Anyone else switching to a mini PC and feeling kind of… surprised?

After owning desktops and towers, I finally started buying Lenovo thinkcenter mini PCs. I now have a Beelink SER6 Pro with a 32GB ram and a 1TB hard drive. I’ve been using this for a at least a couple of years, so this last fall I updated all the computers at our office to BeeLink SER5. Very very pl

Can my pi5 8gig version run ps2 games smoothly?

The Pi4 overclocked to the max and using a cooler plus cooling case could run pretty much all PS2 games at least at 720p. Not sure how that translates to the 5 since I don’t know if the emulator has been optimized for it. You’d be much better off with a mini Ryzen PC. I have a Beelink SER5 and can r

Which would you choose between these two?

I have the K8 Plus. The 6800H is a completely different processor from 2022. The 8845HS is newer with more powerful 780M integrated graphics from 2024. The Beelink SER5 MAX has soldered memory and no USB4. The K8 Plus has OCuLink and other features. The K8 Plus is more powerful and more future proof

Which is the better buy for 24/7 home server?

Definitely do not go for Aoostar or lesser quality brands. If your main worry is 24/7 reliability, I’d stop thinking in terms of “which one box is perfect?” and start thinking in terms of nodes in a cluster. The Beelink SER5 Max gives you a stronger iGPU and more RAM out of the box (6800H + 32 GB DD

Stronger alternative to Raspberry Pi?

I got a Beelink Mini PC SER5 Pro running SteamOS in one of my cabs and I absolutely love it.

There are way too many options available, even searching this sub its hard to figure out which I should get for budget PS2 Emulation.

Any mini with RDNA2 Radeon RX 680M integrated graphics + 32GB of memory is a solid starting point for BatoceraOS classic console emulation and/or a BazziteOS Steam Deck console. The recently released/oddly named Beelink SER5 MAX (SER6-LP) 6800U has been popular locally for such projects.

Beelink SER5 Max, false advertisement on 6800U/H TDP and performance

Didn't realized you post it here too, since here is my main sub. Copypasta from my reply on Beelink sub -> Yeah, this appears to be something smartshift related misconfiguration in BIOS. The [SMU] logic that controls the power allocation to both CPU and GPU, not allowing CPU+GPU to access full syste

PC illiterate - Help on finding a mini

The problem with the Beelink SER5 MAX 7735HS beyond the rebadged 6800H processor is the cost cutting lack of USB4 and the fact it's never been listed on the official website. I've also read that these 24GB LPDDR5 memory Beelink minis have problems like this. https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/s/rECBW7

Tech help

the ram market is fuuuucked but for like 500 bucks you can get a decent mini pc, checkout the beelink SER5 max (7735hs, 24gb ram). I have a laptop with the same chip and beam runs at medium with a couple traffic cars pretty well. The iGPU is very good, mostly bottlenecked by the bandwidth of the ram
