Review on 💻 Beelink Versatile Mini PC 8th Generation Intel i5-8279U, 4 Cores (Up to 4.1GHz), 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10 Pro Small Form Factor Desktop Computer with 4K Dual HDMI, WiFi, Quiet Operation, Win11 Compatible by Gregory Abercrombie

I had an ASUS i5 laptop with 12 gigabytes of RAM that came out about five years ago that was starting to give me problems. The once fast network connection (wired) became problematic; ran diagnostics and reloaded the driver and made sure there was no malware or virus but this computer is starting to feel old; even upgraded to an SSD. It's time to replace it and I don't need a laptop anymore (it used to be my mobile office) so I was looking for a desktop but didn't want anything big. Although I needed a spec update, I don't play games - I just needed something reliable and something faster than my old laptop. hours, and the whole experience is like day and night. Network speed now reaches 800Mbps (compared to 300 on an old laptop on a good day); Even the USB hub that connected to the USB-3 port on the old one is now connected to the USB-C port. The Windows 10 update didn't take long. My Microsoft account migrated all the settings and it worked like a dream. I'm very surprised at how good this machine is out of the box. However, time will tell how legal and durable it is.
