I’m quite impressed with this. It came with Windows 11 pre-installed, and was very simple to set-up. It is a very small footprint so no thief of space, and the unit has a tidy aesthetic. Virtually silent whilst running on everything I’ve used it for so far. Note that most of what I am doing is cloud based stuff – so the grunt work is done by the computer on the other end of the browser. But for this type of purpose it has honestly been flawless. If you have more demanding needs please read other reviews of people who push it harder. For most folk who do everything on the web this is a good alternative to a laptop if you have a home office set-up.
I mainly use my pc (s) for music and photography as well as the normal day to day stuff we all need.
The first one sadly failed on me but that could easily happen with any brand.
More than happy now with my replacement.
It’s fast with a great looking build (even if it is a plastic body which actually provides a more solid signal from WiFi through a steel body.
Has plenty of ports and the small footprint is a boon to those of use who don’t need something the size of an anchor on there desk.
The built in graphics are great for something this size and I would have no problem buying one of these again.
(As a matter of fact I tried to find one with the Ryzen 9 chip in it but unfortunately had to go to a second brand with a larger footprint to acquire its sibling)
Recommended for the bang for the buck you get from these.
It allows me to create a Depressive Suicidal Black Metal (DSBM) album, also, it let’s me play games n is a fast loading pc for YouTube videos when posted. Ontop of this, it’s able to run Total War: Warhammer 3 but needs a fan on it to do so or it will get hot. Age of empires, Stronghold, total war Medievil 2, no probs. Also, it’s nice it has the operating windows on it and you don’t gotta buy the disk with operating systems on it for 90 bucks like in the mid 2000s. Deffo buy this lil pc. It also fits in a jacket pocket / big cargo pants pocket and snug in a coffin.
I wanted to replace my kid’s laptop which has been recently water damaged. This is the third laptop I have lost in the past few years in the same pattern. So I was looking for a compact desktop as I didn’t have much space for the tower PCs. This TRIGKEY Ryzen 7 5800H is among the best specs available in the market and its mini size is just perfect.
It comes with a 4.4Ghz processor supported by 1 TB SDD and 16m L3 all of which are extendable. I allow multiple screen connectivity with the HDMI and type C connectivity. It has both LAN and Wi-Fi built in. All these specs are more than my kid’s current requirement; however, they will help go a long way and the ability to upgrade is a bonus.
It comes with built-in windows and needs to be connected with the screen, keyboard and mouse and then good to go.
Overall, it is a great mini PC for my kids
I have this PC hooked up to our TV, i use a wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to great success. I have tried this PC with steam games like PUB G and it was okay but i don’t think it handles high graphic settings well and as such Cloud gaming looks and plays so much better in my opinion. It’ll handle indie type games well but not triple A games.
My TV is 50 inches and playing games from the cloud such as “Control” is fantastic because the huge screen makes for a really cool enjoyable experience as do the superb graphics. I’ve no doubt that GeForce NOW would also work great with this mini PC.
Other benefits of having this hooked up to my TV is the fact i can browse the web super fast and i can also watch movies from Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Video ect…
This mini PC is good quality. It’s so tiny and well built. It’d be great for travelling with. It packs a lot of punch for such a reasonable price.
In my day-to-day tasks, this mini PC has been a reliable performer. The processor handles multitasking effortlessly, making work and occasional gaming smooth. The storage is ample for my needs, though I haven’t come close to needing an expansion. Its small footprint is a bonus, easily tucked behind my monitor. However, I’ve noticed it gets quite warm during intensive tasks, which is something to keep in mind. The triple-screen capability is useful, although I rarely need more than two. Its myriad of ports are appreciated, but the placement can be a bit awkward dependingonyoursetup.
The packaging first. This exudes quality and everything is contained in 2 inner packages.
