Review on Mini PC Beelink Mini S 8/256 Gb by Adam Konowski ᠌

I took it to replace my old Gigabyte system unit. I liked the 8GB RAM with the ability to finish up to 16GB and a 256GB m2 SSD. I almost did not pay attention to Windows 11 pro in the description. In vain. Alas, the product description and instructions do NOT state that the additional HDD must be of the slim version (ie 7mm). I had only 9.5 mm from Seagate 320GB. He got up normally, but putting the lid back on turned out to be almost impossible. But after launch, at some point after the reboot, when entering the profile, instead of the desktop, only a black screen and a cursor appeared. I had to remove the HDD - everything returned to normal. SSD from Radeon 500GB was installed only with the cover screwed on. Without it, the disk simply would not fit into the slot. No matter how he puffed, he could only put it with a lid. But in the system, the disk is working fine. The audio connector is located in the front, which is extremely inconvenient, since I fastened all the audio cables on the computer desk with the expectation of connecting to the back of the system unit. I have an old Samsung monitor with VGA - I had to buy an adapter. By the way, if you urgently need to cut down the machine through the power button, then you will hardly succeed. When you press the button, it just goes into hibernation and immediately starts. Doesn't even reboot. As for the temperature, according to hwmonitor it keeps around 55-70 degrees. Windows 11 pro. I am a fan of the seven, and before that I sat on Piggy for a long time, and I didn’t even feel the 11th. Only 10k at work poyuzal a little. How tired I was with the long waits for the ate and the incomprehensible shutdown of the monitor when starting the old Gunner2. Only when switching the cable to the second HDMI, the screen turned on again. Yes, old games on hardware run great, no lags, but with surprises like this. I'm a fan of Space Rangers, and they installed without problems, freezes and sudden shutdowns. Online games did not check - I do not care about them. I would write more, but the amount of text here is limited.
