Beelink MINI S13 Mini PC with N150 Processor, 16G DDR4 500G SSD W11 Home | WiFi6+BT5.2+Dual 2.5G LAN Business Mini Computer, Win11 Home Small PC for Daily Work/HTPC/Home Server Micro PC

Running as a Emby server for movies, win11 by itself is a bargain at $99.99. Didn't bother reconfiguring for a linux distro. replaced the sata m.2 with 2Tb and added a 2TB sata 2.5. I set power button to shut down, so power on no need to log in. Emby is set to run at boot in windows services when done bump the switch, it powers down safely with no need for a monitor or keyboard.

We bought this computer a year ago. We received it actually less than a year ago, and it has stopped working. It still turns on, but it gets to the load menu where it shows the Beelink name and it won't go any farther. It shows you can hit Del to get to setup or F7 to get to the Boot Menu but NO keyboard inputs will work. The keyboard is powered when the computer is turned on and it gets a signal to the monitor but from that point forward, nothing... Wow, not even one year old and this computer doesn't work at all! Up to this point we had no issues with the computer at all. We have not been doing anything that would tax the computer to the point it would overheat or something but apparently we couldn't depend on it to last a year. I am very disappointed.

This has been an awesome proxmox box for self hosting. I am able to run a web server, home assistant, immich and a couple of other services without putting off to much heat.

Solid performance for years. It shut down because it overheated a couple times, but that could be me pushing it too hard. It eventually stopped working, I took out a star because there was no way to fix it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Works as I wanted, and comes with a Windows license. I had some small issue on setup and decided to do a fresh reinstall of Windows. That was painless and it works well. Measured power consumption is 4W at idle. Most of the time hovering in the 4-8W range. The machine is fast for general use like web browsing and Microsoft office. Low enough power that it can be left on 24/7 without worry. Works well for a small media server on my LAN running Jellyfin.

The Drive in this died rather quickly. Wasn't worth a support ticket since I've heard these units have poor support anyhow and I didn't want another bad generic drive. Replaced the drive and no more issues.

If you get a discount on this, you can get a lot of PC for the price. By no means is it a high end PC, but if you get the 8/500 configuration, you've got enough memory and storage to do basic computing tasks without problems. Since raspberry pi prices have gotten kind of unreasonable, you can view this as a much more capable substitute for pi for not that much more expense. I like that the RAM and M.2 SSD can be upgraded/replaced, and that it also accepts a 2.5 inch drive. In comparison to a low end Atom based PC, this is a big upgrade. The N5105 is a much more capable chip (like 4-5X faster on many benchmarks), and the SSD is much better than the cheap eMMC that often comes with Atom based machines.

Worked great for 8 months, then mysteriously stopped functioning overnight randomly. Tried to contact support and got no response, which is frustrating. Usage was low activity (just backup access for photos and video files). Can't imagine what happened and disappointed with lack of support.

Computador muito bom para trabalhar no dia a dia. Recomendo.

----------- Update ------------ It has been almost a year since I left this unit unplugged. I decided to try it one more time before disposing of it. I held the CMOS button for 10 seconds without powering it or plugging it in. I plugged it in and it still did not work. I then removed the RAM and tried to power it on, still did not work. I then decided to remove the SSD and power it on with no SSD and no RAM. IT POWERED ON! I then replaced the SSD with a 256 GB Kingston M.2 SSD and put some new laptop RAM in. Still powered on and I was able to install/boot Windows 11. Also tried linux. It has been running for two weeks powered on and off and there are zero issues! So before you throw out that dead Beelink (U59 in my case) try taking out the RAM and SSD and reset the CMOS with the unit unplugged. Plug it in and see if it powers on. Replace each component with new ones if needed and enjoy your unit which you thought was dead. Apologies to Beelink. Looks like my issue after testing was an NVME drive in the SSD slot that was going bad. It looks like the slot is keyed for NVME but it can only use M.2 Sata SSDs. ----------- Original ----------- Was working perfect up until yesterday. Was working on something then suddenly the displays went blank but the power was still on. Couldn’t get the displays to come back to life so I unplugged it (holding the power button down didn’t shut it off). When I plugged it back in and pressed the power button, nothing. Saw a YouTube video where some success was had with resetting the CMOS but tried that and nothing. It’s basically a doorstop now. Waste of money.

Very good.

This is my second mini computer and it works great, just wanted more ram and memory. Only problem I am having is it will not come out of sleep, I will have to contact the service dept to get fixed, I am sure it is a minor fix. Highly recommend U59 pro or any other Beelink product, they are excellent value and there is very few junk programs/files so Windows 11 Pro does not use a lot of memory. Follow up: I have been using for over 1.5 years and it is still working great, I love how fast it is compared to my old laptop.

Excelente desempenho!