The machine itself looks high quality and took about 15mins to get going. The updates came quickly and the 25H2, took around 1.5 hours for the complete new W11 update. Compared to more expensive more traditional machines this is terrific value with 32Gb ram and a 1 terabyte SSD. Nothing else comes close at the price. W11 loads in around 10 secs from cold! I don’t do gaming so I can’t comment on that, but photo editing and general computing is great. When I bought it there was a voucher available and if this happens again, I would say buy it! I can’t say better than that.
The instruction manual says on inner page, Thankyou for buying this BeeLink product, or words to that effect. So there must be a tie up between this company and BeeLink. Another plus point.
It’s a tiny little brick, and the 5800H is a more powerful CPU than my current gaming build running a 5600X. That is paired with a full fledged modern GPU so clearly trumps gaming, but this doesn’t sit ashamed, because without a dedicated graphics card it still lets me play a few cheap and old games at muted resolutions and graphics settings.
It is primarily a workhorse, designed for media consumption, browsing, tasks and processing, but it is capable of lightweight gaming.
It has a hdmi, displayport, and other ports as seen on the images.
The best thing is how everything is detachable, and it remains a tiny brick that takes less space than a laptop. Throw it in a suitcase and as long as you have a monitor on the other side, you could travel between work and home with this tiny thing, and it wouldn’t affect how much stuff you can take.
Replaced a dying laptop with this kit. Took a slight risk as not had experience of a micro pc before but hells this is quick. Probably 10-20 seconds and it’s ready to go. Fully able to utilise my 150mb Wi-Fi and all ports are there for games and general use. Running Baldurs Gate 3 and handles it like a winner. Windows pre installed. SSD external drive added for more storage and space saved is immense compared to the old laptop. Cracking piece of ki
It’s packed into a really small compact device that has a really good set up with ports easy to access and a simple layout but really good build quality and design, it also has a good cooling technology inside and isn’t loud like larger PCs can be.
What i love about it is the fact it is excellent value as a stand alone gaming pc , the graphics, speed and performance are as good as some PCs double the price and three times it’s size.
We are using this solely for gaming , which it excells at , it has blown me away really with the specs and performance, it can be placed on a desktop easily , it takes up little space, it can rest on the palm of my hand it’s that small, so this is an excellent choice for people looking to save space, or people who like to swap from console to pc easily like my son , who uses this as well as an Xbox Series X.
This is a superb , powerful gaming PC that packs a punch for its small size , it’s easy to set up and with no lagging or overheating problems at all , it takes up no space at all and has good connectivity options and I like the way the ports are on it and the built in cooling system is excellent too, not noisy and cab be placed on a desk it’s so small.
A little powerhouse of a gaming PC
Im heavily interested in Retro Game emulation. I have tried Raspberry Pi and also HP Elitedesk but this little box of tricks blows them all away. Ok its a bit more expensive than the hardware i have mentioned, but its so worth the investment. Its super quiet, fast and efficient. It emulates Nintendo Switch and PS3 also. Very happy i invested.
I have always had big desktop PCs in the past. My most recent one was starting to show its age and I had the chance to try this as a replacement. I was a bit sceptical that something so small would be up to the job, but tried to keep an open mind.
The most striking thing about this is the size. It is roughly the same as the power supply/port replicator for my work laptop! There are inputs for power and ethernet and outputs for HDMI, DisplayPort, USB A x4 and USB C x1, and headphones. Inside there is a processor, graphics processor, 16GB of RAM and a 500GB SSD drive. All the memory slots are used up but I think it is possible to expand that, though it is just as easy to plug in an external drive.
The first big surprise was to find that this comes with Windows 11 Pro installed. The product description page on Amazon did not mention an OS so I pessimistically assumed I would learning Ubuntu and then maybe purchasing Windows if I wanted it, so it was a great surprise to find that the machine booted into Windows setup, which was very straightforward.
Connection to my home wifi network was easy and worked perfectly well, but once I was all set up I used the wired ethernet connection instead. Bluetooth connection was also easy and I used that to connect to a speaker while my ‘proper’ speakers were still plugged into my old PC.
