Beelink Mini PC, Mini S12 Intel 12th N95(Up to 3.4GHz), 8GB DDR4 256GB M.2 SSD, Desktop Computers Support 4K Dual HDMI Display/USB3.2/2.5Gbps LAN/WOL Home/Office

I’ve been using the Beelink Mini S12 Mini PC and it’s been a great little computer for everyday use. It’s very small, quiet, and doesn’t take up much space on the desk, which I really like. It runs smoothly for browsing, streaming, office work, and regular multitasking. Setup was simple, and it works well with dual monitors too. It’s not meant for heavy gaming or video editing, but for daily tasks it performs really well. Overall, it’s a good value mini PC if you want something compact, fast enough for normal use, and energy-efficient. Great choice for home office or family computer.

I have tested this out almost completely, and I have to say I am happier with this mini-PC than I ever was with those bulky gaming PCs. These can fit almost anywhere, the vesa mount (though I didn't use it) is great for those looking to install this away from prying eyes. As for its performance, it works VERY good with games, it loads up quickly and you barely feel any lag, it easily recognizes the usb controllers used, and for the price, this computer really works so well. I don't use it on wifi, so I cannot comment on that, but the LAN works perfectly well, so surfing the internet or playing online is as smooth as butter! The case is strong and fits sturdily on any surface you place it on, and I was able to easily install my solid slate hard drive from my failed gaming PC into this one, so I didn't lose anything important from my old PC. The video card, though integrated, is pretty good; works well and plays games fairly well. Finally, my only complain about this is that is only has 1 audio jack port, and while it's good and functional, I have to constantly switch between my speakers and headphones. As for the USB ports, all 4 are 3.0, but they are just 4. You need an USB expansion port it you want to plug in more things. For myself, the mouse, keyboard and external drive are a must, but for that last port, I had to get an expansion port for my game controller, dvd disk reader, and printer. All that aside, for the sales price I paid for this, this is far and beyond worth it. HIGHLY recommended

I own three of these; I use them primarily as smart TV boxes that integrate with my home entertainment system. They have all the connectivity, the speed, and the storage that I need for these uses. They are high quality and a good value for the money. I have also on one occasion swapped drives in one of these when I needed a backup machine just to continue working on word processing and Internet tasks related to my business as an author while I had my main machine in the shop for repair. This device was able to pick up the slack and allow me to continue on painlessly while I waited for my desktop machine to come back out of the shop. BTW: When I got them, I installed Windows Tiny 11 on all of them to make the machines run fast and light on resources rather using the full bloat version of Windows 11.

Right off the bat: I'll tell you that I purchased this specifically with KODI in mind. Why: I wanted to see if I could replace my current home built HTPC system, as that older system would not migrate to Win11 (and Win10 ends support in 2025). By the time I priced MB, CPU, Mem, etc for a system build that could run Win11 the total price easy rose over $300+... and honestly that didn't seem to make sense to me. But this system, the Beelink Mini S12 Pro, hit the mark with features and price. (Paid US$ 159 using the $40 off coupon). If you did a search for KODI in the reviews, let me say it runs it flawlessly. I have this box (N100/16GB /500GB) set up as pass-through in Kodi -- hooked up to an Onkyo AVR (TX-NR676) -- connected to a Hisense A7 85" TV. I have an HP IR receiver (shown in picture next to the S12 Pro) and I still use a Harmony 900 to control KODI (as my devices are behind a wall, and not exposed). My source videos are on a NAS (not on this box). Running 4K on this little box exceeded my expectations. Is it the solution for all the world ills? No. Likely gamers would not want to use this ,as at its core is a mobile processor (the Intel N100). But for me, that is a plus as it dramatically reduces the power consumption while getting me a system that is Win11 capable. The only negative that I can think of is that the system will not power up via an IR signal. But that is the same for most computers... so I won't ding that a star from my review. (HOWEVER, if Beelink were to add an IR Receiver into this box that could power up the system, they would rule the HTPC-in-one-box market.) A very good system at a fair price.

Worked well, until it didn't. I was first impressed by this low cost PC. It fit the bill for serving movies and music as well as a bit of web surfing. Unfortunately after 10 months it just died. Blip and then nothing. Tried to reset the CMOS, reseated memory and HD, verified that the power supply was good. Nothing brought it back to life. I was considering a RMA as it was still under warranty, but I'd have to ship it back to China at my expense and also the terms of their warranty are onerous, having many clauses to disallow any claims. I reckon I'll just eat this one, but Beelink will never expect my business again Revision: I contacted Beelink and they were very responsive. They had me try a few things and then agreed that it was dead. I was able to send back the unit to a US address for review. It took a week or so but they responded that they would send me a new PC. They did not have the Mini S!2 in stock so they shipped an EQ14 as an upgrade. Received it yesterday and am impressed so far. Linux loads fine without an issues. Summary: Customer service was excellent. Jury still out on the product, but I'm optimistic about this replacement.

We purchased 22 of these computers to replace our Windows 10 computers that could not be upgraded to Windows 11. These computers are great for business workstations. The all have Windows 11 Pro installed and activated. I didn't have the slightest problem setting up all 22 computers. Someone else left a review that the internal hard drive was actually a SATA3 SSD, but that was not the case. I opened all 22 and they all indeed had a half terabyte M.2 SSD drive and a free port to add a SATA3 2.5" drive. These computers are more than fast enough for our various medial offices. The 2 monitors support also worked without problem. This computer even includes a HDMI cable if you need one. For the price, I can't think of anything better. 5 Stars!

This tiny box is doing everything that my big box with fans and a big power supply used to do, before it was declared obsolete by the manufacturer.

Writing this after using for a year. It has been an incredible machine that still runs as fast as it did when I got it. My first foray into mini-PCs and I definitely will be purchasing another one after my experience with this. All of the slots are very usable and have assisted me in my various music and 3D projects. This is a definite purchase if you are in the market for a mini-PC.

I got this power house of a computer, it was time for an upgrade. I plugged it in, connected my things to it and powered it up. Had to do a few upgrades but it was fast and easy. For such a little box it does much better than my old desktop. It is quieter, definitely takes up less room. I am very pleased with it so far, it has been running for a week now!!!!!

We use Apple products but every now and then you need a PC to do something you just can’t find an app for the Mac. I was going to buy a used laptop but this was cheap and new and fits our use case perfectly. It was super easy to set up although I did need to buy a wired mouse and keyboard. The Windows 11 Pro installed was at end of life but I was able to install a newer version without a problem. There was no garbage installed. Everything runs quickly and smoothly. Can’t go wrong for the money.

I like these mini computers a lot, and ended up buying two of them after owning one for almost a year. They have their limitations with 4 cores, but knowing that, these things perform like a 8th generation i5 laptop in such a small form factor, they can handle business apps with ease and are more than well suited for home entertainment. I ran into an issue with the last Win 11 24H2 upgrade, and the beelink customer support team helped resolve it with a few emails.

This thing is a little powerhouse when it comes to using it as a plex server. I originally thought it wasnt able to keep up with streaming demand but it turns out that my external HDD are the issue. Would definitely get another in if needed. Only issue I have is when watching a YouTube video the screen will flicker and flash out if it's not full screen.

Needed low power PC to run Home Assistant for home automation, and installing Linux and application was easy. It has been running well 24/7 for a few weeks so hoping that it continues to do so. Only tweek I needed to do was to change behaviour so that it powered up after a power failure. Easy to get into bios and find this in “PCH-IO Configuration”- “S0 State” is to enable auto power on and “S5 State” is to disable auto power on. More detailed instruction easy to find online. Very pleased with this little PC.
