Review on Beelink SEI8 Mini PC - Intel i5-8279U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, 4K Dual HDMI, Windows 10 Pro by Donald Gore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Wow! Much better than expected. If you don't like huge computer ovens, go this route.

Wow! Much better than expected. Better than spending twice and getting a huge box that takes up space and replaces my oven. I bought a budget model for a family member a while back and they were amazed at how it handles most games - you can run the latest versions that require a desktop box with a 3060/70/80 GPU, don't kick ass. So far it has performed well in almost everything I use it for, namely surfing the web, browsing media, and occasionally playing Warcraft and some Steam games that run at 1920x1080 even in ultra graphics mode (all at max). work amazingly well. Has been running 24/7 for over a week now, no overheating, no crashes. HOWEVER WARNING: All ports are reversed! All USB and HDMI ports are reversed. Compared to most new mini boxes and full-fledged PCs and laptops, that's so strange! I suspect that connections on the opposite side of the earth could be installed upside down, but only on this model? Maybe someone is just trying to break the standard. However, highly recommended. If you want to ditch those massive PC cases, this is your future.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
