Beelink minipc S12 pro. Δεν περίμενα ποτέ ότι θα υπάρχει pc με 16Gb ram και 500GB σκληρό με 250 ευρώ τιμή. Κινεζια και έχει αντέξει, φτου φτου μη το ματιασω, 1.5 χρόνο.Τρέχει απρόσκοπτα μέχρι και photoshop, ψιλο-κολωνει σε Davinci Resolve αλλά νταξ..... Με N100 επεξεργαστή δεν περίμενα θαύματα.

Raspberry Pi?

Mini pcs are better. I have the beelink S12 pro. It has intel N100 which can easily transcode 4 streams at once

Plex pass for Dummies

No, if you are a part of his Plex Home you get all the same benefits His computer is either shutdown or in sleep mode. Just like any other normal computer does if not configured for 24/7 usage.

What's Wrong with a Basic Plex Server Install on Windows

Nothing wrong at all. I still have the windows that came installed on beelink s12 pro mini PC. Lots of posts here on how to use Linux and/or dockers I got none of that. Ars and Plex installed on windows. Works beautifully.

Is there an affordable (<$200) low power device PC out there to run torrents and a single stream 4k Plex server?

With RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon and Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake availability to reduce budget is the compromise on build quality (like the AK1PLUS) or overall performance. The better build quality would be the Beelink MINI S12 N100 or S13 N150 which of both doubled in price since last year. For Plex I would

QuickSync vs dedicated GPU for transcoding, is the quality difference actually noticeable

My Plex/Jellyfin media server is a cheap $150 BeeLink S12 Pro mini pc sitting in a shelf in a rack with $1000s of dollars of Supermicro and Dell servers. 😆🤪 I get a kick out of it every time I see it sitting there. There are at least 11 music streams and 1 4K stream running 24/7. I can stream anothe

Best OS to host your Plex server in 2025?

Also got Plex pass and hw transcoding again, just works. Tested locally with an LG TV app, remotely on my android phone an

Low-power hardware suggestion?

My N100 Beelink S12 Pro uses 10-24W. I'm in an RV and boondock a lot so I count every watt. It's very efficient. About 2-4x more power consumption than a RPi but way more than 2-4x more powerful. I run over 100 Kubernetes containers including a full media stack.

Can't decide between Beelink SER9 mini PC vs gaming desktop — need advice (7 year plan)

Although I do have a Beelink S12 pro for about 15 months now and it works flawlessly, the general "feel," one gets when reading on Reddit is that all these ( any brand, not Beelink in particular) mini pcs are not famous for their longevity ( fingers crossed for mine ). If you are after longevity I t