It did not take me long to make up my mind that this is miles better than the big desktop PC I had, so I moved it across to my desk to become the main PC, where it now occupies a few inches of space under one of the monitors instead of a huge amount of space under the desk. I am now using both the video outputs to power 27″ gaming monitors and the display is a lot better than I am used to. I immediately noticed the difference playing Age of Empires.
I have used both rear USB ports to connect a printer and my mouse/keyboard (one dongle controls both). If I want to plug in any other devices I still have two sockets free at the front, though if this was a problem and I had loads of devices I would probably use a USB expander thing.
Is it perfect? Of course not, but I only have minor complaints. For example, my biggest complaint is that I would have preferred an audio socket on the rear to plug my speakers into, instead of having that cable sticking out of the front. It would also be useful to have a USB-C socket on the rear for expansion.
Any other annoyances are all down to Windows 11 which I am not yet used to, having previously only used Windows 10 on my PC and laptop.
Now that so much storage and even applications are cloud-based, and so many devices are connectable by Bluetooth and wifi ,you really can get everything you need in one tiny box like this. The only difference for me now is that I have a load of extra space under my desk and no noise because this machine is all solid state with no moving parts and no fan needed. I had not realised how noisy my old box had become.
I love everything about this, apart from the speaker cable sticking out of the front, but that is a small price to pay for all the upsides.
This is an amazing small form factor (or Tiny form factor) gaming pc, in a case that is 4.9 Inches x 4.5 inches x 1.5 inches in size. This comes well equipped with 16gb ram, a 512gb NVME hard drive and a Ryzen 7 5800H processor, linked with AMD 8 core graphics.
Inside the box you get the Micro PC, power cable/cord, 2 HDMI cables (a shorter cable and a longer cable), plus a mounting plate to attach the PC to the back of a monitor (hence the shorter HDMI cable) and an instruction booklet.
Powering on brings the Windows 11 setup which is relatively easy, and within 30 minutes or so you are ready to go (one thing I noticed though was the location set my pc up to be 8 hours out of sync, so make sure you set the right zone). Plug in a keyboard and mouse and away you go.
The PC has a number of ports for you to use, as follows:
On the front you get
* 2 USB 3 ports
* 1 USB C port
* 1 headphone/speaker port
* Power button
* Clear CMOS port
On the back you get
* DC input socket/port
* HDMI port
* Display Port
* USB 3 port
* USB 2 port
* RJ45 LAN port
There are also vents on the back to allow heat dissipation, although in an hour gaming session it didn’t seem to get very hot.
Before I continue, full disclosure I have only used the HDMI port for my monitor and not tried the Display Port or USB C output, but the listing states it will accept a triple monitor setup and I don’t doubt that for a second.
Upgrading the Trigkey should be very straight forward and in fact the instruction booklet actually shows you how to do this, which is excellent. 4 screws hold the base on, and you get access immediately to an SATA HD socket that will take up to 2TB in size. The ram installed is 2x8Gb ram, DDR4 3200MHz in dual channel setup, so you could upgrade 2 64Gb (2x32Gb sticks) very easily, and the NVME slot is easily accessed and upgraded (my model is the 512Gb 16Gb model, but I would plump for the 1Tb 32Gb model if I had the choice).
Performance wise, this has blown my mind. I have Game Pass on my account so once I had logged in here I installed a racing game (wreckfest), slapped it to Ultra, plugged in my joypad and was amazed at how smooth it was, with zero slowdown. The details and clarity were fantastic as I imagined I would need to have settings on low. I don’t expect that AAA titles will run as smoothly, but it is very early days for me. I will install a few beefier games over the next few weeks to try them out, and will come back and update as soon as I have results.
If I am being negative, then the WiFi could be better. On my gaming laptop I get 280-300Mbps download, consistently, where this TrigKey PC only gave me a maximum of 54Mbps, sitting next to the laptop. This may improve by being closer to the router, but I don’t think it will be far different from the result I achieved.
