Something with the Ryzen 780m or 890m integrated graphics & that has a oculink or USB4/thunderbolt port My vote is the Gmktec k8 plus it has been a little powerhouse for me it plays most games med-high settings 1080p 50-60fps and with the oculink port you can buy a eGPU dock and graphics card down t

There isn’t a simple and good solution for time crisis 2 with 2 players in my opinion unfortunately. Time crisis 2 in arcades ran on 2 separate cabinets linked together, the game has 2 players going on different paths with their own guns and screens. MAME for arcade emulation also doesn’t run TC2 we

If you live in any part of the Apple ecosystem the Mac Mini M4 is a plus! My granddaughter has a 24GB Mac Mini M4 and lives almost exclusively in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone/iPad/Apple watch/Apple TV/etc). Having said that, she still has a Windows laptop she has to use a couple of times a week for a

I have a Beelink SER5 which is a Ryzen 7 6800U and it plays PS2 games perfectly with upscaling. It does an impressive job at keeping up with PS3 and WiiU games, as well (at least the LEGO games, which were the main ones we ran). I believe mine has 32GB RAM and I upgraded the internal drive to a 1TB

This is basically about budget and expectations. I can't attest to Beelink but most GMKtec models with full featured USB4 support PD 3.0 100W with 15W PD out. I know my K8 Plus support 15W out and I'm pretty sure the recently released budget M8 PRO 6650H should but I don't know anyone who's tested i

Great post! Genuine extensive experience with many machines is invaluable information, so thanks for sharing. I'm just an average home user but my experience with Beelink has been nothing short of incredible. Love my ser8 and ser9 and I can also vouch for their customer service. I messed up and trie

Let's try to get as close to "Apples-to-Apples" as possible, using a 1-year warranty, dependably sourced Beelink SER8 8845HS as the example.

I like my Beelink SER8 AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS. It's fast, reliable, and runs cool. However, I think the requirement for 3 M.2 slots will be the limiting factor as most of the mini PCs I've looked at had two M.2 slots. When asking AI for mini PCs with three or more M.2 slots, it returned the Minisforum M

Technically, none of these Chi-NUC brands have been on the market long enough to warrant "reliability", notably with Geekom & GMKtec having less history than Beelink & Minisforums. Possibly, the best perspective is customer service. Beelink currently has the best consensus, with Minisforum taking th
