Beelink EQR5 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U (6C/12T, up to 4.2GHz) 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB PCle3.0 SSD, Mini Computer AMD Radeon Graphics, 4K Dual HDMI Display/WiFi6/BT5.2/Dual LAN/Bulit-in PSU/Office

I don't actually know what the idle power is on this, but I haven't notice a change in my power bill leaving it on 24/7.I have two of these. One is used for a Minecraft server for my kids. We have both Java and Bedrock servers running on it and it works perfectly. We don't have more than 4 people logged in at once, but there is no noticeable lag.The other I use as a development server for python. I have a bunch of API's running on it, Redis, MariaDB and more. It's complete overkill for this purpose.As far as using it for Windows 11, I have no idea. The first thing I did was remove Windows and install Linux on both.

Was delivered within 5 days of order placed. Everything works as expected. This review is after 2 months of 4 to 5 hours/day use.Signed in first time once to register Win 11 Pro then fresh installed new Win 11 OS using flash drive. All drivers and hardware works fine out of the box. Installed AMD Adrenalin. Connected it to a UPS, 55" TV via HDMI, bluetooth keyboard and mouse. V38 BIOS. Bluetooth & Wi-Fi works fine. Using Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.Daily driver PC. Smooth image editing, browsing, videos. Set to Performance Mode in BIOS. Able to play games (Hitman WoA, Red Dead Redemption 2, Metal Gear Solid V) on max settings for 2 hours before throttling kicks in (due to overheating). Dual boot with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.Beelink support responds within 2-3 business days.A great Mini PC for the price - 2024.

Brand new out of the box can not install any apps getting an error. After some digging find that it won't activate windows. huge disappointment. Tried a fresh windows install. can now install software but what do you know try to fire up a game works for at most 5 minutes before game crashes tried about 5 different games with all the same problems. Going to return.

If you’re looking for a powerful mini pc for games, definitely buy this one, I am able to run high graphic games such as (Jedi fallen order) at around 45-60 fps consistently, great pc

I have 5 Beelink Mini PCs. 3x SER5, 1x SER6 and 1x SER7. The SER5 and SER6 run Linux fine. I had issues with the Ethernet port on the SER6, but use a USB to Ethernet adapter to get around that. This SER7 unit, however, is either incompatible with current-day Linux distros or something with the unit is faulty. Maybe both.I've spent hours trying to get this to work appropriately, but it's of no use. I've tried Debian 12.2 and 12.5 multiple times (running 6.1 kernel and 6.5 manually installed) and tried Fedora 39 (6.5 kernel) once as the last-ditch effort.The basic behavior is the same:I cannot connect to repositories with the built-in ethernet adapter. There's some kind of error. Happened on both Debian and Fedora. On Fedora, which I'd never used before, it locked up when trying to enable / connect to whatever secondary repos are optional during setup. In Debian, when trying to connect to the repo during install, it fails and can't continue with the install, unless you don't want to install from the repo.I can get through the Debian install when using a USB to ethernet adapter; that will download from repos. I didn't try with Fedora. This is likely a driver-compatability issue, or feels like it, anyway.Second:If you boot the box with 1 monitor connected (HDMI), you get a screen every time. Beelink logo, it can boot to OS. If you cold boot with 3 monitors connected (1x DisplayPort, 1xHDMI & a USBC->Displayport adapter), you can never boot to an OS login page. Several times I'm not even getting the beelink splash logo where you can get to the bios or one-time boot menu. Which, to me, shouldn't have anything to do with OS drivers, this is a bios or something issue that is independent from the OS. This isn't my monitors selectively powering on but not showing a screen when I can plug other boxes into them and have no such issue.I have no idea how Windows works with this; I don't have need for it and don't want it in my network.I'm not sure what to think. SER5 units have been rock-solid for me with no problems. I spent way too much time trying to troubleshoot ethernet problems on SER6, a few times back and forth with support and ended up just working around the potentially-faulty hardware (some Intel 2.5GB adapter with known issue) and I had problems from minute 1 with this SER7. It took me a few weeks to start using it, but as it's within the return window still, I'm returning this and getting another SER5.I like Beelink Mini PCs and have been working to replace most of my larger PCs with them. I've only been buying them for about 5 months, so time will tell how they work in the long term. You can look to other reviews on how they might work with Windows, but if you want to run Linux on a mini PC, I'd look into a SER5 instead of 6 or 7, at least the Ryzen versions.

It came on time great service

I needed a mini-PC that would run 4 monitors, this did the job and performs well. I paired this with the Anker USB-C to HDMI 310 USB-C adapters for the 2 additional monitors all 4 monitors came up on the first try.I have seen reviews of others having what seem to be random issues with these, I need at least one more of these soon and here's hoping that Beelink fixed the manufacturing issues that others have been encountering. Otherwise it seems to have some decent hardware under the hood and hoping this is as reliable as the several Beelinks we are running of two other models.

Buying a product like this is like playing the parts lottery. You might get one that is rock solid, and you might get one that is nearly unusable. I got the latter and cannot even run Minecraft for more than 10-20 seconds before the PC hard crashes. Also the wifi does not work.
