Review on 💻 Beelink Mini PC GK Mini - Windows 10 Pro, Intel J4125, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 4K Dual HDMI, HDD Extension Support, Auto Power On by Avery Sharma

I like the design of this GK Mini more than other Beelink PCs I've reviewed, it's a more modern version of their previous design. The only thing missing is a USB-C port on the front, which to be honest isn't the most important thing to me since it's mostly a data-only port (i.e. no video output or charging). This Beelink computer is the only board design that is very similar to the Raspberry Pi, except that it has a full Intel x-86 processor (specifically the Celeron J4125). While not a powerful machine, newer Intel Celeron processors actually perform pretty well (compared to what they were a few years ago). It comes with 8GB DDR4 and 256GB SATA SSD in the configuration I received. There is a slot inside the computer to add an additional 2.5" SATA drive (SSD or mechanical). All you have to do is remove 4 screws and connect it to the already installed SATA cable. You can also remove the M.2 drive and replace it with one with more storage, but you will need to reinstall Windows on the new drive. So I would suggest going with a 2.5" drive as that would be much easier. 8GB RAM installed in a SO-DIMM slot, I'm not sure if you can swap it out with a 16GB stick or not. Speed 5 gigabits per second / USB 3.2 Gen 1), 2x HDMI 2.0, 1x Gigabit Ethernet and 1x headphone jack with microphone. The only thing missing here is the aforementioned USB-C port and SD card slot. This comes with Windows 10 Pro, which comes standard on all Bilink computers, which is nice because you get more features like BitLocker disk encryption. I strongly recommend enabling it for security reasons. The performance of this machine is good (for the price), everything I've done has been fast and responsive. Some of the products of this type are too weak and difficult to do basic tasks, but this one is good. What you can get through is still limited e.g. B. playing modern graphics-intensive games. You can play around with this calculator a bit, but that should not be a reason to buy it, otherwise you will be disappointed. The integrated graphics were enough to power at least two displays, although neither was a 4K monitor. One was 1080p and the other 1440p, both ran at 60Hz with no issues.
