Windows will work perfectly fine on the Beelink. In fact, I ran Win11 on my Dad's Beelink S12 Pro for a couple of years. I also ran PMS on Windows for awhile as well. The problem is (for me) the random updates that FORCE reboots and, since I refuse to create a Microsoft account, the "create your Mic

Feedback for proposed Proxmox infrastructure

Overall cheapest price for a actual good computer

Under $200, if by "good" you mean good for everyday tasks, not advanced gaming. Check out the Beelink Mini S12 Pro. link.

Need Server Upgrade Advice

The most common recommendation for the last few years as been the Beelink Mini S12 Pro with an n100. I have not kept up on prices and I know they have newer version with an n150 CPU.

I stuck another 4GB RAM in my DS920+ and ran HA in a VM for a couple of years. It ran fine but was very slow to load. A full

I recently got the Beelink Mate MINI S Dock for MINl S12/S12 Pro & MINl S13 to attach to my MINI S13 and it's made the little PC even more handy. 5x2.5Gbps happily running Plex, 2 docker VMs, Pihole, and OPNSense without breaking a sweat.
