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

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

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

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

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.

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

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).

The 6800H is also better CPU-wise (by about 20%). There's also the 1tb version for 20 bucks more. Both have dual NVME slots. No 2.5gbe LAN, but I'd just get a USB adapter for that, they come cheap. https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-SER5-4-4GHz-Computer-Display/dp/B0C4GWLBTS/

I recently got a Beelink SER5 Max (Ryzen 7 7735HS 680M iGPU, 24GB) for my kids to play Minecraft (with some decent shader mods enabled), and it's surprisingly capable for 1080p gaming, I won't elaborate as there are a few youtube videos benchmarking a lot of games for this model so you can see exact

I have a Beelink SER8 8745HS and a SER5 MAX 6800U and both of them run PS3 and Wii U games very well
