Runing windows 11 perfect no issues with OS stalling or anything crashing, bought another one to work as a PFsense router for a 900mbs connection, works great at both. very happy with produc
Picked up on of these to replace an old mac mini i was using as a media centre that failed. Works brilliantly for this purpose, whisper quiet and non intrusive size plus low power consumption.
I would not however recommend for games beyond maybe emulated 16bit games etc, not a problem for me though as it’s sole purpose is to run plex server.
Wow; I’m really impressed to say the least!
I’m a bit of a techy and have been for about 20 years now. I’ve had many machines and all the Windows OS systems in that time. I usually had to week them here and there to get the best out of them. However, this little pocket system a very quick and completely noiseless! Yes, I’m very impressed and highly recommend you get one. You won’t be disappointed for the price you pay and the quality you get in return!!!
I use this for personal things, playing online darts, streaming video and it handles everything with ease. Small compact it’s the perfect solution for utilising the keyboard and monitor’s that already have. Grea
For the money and the size this is a great piece of kit.
It’s not going to compete with gaming PC’s in that area but then it’s nowhere near the price of the comparable gaming PC’s.
A great Buy
40 years of IT experience & I brought the item to use Adobe Photoshop .
4 day’s later & a lot of tests this little Pc has been great.
Help for buyers of any new Pc, please take time & reboot after each of the Windows 11 updates … even after the initial one’s ( this is general information for any Pc not just this one ) !.
The speed has been superb so far and there is zero noise coming from it. It’s like it’s not even there.
I am using it for professional trading and run quite a few apps together on it and it starts them up pretty fast.
I bought this to replace a full sized desktop which was only being used as a Minecraft server – For the money, I thought that I couldn’t go wrong…..
And I was right, this is a brilliant compact piece of kit. No, it’s no powerhouse and no it won’t play games, but for a mini pc for browsing it’s on point
It’ll run Minecraft and, if you dial back ALL the graphics settings, it’ll launch Fortnite – just don’t expect Fortnite to actually run
To upgrade it, it’ll take a 2.5 inch drive (I put in an SSD) and it’ll take laptop memory – but the main drive is an NVME drive which I didn’t expect
It boots quickly and smartly – outputs to my TV and other devices happily. I can remote in to it easily too
If you want a mini pc that is handy, works well and is great value, this is your gig
If you want a mini gaming pc, this ain’t it – but that’s not this device’s point.
The device is super quick and ideal for those who want a small and light PC for running Microsoft Office and web browsing. The device is extremely low power too. Would definitely recommend.
This is a great product it is very quiet and very small and quite fast. This is the first mini pc I have had and I connected it to my tv and now enjoy a 65 inch monitor. I only use it for basic stuff not gaming.
As a value for money home office PC it runs Office 365 really well, and is also very good at streaming Netflix etc. But if you want to play games you will need a better graphics card, fortunately I am not a gamer.
Bought an earlier version of the Beelink mini for my wife last year. Great little computer then, this one is even better. Great for everyday use but would struggle for playing high intensive games. Very pleased with it so far.
Yes it’s a “great little mover” as Tommy Cannon would say.
BUT! 4K display?
I have 2 x mini PC connected to Samsung TV/Monitor via HDMI / KVM
On the smaller pc – perfect picture
On this pc – cannot produce any screen size without black edging.
Even when set to exactly the same 1680 x 1050.
So I thought contact Beelink for advice.
Waste of time, eventually replied with
“Sorry for getting back to you so late, please try other options if there is a suitable resolution”
[took 12 days to respond]
Why do companies employ non-existent support staff
Can I return it, get refunded and then buy it again at the new price??
Its a shame that I’m p’d off as it’s quite a nice bit of kit – but 42 is a few beers!!!
Replaced my old Dell as it would take me about 20 minutes to get it going and from then on everything was done at a leisurely pace. This tiny box is amazing so far. Switch on, scratch my head, it is ready. I can download something, do my accounts, send emails and surf at the same time at neckbreaking speed. Teamed up with wireless keyboard and mouse and a decent large monitor, I have bagged myself a brand new desktop for around 350 quid. Brilliant and highly highly recommended
had it up & running in next to no time. Applied w10 updates first & then carried out a w11 upgrade with no problem whatsoever. Using only for general web browsing and MS office etc. Excellent value for money and superb vendor support/communications. Very happy with my purchase.
I have been pleasantly surprised with this machine. Boot time is really quick and it motors quite well. It has no problems running Microsoft Office. It’s not a game machine but it can handle all standard programs.
