Which would you choose between these two?

I have the K8 Plus. The 6800H is a completely different processor from 2022. The 8845HS is newer with more powerful 780M integrated graphics from 2024. The Beelink SER5 MAX has soldered memory and no USB4. The K8 Plus has OCuLink and other features. The K8 Plus is more powerful and more future proof

PC illiterate - Help on finding a mini

The problem with the Beelink SER5 MAX 7735HS beyond the rebadged 6800H processor is the cost cutting lack of USB4 and the fact it's never been listed on the official website. I've also read that these 24GB LPDDR5 memory Beelink minis have problems like this. https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/s/rECBW7

Beelink SER5 Max, false advertisement on 6800U/H TDP and performance

Didn't realized you post it here too, since here is my main sub. Copypasta from my reply on Beelink sub -> Yeah, this appears to be something smartshift related misconfiguration in BIOS. The [SMU] logic that controls the power allocation to both CPU and GPU, not allowing CPU+GPU to access full syste

What's the best mini PC for basic office productivity for around $500-700 USD?

This at $340 is more than plenty for basic office computing. Beelink Ser5 Max The non-Max version would work as well at $280. Beelink Ser5 Edit: my bad, just saw the 1tb requirement. Those Beelinks above have a second ssd slot that you could add more storage with. Something like this would work. GMK

PC Recommendations?

ABSOLUTELY LOVE my Beelink SER5 MAX. The Ryzen 7 5800H is PLENTY fast for my taste. Then, once I upgraded the RAM from 16GB to 32GB - Now this puppy SCREAMS! I highly advise you to at least look into them. I've never had one problem - well, only something very minor that was actually my fault: and I

F* this... Anything I should know before hopping?

You have no idea how true this is. I discovered Linux in the very early days (around 1992) when it was on version 0.93b or something ancient. Tarballs and a shell. No windowing, DEs or anything. A true learning experience because you often had to find your own way. The Internet resource back then wa

What is considered the cheapest mini pc for linux/emulation?

I use a Beelink mini-PC as an everyday system. I believe they use AMD Raedon and Ryzen chips in most systems. I have an SER5 with 32 GB, 1 TB NVME and a load of connection options. I run Debian 13 (Trixie) with KDE and it kills. I don't use this as an NAS (I have a Synology device for that), but you

10 year old Desktop Broke - Need Mini PC reocmmendation

I'd go with the Beelink SER5 MAX. It's $339. It has soldered on ram through so it's not upgradable but it's 24 GB vs. the 8 GB you had. It has 8 cores and 16 threads so it's many times faster than your old PC. You could argue it might be overkill, but it should be a good PC for years to come.