I don’t know what I expected from this Micro PC, but it has blown all of those expectations away. Office runs like a dream on here, gaming is above what I expected, and upgrading is a cinch. Something else to remember, unlike a laptop that is bulky to carry around, this will fit inside a bag/handbag very easily with the power supply so taking this to work is far easier, just nab a mouse and keyboard at work (and a monitor).
Overall, despite the slow WiFi performance, this is an unbelievable Tiny PC and should handle most of the games you throw at it, although you may need to drop the settings on beefier games. Outstanding PC.
…so don’t let the diminuitive size of the TRIGKEY lessen your expectations. I have several PCs, a couple of laptops and also a Mini-PC. The Mini-PC is a very similar in size to the TRIGKEY S5 and it’s a very well known brand within the world of Mini-PCs – however it is an older machine having a Core i5 internally. I have been pleased and impressed with the performance of the older Mini-PC, but it can’t compete with this amazing little TRIGKEY. Maybe that’s to be expected but actually even my full-size desktop tower PC feels somewhat slugglish alongside the TRIGKEY. So this is all a very good start for the TRIGKEY Ryzen 7 5800H S5.
Although it shouldn’t be the prime consideration but I must state how lovely the TRIGKEY looks. I really like the dark smooth slightly metallic very dark blue-sheen casing. It looks very classy. On the front the main accent is the bright red power button… other than that the TRIGKEY melts into the subdued light beneath my 27″ monitor (which is where the TRIGKEY will permanently reside).
Connectivity is very good considering the tiny size of the mini-pc. On the front there are two USB 3.2 ports, a USB-C port, headphone socket and the power button. At the rear you get an Ethernet connection, two more USB ports, HDMI & DisplayPort and the power input socket. The sides of the case are mainly taken up with ventilation grilles. The underside has two strips of very grippy rubbery material so that this tiny computer doesn’t slide all around your desk.
Four small screws hold the underside cover on and when you take out the screws there’s a thoughtfully placed rubber tab which helps to pull the base plate away. Most of the inside bits and pieces are hidden behind an internal plastic cover which needs more screws removing if you should ever need to delve deeper inside (for example to access the SSD & DDR4 etc.). The immediately accessible internal area is shaped so that you can easily slip in a 2.5″ SATA hard drive (N.B. the hard drive needs to be a 7mm thick type). I will be inserting a 2Tb hard drive into this space.
I arranged the TRIGKEY directly under my main computer monitor alongside the older Mini-PC and various switching units. It sits very nicely and it’s quite remarkable that such a powerful computer can be tucked away like that.
My monitor has a plethora of connections and I decided to use the DisplayPort for the TRIGKEY. A USB switching unit allows me to switch between my main tower desktop PC, the older Mini-PC and now the new TRIGKEY – so that the three computers all share the same monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse. It works very well.
Having hooked up the TRIGKEY it was time to power it up for its first time. The bright red power button brightly lights up with a bright white LED and the Mini-PC silently starts to go through the Windows 11 setup process. I was holding my breath slightly as I, after selecting and declining various options, eventually arrived at the Windows 11 desktop. I had read elsewhere that some people have had issues with the Windows 11 activation process… no such problem with the TRIGKEY – the Windows operating system was all working absolutely fine and was activated without any tampering from me. I was immediately enjoying and sharing this fast mini-pc’s enthusiastic investigation of the new Windows 11 interface in lovely high resolution. I played around initially for a few minutes setting up the Windows desktop layout how I wanted it to look and behave.
One of the first things I needed to do was get some software onto the 500Gb TRIGKEY storage. I popped in a very basic USB stick into one of the front USB sockets and I have never seen files copy so quickly, so there’s no slouching with the USB ports on the TRIGKEY!
Over the next few hours I was pleased and impressed with the speed of everything I was doing on the TRIGKEY – I wasn’t taking any accurate speed measurements but I didn’t need to. The TRIGKEY probably has the fastest computing processing of my current computer setup – admittedly it’s a bang up-to-date piece of kit but even so, for the tiny thing that it is, I am well pleased with its performance.