It came with Windows 10 Pro and it upgraded fine to Windows 11.
I added a 1TB SSD as a D: drive and soak tested it all for several days. No problems. I can just about hear the fan and it is certainly not noisy.
Incredible value getting a virtual PC for this price. Great alternative to desktops or all in ones and great as a standby or backup at a bargain basement price. So far does all I need it to, plenty quick enough and set up was a breeze.
extremely high spec for the money, easy to set up, extremely fast, silent running, only had it a few days so still discovering, my only criticism so far is the music/speaker microphone jack at the front rather than with all the other cable entries at the rear spoils the neatness of the unit, if headphone jack was needed i’d have put 2 ports one at the back for speaker output and accept one additional at the front for headphones/microphone.
I’ve had this mini computer for 6 months now and it’s running great. Got docker for desktop installed, running single node cluster, and also installed kind (3 node cluster). With both those running it does approach max memory (8GB) but still runs ok. Customer service was excellent when i required an invoice for the product (twice!)
I wanted this to run OBS and Zoom on, and it couldn’t hack it – but its fine so far as it goes. Nicely presented, works straight out of the box.
This is a real neat bit of kit. I couldn’t find anything as cheap – even ones without Windows installed cost more. But if you want a dual boot, then its a bitch to make it work as it repeatedly defaults to Windows and you can not install Grub. So I simply installed Linux Mint over that crap – its a straight forward install, worked perfectly first time.
And the fan? I can’t hear it. But sometimes I hear the air rush thru the vents.
I bought this just to browse on as a replacement for a totally outdated small form factor PC. For the price it performs this more than adequately, being quick to start up and copes with the giant slug that is Windows 10. Handy for a upstairs PC and can be mounted behind a TV screen. This is far from being silent having a high rpm fan that comes on in short bursts, worth keeping in mind if you find any sporadic sound irritating. It is expandable and I managed to squeeze in a 512GB solid state drive in the base, as it comes with ribbon connectors and mounting screws.
Fits well on VESA mound behind a monitor as shown in photo. Suggest using powered USB hub for any external storage and devices as internal PSU is a bit underpowered causing directly attached storage drives (even usb powered SSDs) to fall off. Fault shows as devices attach and mount but then fall off in use. A powered USB hub also helps limit the reaching behind to attach USB thumb drives etc.
I wanted a mini pc that I could attach to my TV in my bedroom. I also needed something powerful enough to edit videos and stream HD movies.
This Beelink U57 i5 Mini PC has everything I was after so I ordered it and it arrived next day thanks to Prime.
It arrived well packaged and protected. Upon opening the box you get the Beelink U57 i5 Mini PC, HDMI cable, power cable, instructions and a bracket for wall mounting.
The model I ordered has an i5 processor, 8GB of DDR3 Ram and a 256GB SSD. This model can allow you to update the RAM and HDD and you can also use external HDD and Micro SD cards to extend the storage.
Setup is pretty straightforward as you’d expect from a Windows 10 machine. Once fully set up I let it go through some windows updates which is to be expected from any new windows product you purchase.
I have this connected to my router via ethernet cable but you can also conmwct via wireless on both 2.4 and 5.8Ghz.
I use this mini pc to stream and manage content from my Plex Media Server. It is lightning quick at uploading and downloading content to and from my Plex Media Server. Streaming films is an absolute joy on this mini pc, its absolutely faultless.
My daughter also loves to play Roblox and she has had about 2 days solid of playing it on this mini pc and now she wants one for her room as she says its better than playing it on her tablet.
I have a wireless keyboard and mouse connected to this via Bluetooth and it works without fault. I also connect my Samsung Galaxy s20 5G to this mini pc via the USB cable and can use my phones desktop features brilliantly so when I need to edit videos on my phone I can connect it to this pc and have it displayed on my TV now, magical.
The noise from the fan is barely noticeable when it kicks in, thanks to the design it stays pretty cool all the time.
The Beelink U57 i5 Mini PC handles multi tasking effortlessly and breezes through jobs without as much as a hiccup.
My wife uses it a lot for her work as an online travel agent so she has a headset commected to the 3.5mm audio jack to speak to clients and she has told me this works brilliantly well. We have also conmected a web cam to it and use it for zoom calls with the family now too and again this all works amazingly well.
This mini pc is truly a joy to work with and I’m so glad I purchased this brand and model.
Its fast, powerful, quiet, small, is future proof thanks to the upgrade options of storage and ram and has great connectivity options.
I have to rate this Beelink U57 i5 Mini PC 5 stars because its a really amazing mini pc for the price.
