One of the best chipsets for digital signage (24 hour video work)

Beelink Mini PCs have been good or bad for us, we have about 30 Mini PCs of different brands and models. What I like about his model is that the chipset is fairly new despite being several years old to easily play 4k 24/7 videos as a 600 or better GPU comes into play and offloads the CPU. They're fast and I haven't had a single cancellation yet. However, seller customer service just copy/paste from Beelink site which is limited and older models can't flash properly (for auto power function) and regularly falsely advertise features that don't exist but that is the world of today. The price is too high in my opinion when you can buy a laptop with the same chipset that includes the screen, battery and keyboard, but that's the way it is. The load times are some of the fastest I've seen and they're excellent. Also other low end 4125 models (GK 45, GK Mini) have problems that HDMI can't send signals and shows a black screen on restart, if the TV is off, turn it on, but still don't work, until it restarts when the TV is on. For home users it's not a problem, but for commercial sites with TV timers it's definitely a problem, so far it's been OK.Gaming? haha no. It can play solitaire and phone games at best, it just doesn't have the performance for anything else and shouldn't claim to. If you need a gaming PC, keep moving. If you are looking for a good small PC for basic computing, this is a good choice. Most of the machines we use run 24/7 for 2-3 years. Our oldest is about 6 months old, so far so good. For under 250 this is the best I've found.