It’s early days as yet as I have only installed a few programs, updated the TrigKey with all the latest Windows 11 downloads, configured the general desktop appearance and layout… and made a complete image back-up of the TRIGKEY so that I can always get back to the starting point should I ever need to.
My initial conclusion is that this is a fantastic tiny but powerful PC. I am not a ‘gamer’ so shan’t be testing its performance on that front (but there are plenty of online video reviews about that side of things) – but I do use graphics and video editing features a great deal. From what I have seen so far there will be no issues for my needs. The TrigKey retails at under 400 and I think it’s a great price for such a well put together device. I think that most people, like I have done, will add a hard drive and then you have a full featured powerful computer.
I really love this Mini-PC, and have plenty of experience with other Mini-PCs so feel I can assess the TrigKey with some knowledge of the technical genre. If you have ever fancied adding a Mini-PC to your computing collection I think that the TrigKey would make solid good sense. Without doubt a 5 Star product!
This is great for that.
It arrives in a rather small package, and on opening you are presented with this tiny PC and a box of accessories containing :
– Power Supply
– Power Cable
– Short HDMI cable (25cm)
– Medium Length HDMI Cable (100cm)
– Mounting Bracket
– Mounting Screws
– Simple Manual in a few languages
The mounting bracket is quite small, but it is metal and solid enough to mount on the VESA points on the back of you monitor, if you wish to.
The layout is pretty easy to use, with network and monitor plugs on the rear, with a USB-A (3.0) and USB-A (2.0) points.
The front has 2 USB-A points ( 3.0 and 2.0 ) and a USB-C, I will admit I was a little disappointed to note that the USB-C cannot be used to power the device, and while not a major point it would have made my life easier.
The front also has a 3.5mm audio jack point right next to the power button.
Setup was pretty painless, and I was into windows and working within 15-20minutes of the initial setup, granted it then took a while for windows to get itself updated and sorted out.
This device has 16GB RAM which I have worked out is 2 8GB 3200Mhz DDR4, which can be upgraded to 64GB.
The NVMe is a 500GB which looks like it can be upgraded to 2TB, there is also a space for an SSD at the base internally.
The real star of the show is the 5800H, and while embedded ( cannot be upgraded or swapped out ), it works really well , including the Radeon graphics built in.
I tested the graphics card used the Heaven benchmark and got a score of 780, which while not amazing is enough to play quite a few games at medium to low settings without a hiccup. I have yet to test it on any games and if I do, I will pop some results in here.
The cpu however does really well, I have been opening things, one on top of another and the while setup is running without a hiccup. So while I may not have benchmarked it, I have been making it work and it has not missed a step yet.
One not is the setup does have a cooling fan and when under load the fan will kick in, it is not load at all and in fact my laptop fan is louder, but in a quiet space the fan will be heard. It does not bother me, and I like knowing the fan is working, but if you want an absolutely quite PC this may need some attention.
That said you can get into the BIOS, which has a lot of options, so you may be able to set the fan to a quieter mode in the BIOS.
The specifications do state that the USB-C will handle a monitor, and testing it right now I can confirm this.
So not only do you have a full sized HDMI and Displayport, you can also use the USB-C as a display output. Nice if you have everything attached to a USB-C hub.
Bluetooth is easy to use on this and I had a series of devices setup in minutes using the bluetooth.
Overall great little device, I am very happy with this and it is doing exactly what I need. The only thing I am missing is the ability to power the device via USB-C
Wanted something to replace my old tower of a computer which runs a host of digital photo software and online distance university learning programs.
That was also a 16GB and so far this mini computer ticks all the boxes with the option of dual screening without the need for a port replicator.
Great price, 300 for a nuc of this standard is a must do if you are in the market to change to having a smaller and more compact system.
Definitely ticks all the boxes thus far after 3 weeks.
I am also going to be purchasing the option of a small mini DC adaptor too to place behind the TV so I can run it on the large living room tv as an additional option as well.
