Beelink SER3 Ryzen 7 Mini PC

Fantastic little unit. Their website doesn't work perfectly. (Their "contact" form is currently broken, for example; and has been for some time.) But I do like how using a discount code actually changes the prices across the whole site.

Beelink SER3 AMD Ryzen 7 Mini PC
Purchased to save space and has proved to be an excellent choice for normal non gaming tasks and photo editing. Very good performance, very quiet little machine and good heat management. Came with Windows 11 already installed. Wifi range doesn't appear to be very long compared to laptop but overall happy with this mini pc.

This doesn't look like the usual desktop computer, surely it's too small! But NO - it is a fast machine.
It came with Win 10 Pro installed; after installing the latest MS updates it was ready for Win 11, and runs very well.
As I have an older monitor, an HDMI to DVI cable was a necessary extra purchase.
Other than that there was no hassle in setting up the wee beastie!
I have also installed a second SSD in the rather neat home for it on the base plate (remove 4 screws, pulloff baseplate, push drive into it's new home & replace baseplate - a doddle!). Loads of storage space + loads of operating space.
Well pleased.

I build my own computers and have built a HTPC. Basically desktops but also a reasonably powerful HTPC and a Flight Sim which gives good results for MSFS 2020. This little baby is shockingly competent on most levels and fast considering it doesn't have a discrete graphics card. Sits well in my new hardwood TV cabinet and performs more than well.

Exactly what I needed to replace my old PC, that was not able to be upgraded to Windows 11. It hardly takes up any room on my work station, VERY quiet and I can easily add a USB 3 DVD/CD player for downloading some of my old favourite software.

Highly recommend, I don't play games, but should be perfect for editing and creating videos. Do a lot of creating pdf's on my desktop publisher. Ideal!! Still using SerifPlage Plus X6! Downloaded all my software with no issues.

Storage space shouldn't be an issue, as I already have a 4GB external hard drive. But will upgrade with another 16GB ram and internal storage drive sometime in the future.
