updates it works like a charm. I use it to replace my previous work desktop, which means I regularly have multiple Outlook clients running at once, multiple browser windows, and many Adobe PDF and Microsoft Office documents open and running. Zoom calls (or Spotify in the background). This thing processes everything I throw at it. It shows fewer Wi-Fi bands than the desktop I replaced it with, but download speeds seem faster. This PC should be able to play 4K on multiple monitors. I can't test this feature as I only have 1080p monitors, but if I upgrade my displays I'll update my review to reflect this. Therefore, refreshing your desktop (if you still have it) is a good option. ). You won't be doing serious gaming or video editing etc, but it's good enough for routine office work and for significant savings (both in dollars and desktop) over alternatives.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
