Question Do you have experience with BeeLink as MiniPC for Linux?

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello Friends

Few days ago I watched this video on YouTube

Inside China's Mini PC Production: How Tiny Computers Are Made

So for this 2005

• Do you have experience with BeeLink as MiniPC for Linux?

It about:

• Quality
• Performance
• Temperature/Heat
• "Quiet" sound

The purpose is to analyze two things:

• For Development (Java and Spring technologies)
• For Server (For a small/medium company for N users)

Thank You

Not with Linux, but my HTPC is indeed a Beelink.

Rock solid build, and quiet.

It also serves as the 24/7 interface to my house security cams, and playing video/music from my NAS.

I see no reason why one would not serve your purposes.

I've owned a couple Beelinks and they are both still in service (daughter has one and friend's kids have the other). They are excellent systems in terms of quality and reliability. Never experienced heat or noise issues with either and should perform well for your stated uses, in general.

What kind of server are you planning for and with how much storage? How many actual users?

Do you have any kind of issue about heat? it in general and mostly for the SSD

Sure, Spring Boot Web app ... the storage to start with 4TB and users would be 15/20

To you both;

1. Pls, could you take photo of your mini pc with an iron, bottle/box of milk, cereal box? I want have a perfect reference about the size. Thanks in advance
2. What is the weight of the Mini Pc?
3. Would be BeeLink again your best option? Or Do you have perhaps other preference? and Why?
4. What is the consumption of energy? I mean it increase your bills?

Thanks in advance to you both

Pictures? Sorry, but that isn't possible. Both are 1000+ miles away from me, in opposite directions.

The GTR Pro is in California and the Beelink Mini PC SER5 MAX is in Virgina.

I also had one of these: ASRock Industrial AMD Barebone 4X4 BOX-4800U

All three were tiny. Quiet. Ran cool.

This is an old picture of the GTR Pro (first one I had and now with daughter in CA) comparing size to a mouse.
