Beelink U55 Mini PC Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i3-5005U Processor 8GB RAM 256GB SSD, 4K HD Dual HDMI USB 3.0 Port, Dual Band WiFi Gigabit Ethernet BT 4.2 Support Auto Power On

I ordered this with the intention of creating a Linux-based emulation station with the machine.To begin, I am an IT technician and have been building computers for at least the past ten years now. I am very technically savvy with computers both hardware wise and software wise.TLDR: This computer is fantastic in all regards with no compromises.To begin, let's talk about the packaging. The packaging was astonishingly clean and felt quality to open. After opening the box, you have the PC (which is roughly about the size of a square tissue box) and above it, a large amount of accessories. This includes an HDMI cable, the power cable, and I believe a USB-C cable. You also get brackets and mounting screws underneath the PC (which I didn't use but it IS handy to have just in case!)The first thing that I did when I turned it on was immediately install Batocera. I can safely say that this was incredibly easy and quick. Just plug in your USB stick and install it.I noticed that the SSD was very snappy. They definitely did not cheap out on the SSD as it reads and writes very fast.Once everything was setup, I tested several emulators within Batocera.It ran almost everything flawlessly. There is stuttering initially with Gamecube games but this is just the texture cache building up. Afterwards, every game I threw at it ran at full speed. Gamecube, PS1, PSP, and everything below it. For the price you pay, it's a no brainer. It's so much more powerful than any Raspberry Pi you can buy and it definitely kicks the butt of any of the Celeron and Atom mini PCs available on Amazon.While we're speaking about performance, let's talk about the physical computer itself. It has tons of IO, two USBs in the front, a large power button (with a bright LED which I appreciate!), USB-C... Most importantly, there's two HDMIs in the back, letting you drive multiple monitors. I am using only one of them for my 4k TV. It'll definitely be a great backup as a work computer when necessary. The case, while plastic, feels very premium. You can barely hear it, especially when you're playing something on your monitors/TVs.Without a doubt, if you purchase this mini PC, you will be happy. The package, the performance, the IO, the physical device itself, it's all very well made and clearly carefully designed. I highly recommend this Mini PC to ANYONE with a passing interest.

The media could not be loaded.  I own previously a Beelink Celeron mini pc (that I ended up giving to a family in need), and although it performs really well on daily casual tasks and media consumption, there is still a lot to be desired for when it comes to some specific tasks like encoding short video clips or exporting photos. Although an Intel i3 and Intel GPU may not be the best for those tasks, it is a compromise in terms of cost. Since those tasks are done on rare occasions, this Beelink U55 is a good option to suite those use cases.The package was a little bigger than I expected. It is twice the size of the Celeron version. Apparently, the U55 is double the size of the Celeron version to include a cooling fan, which makes sense as the i3 cpu is more powerful than the Celeron. Inside the box includes the mini pc, power adapter, 1 long and 1 short HDMI cables, VESA mount adapter, and user manual. I bought the 8GB/128GB variant. The PC itself looks very solid. The case is very well ventilated to blow out heat. It is very light and can be easily carried in a small bag.The setup is very quick and easy. It comes pre-installed with Windows 10 Home (a $100+ value for free). Network connectivity via WiFi is very stable. I downloaded LibreOffice (a free office suite), and this thing is ready for daily productivity in just 15 minutes. But of course, downloading the latest Windows updates took around another 15 minutes. Although the Windows 10 Home with a free office suite is already great, I wanted a more robust operating system, so I decided to install Linux Mint.Configuring the boot sequence in the BIOS is straightforward and I was able to run the Linux Mint install from a USB flash drive. You can also choose the boot device by pressing F7. The system is fast, and the Linux install was done in just a few minutes. All the hardware was detected from the Linux install. My peripherals and PC accessories connected fine (headphones, speakers, keyboard, mouse, printer, external drives). I was so impressed how I was able to get this configured, up and running in a very small amount of time. This is my first Intel i3 cpu, and I was a little skeptical because most of my PCs either has 6 or 8 cores with high CPU speeds, but this dual core/4 thread cpu is not bad at all, although I wouldn't recommend this for PC gaming at all. For general productivity, this is great.Overall, this is a great and fast PC for the price and form factor. I got mine for around $290. Please watch video for my setup. If you are looking for a Mini PC for your day to day productivity, this PC is an excellent option.

The media could not be loaded.  I purchased this as a gift for my wife. It worked great for four months, then suddenly shut itself off and would never power up again. The power light would flash when I pressed the power button, and that's all. I tried another AC adapter, same result.

Ho comprato questo prodotto principalmente perchè volevo un pc piccolo ma allo stesso tempo abbastanza potente, ad un prezzo non troppo alto. Innanzi tutto mi è arrivato di domenica, quindi che dire. L'installazione di windows avviene automaticamente al primo avvio, ti viene chiesto semplicemente un account microsoft e di specificare delle preferenze. Per quanto riguarda il rumore della ventola, poco e niente ed è piccolissimo. Arriva con viti e una piccola staffetta che si può usare per attaccarlo direttamente al monitor (se predisposto). COme potenza mi sembra super soddisfacente per i miei usi. Io ho preso quello con 16gb di ram e 512 di ssd. Ho provato ad esportare un video da premiere pro di circa 20 minuti e ci ha messo molto molto meno rispetto al solito. Ho provato anche a giocare ad un gioco e va benissimo. Per le azioni quotidiane inoltre è super scattante, apre tutto velocemente. Quindi per ora sono molto soddisfatta. Non ho avuto bisogno di contattare il venditore per ora, quindi su quello non saprei.

Der AUX Ausgang ist defekt. Ich habe alle meine Kopfhörer sowie sonstigen Geräte mit AUX Kabel angeschlossen sowie die Treiber aktualisiert. Jedoch ohne Erfolg.Bei einem Neugerät in dieser Preiskategorie kann ich erwarten, dass alles reibungslos funktioniert!!!!

Funziona molto bene, costa il giusto, è veloce, ha il riavvio automatico in caso di mancanza tensione. Un applauso al support della Beelink, rispondono subito e sono molto efficienti. Consigliato.

La minipc es de fácil instalción, el tamalo es cómodo, agregué un disco duro hdd con mucha facilidad. El aparato es potente y funciona muy bien su salida HDMI. Buen rendimiento, funcionan muy bien programas como LightRoom o Stata. Es silencioso y no se calienta tras el uso diario superior a 12 horas.
