SER5

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

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

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

The Beelink SER5 MAX I recently setup included a clean windows 11 install. I was completely blown away by the lack of bloatware and legit just kind of stared for a few minutes as I contemplated life and the meaning of an OEM machine NOT having bloat/spyware galore (well beyond win 11 itself).

honestly those are all pretty light workloads, you dont need much. a beelink ser5 or eq12 would be plenty - they go for like $150-250 on amazon and have decent cpus. or if you want even cheaper, grab a used lenovo thinkcentre tiny or dell optiplex micro off ebay for like $80-100. either way 16gb ram

I have a beelink ser5 max with a full batocera build installed on a secondary drive. You can find the system itself for around the 350+ mark with some shopping, though it seems to be running a bit more expensive now (I bought before tariffs etc became an issue). It comes with win11 pro but you can i

ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Beelink SER5 MAX. The Ryzen 7 5800H is PLENTY fast for my taste. Then, once I upgraded the RAM from 16GB to 32GB - Now this puppy SCREAMS! I highly advise you to at least look into them. I've never had one problem - well, only something very minor that was actually my fault: and I

up until recently I ran ~25 containers and ~6 VMs on my mini PC, a Beelink SER5 Max 32GBthat I got last July for a little over $300. Virtually my entire homelab was on it, and I still had about 40% of the RAM free. Handled Jellyfin transcoding without missing a beat and can even run a small 7b qwen

I believe gamescope only really works on amd hardware, which would explain why chimera drops to desktop, since it can't load gamescope. Works well on my beelink SER5 pro.
