Beelink SER8 - This Tiny Ryzen 8845HS mini PC is incredible! 

"good, good... let's see the thermals"

Thanks for the review as always. I may be looking to slim down the pile of components on my desktop for my day to day computing. My gaming station is another story 😂

I like the cooling, ease of getting to the SSD & RAM, good ports, and multi-core performance.

Very cool. I think this the direction we're heading in.

That noise factor is huge...I love how capable this thing is while being power-efficient and quiet! So many reviewers never mention the sound-profile, just focus on benchmarks and games but you never know what it really sounds like in operation.

I am very interested in something like this for adding to my entertainment system in the living room. I want a "PC" for light gaming and steaming of videos at the TV. Awesome. (edited a typo)

Its crazy how that PC can fit in your pocket, I have a 17.3 inch 240hz monitor that has thunderbolt and mini hdmi port that could pair with it and provide better performance than my Lenovo Pad 5. It gets hot tho, it burns🔥

Quick thing i wanna know, most Pc has a Max Operating Temperature of 98 to 100 celsius, is that where cpu thermal throttle? Or does cpu thermal throttle at any temp even as low as 70 celsius?

Quality video, Dave. Quick question! Do you think there will be a mini PC smartphone anytime soon, in light of ARM-based PCs becoming a thing? Forgive my English, it isn't my mother tongue.

I've owned my SER8 for a few weeks. The only issue I've had is weak WiFi performance, even after swapping out the module. I run it on ethernet, so not really a big issue.

Structural Engineer here: will it be enough for Autodesk software such as AutoCAD, Revit etc?

I want to use this for my Plex Media server and potentially Synology NAS, would it fit the job description?

what keyboard you are using for gaming ? it sounds so nice !

You should try the KLIM EVEREST cooler. It has 2 4500rpm turbofans and a foam seal too

I can't record microphone on my laptop, damn fans...😂 Going to get one of these and as soon as the 16 core zen 5 mini pc comes out I am getting that for sure 😊 Mini PC's ate great for creators/musicians. It is a low cost way to connect USB audio interfaces to a Dante network. An N100 for €200 can run 65€ Dante Via software. And then can route the ins and outs an usb interface provides. A lot in case of my behringer X18. Hook up a touchscreen or two and it will also run your network interfaces for mixers, synths, etc. Taking that load of your workstation. 😊

Thanks David, Ugh! Fan noise.. laptops, The only let down in most cases, in my opinion. Year 4 with my M17 R4 and all is really well via Dell support/service plan, Machine runs as new and I love it, but fan noise enough is enough. Just stuck atm on direction, also desktops seem to make as much noise as the components are bigger and better or can you correct me please. Google AI, YT adds war and Widows 11 not sure why I even want to Invest anymore,, Thanks again 👍

The only reason I am not moving to a mini pc for my homelab is they still are not good at running local LLMs. Hopefully within the next couple years.

Wish you unboxed it. Wanted to see the plug specs. I assume I can't use the US plug in the UK?

IM too fast bro!!❤

Mash A.I. channel coming soon

Some people are reporting trojans in the OS. I don't know if that's baked into os or into BIOS, I will not buy it if it comes with a trojan can you please verify this?

In my experience, the fan in these mini-PCs generally becomes a problem within a couple years when they get choked with dust (and then fan noise is extreme). This has happened to four of them in my experience. Is this mini-PC powerful enough for everyday computing? Well, to replace my NUC (which died due to fan failure) I built a desktop mATX system around an i5-14500 (6 performance cores, 8 efficiency cores, 770 iGPU), and I find it spends its day mostly cruising at under 10 watts, like its incredibly bored with me. With a single-fan air tower cooler on the CPU, the CPU temperature stays around 30C. Watching RU-vid at 1440p does not cause it to leave this low-power cruising state. Seems the 14500 was overkill for my gameless existence. I wanted the 770 iGPU, which is not available in lower-tier 14th gen CPUs.

you mixed up the usb-c ports. rear is 3.1, front is usb4 edit: seems like there was a mistake; it was fixed on the beelink website since then

going to be a lot quieter mounted to the back of your monitor.

Hey Mash!!!! I did an experiment with a floorfan right, basically i turn it 90 degrees ( vertical) and i put the laptop on it. Flat on table, on apex legends its between 94-100 celsius right? And with the floorfan( its very powerful btw) the temps dont go above 85, and my wattage which didnt go above 32, now didnt go below 35, it was amazing . And when you think about it, almost everyone has a powerful fan in there house that does as well as Llano😂 i posted another video on it lol! Its titled,how to make CPU GPU go from 100 to 80 easily. You should drop a comment brotha!!

15:13 bro are you kidding me? I get 100 fps average on lowest settings with shadows completeley disabled, everything on low on my laptop and with this thing that is many times smaller getting same fps with high graphics, man. Sucks to be me 😭

Nice review, but the price of this thing you could build a decent gaming PC from second hand parts that would far out perform it.

Would make for a sweet Linux machine.

Would like to remove the bee logo. Is is possible?

Link purchase for the mini pc

"productivity desk"

I like the idea of a mini pc that doesn't take much space on the desk but at the same time I don't get it. I mean I don't see me carrying with the computer and the peripherals in a backpack.

AYYYEEEE IM FIRST !!!!!

i havent bought a desktop in about 20 years.. i dont see the point of these mini pcs, just get a laptop which is 100x more versitile

Where is the AI thing? .. you didn't show anything about it.

With the newest AMD Ryzen 300 mobile chips shipping next month, now is the absolute WORST time to buy this mini PC. Especially with the improved 800M graphics on board the new SOC. You are giving poor advice! Wait until the new model with updated performance.

Too expensive. With same money you can buy a budget gaming laptop with 2x the performance.

NO THUNDERBOLT CONNECTOR AT ALL. ???????? .................... YEAH I'M OUT COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THIS.