The Beelink has proven to be worth the extra 100 I spent to get a better make. I took it apart to install an extra SSD and was very impressed by the build quality – it looks like it has been made by people who really care.
The performance was also great. Ok, It’s probably not a fantastic games machine but we are not using it for games. With Word, Powerpoint, and Adobe Reader open my wife deliveres video language classes using Moodle with Blackboard Collaborate and it works without a hiccup. Great solution if you want a standard home/office PC and you want to use a large monitor or space is at a premium
Advances in processor design have enabled some remarkable leaps in computing power with lower energy use. A Mini PC takes full advantage of this, putting a powerful, everyday desktop computer in an amazingly small package. A Mini PC makes a perfect home office computer as it takes up almost no space and will plug into a home TV via HDMI. The BeeLink U57 thoughtfully comes with a mounting bracket you could use to put the device behind a screen or under a desk. With a nice wireless mouse and keyboard set up, you can make the computer “disappear” at the end of the day and reclaim the desk space. (I like the Logitech input device range for the unified receiver which connects mouse and keyboard with one unified USB transceiver, e.g. https://amzn.to/3cGgQxg) With an increase in home working, a dedicated secure computing device to connect to work makes a lot of sense. The less software added to a computer, the more secure it is likely to be.
The BeeLink U57 has a great spec for that home office use case. With an Intel i5 processor combined with a healthy 8GB of RAM and a 256GB solid state hard drive, performance on office tasks is perky with no discernible lag starting or using applications. The supplied operating system is Windows 10 Pro – the Pro moniker adds support for Bitlocker drive encryption – something that might be useful if you work on sensitive documents locally. This provides “encryption at rest” for your data so in the event of your device being stolen, the data on it will not be readable without a digital key. Pro also brings features like Hyper V virtualisation – something the home user may not use, but a useful application this enables is the Windows Sandbox – a safe place to open suspicious attachments you may receive. While we are talking about security, Windows 10 has Defender antivirus built in but also ransomware protection and a decent firewall. I’ve used this for over 10 years with no issues. The one addition I would suggest is a lightweight personal firewall like GlassWire set to “ask to connect”. Often the first thing malware needs to do is to connect out to download additional code, so this will makes sure this activity is spotted and blocked. Another useful set up activity is to Google for the “Intel Driver and Support Assistant”. With an integrated Intel chipset in the BeeLink U57, the support assistant will help you get the latest drivers for your hardware and make sure performance is optimal.
As well as dual HDMI powered by onboard Intel Iris 6100 graphics, the device has two high speed USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. The ones at the front are the high speed ones, so this would be the place to plug in any back up drives, leaving the rear ports for a USB transceiver. There is built in WiFi supporting b/g/n/ac 2.4 & 5Ghz – this will ensure fast connections with all major routers. If you have an ethernet connection near by, there is also a Gigabit ethernet port. A front mounted audio connector will handle wired headphones for video conferencing, and next to this is a USB C connector which you could use for a card reader. Not mentioned on the specs on the box is Bluetooth support – useful for connecting headphones.
Performance
The tech specs for this Mini PC are impressive for such a tiny unit. An i5 processor running at a max 3.1Ghz, combined with 8GB RAM running at an impressive 1600Mhz mean that tasks zip along. Thanks to the solid state drive boot time for a fresh system is around 10 seconds. With the devices extremely low power use, you could also just put the computer to sleep and it would wake up instantly like a tablet. Applications launch in a similarly snappy way and web browsing is seamless. Even webGL 3D animations run smoothly – see video. What you can’t expect from such a small form factor is sufficient cooling to support gaming. While the Iris graphics support Direct X 11 visual effects, frame rates won’t be high enough to run modern 3D games.
Video editing was smooth and quick, particularly if your gaphics editing program supports Intel hardware acceleration. I tested this using the inbuilt Windows editor and a short clip at 1080 HD resolution took about a second per second of footage to render, even with 3D effects applied.
When doing intensive tasks, the internal fan will spin up but the noise is hardly noticeable. Using Intel’s Extreme Tuning utility I suspect you could actually under volt / under clock the processor and achieve practically silent running.
Summary
This Mini PC hits a bit of a sweet spot. For a home / office PC you may use 5 days a week you need to be sure it will perform in a fast, lag free way doing your day to day tasks seamlessly. Many cheap Mini PCs are under powered and therefore slow and frustrating to use. This is not the case here. The BeeLink U57 zips along with memory and processor cycles to spare at a great price point.
