Review on 💻 Beelink Mini PC Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i5 8279U 4.1GHz, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, 4K Dual HDMI Support, Dual Band WiFi, BT5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, Auto Power On - 4 Cores 8th Gen Intel Core i5 by Corey Krull

I've been using Linux, Fedora 33 on my Beelink 16GB 512GB NVMe M.2 Mini PC for about two weeks. I hooked it up to a 43-inch 3840 x 2160 RCA monitor (well, a TV). I also have 2 USB hard drives connected. Pros: So far it's working perfectly. Very happy with them. The USB drive was pretty easy. I had to remove the Windows partitions to install Linux. The computer is significantly quieter than my old (approx. 2012) laptop. Sometimes when I charge Bilink I can hear the fan turning on, but it's still significantly quieter... than a laptop. I don't use it for gaming, so I have no opinion on how it performs as a gaming system. I've never booted into Windows (immediately booted from a live Linux USB and then reformatted the system drive). I used the monitor with my old laptop (1920 x 1080). Small font at full resolution is a problem. I use. Cons: I wish I could buy the Microsoft tax-free version. I've never booted into Windows. There's no reason I had to buy a license to run Microsoft Windows. I have a 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD but need more storage. I have some family photos. External drives are probably a better approach than using an internal SSD, but that's the only thing I regret at the moment.
