Beelink SER5 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U(7nm, 6C/12T) up to 4.0GHz

Waited for over a full year before leaving review. Actually pretty darn good for a mini pc. Got it back May 2024, been running windows apps with no problems, AAA games. Kinhank and other 12TB game drives through the USB connections with no hiccups. Even hooking up the Retro Shooter lightguns and games worked just fine. Upgrading was easy enough. Changed from 1tb to 4tb NVME and 4tb SSD easily enough. WI-FI working great, consistent speed of over 650 Mbps, more than fast enough for me. Noise is minimal. Thought I'd ran into a problem when Battlefield 6 came out Oct 2025. Installed it on steam...but after upgrading the AMD drivers, played with no problems. So even with the integrated graphics AMD Card, it runs fine. Got this as a portable one in case I want to take it to another room and hook it up on the big screen TV and works great. For a small, versatile, overall price and powerful mini-pc, it is worth it. Switching between using the DP to the HDMI port was easy, even got a DP to HDMI adapter plug to try it on two monitors and ran into no problems. Bluetooth on it works just fine. Attached a small usb hub to stash in the very back of the shelf. mouse, keyboard, others and ran into no issues. Didn't get hot in any way. TIPS: if you play AAA type games, those with over 50gb + sizes, install on the NVME. Other programs or light gaming ones on the SSD. If you run into a problem trying to play AAA games or a brand newer game and it's not running right or stalls. Most likely you just need to update the AMD drivers. Don't bother looking for a specific one for this, just go to the AMD website, download the AMD adrenaline program and once it's installed, it will let you install the latest one right through the software. OOH..other tip like if you play Battlefield 6 and similar games, you will need to go into the BIOS to change to Secure Boot mode. Don't worry, play the game and if not pops up, then you are good to go. If not..it'll tell you. So many mini-pcs out there and for sure more powerful ones and of course..more expensive ones, but for the mid-price one...this one rocks!!!!

The initial update took forever and I had to manually reboot it, which was frustrating. After that, it has worked very well with no noise. The plastic feels durable, the 4 USB ports are useful, and it handles two monitors easily. I’m keeping it and will update this review in 6 months.

Got recommended by a friend and absolutely love it. Better than a laptop, and cheaper than an overpriced PC. I have had it for three years; there were times it automatically rebooted while in session, probably due to updates. Easy setup, works flawlessly, and no problem so far. Sometimes, the fan lets out a big, loud blow sound, but that goes away pretty quickly; again, I'm probably making it overwork. It can handle indie games, but I don't trust it with hardcore graphics; get a better model if you plan on gaming.

Fast, capable performer with excellent graphics for a mini PC This setup delivers impressive power and multitasking performance in a compact footprint. Strong CPU & iGPU: The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (8 cores / 16 threads) paired with Radeon 680M graphics handles heavy productivity, media editing, and light-to-medium gaming effortlessly. Generous RAM: 24GB of DDR4/DDR5 RAM provides plenty of headroom for heavy web browsing, spreadsheets, and running multiple apps concurrently without slowdowns. Fast NVMe Storage: Comes with a 512GB PCIe SSD (around 477GB usable), offering fast boot times and snappy file transfers. A versatile, high-value desktop alternative for demanding office workloads, media playback, and casual gaming.

This seems to be a well constructed machine. Very quiet and smooth. Opening the case is easy and quick, especially for a small PC, and it compares favorably to models I've owned or worked with from other makers (like HP Elite Mini series, some NUC-style machines, etc.) in both accessibility and easy of cleaning. (Obviously it does require unscrewing things, but that's a minimal issue.) You can replace all the major things like RAM, SSD, and wifi card w/o any trouble. Port choices are also very reasonable and well positioned. Currently running perfectly on Manjaro (Arch Linux derivative) with one minor issue - I had to set Bluetooth control panel to "receive from trusted devices" to send a file from my phone to the machine. Getting 150/380 Mbps Internet speed over wifi (no idea what router is supposed to be capable of, happy enough with that). 150% scaling factor on a TV display works well, no issues. Did not work as well w/ OpenSUSE tumbleweed, which had constant wifi issues - it seems to not have a good kernel or driver for the Intel AX200 for whatever reason. (I think it's known that Intel's driver's for AX200 are kind of finicky.) Was able to swap M.2 wifi card with no issues while evaluating tumbleweed, wouldn't recommend, just go w/ Arch or Manjaro. Any case, highly recommend the machine, it's without a doubt the best mini PC I've owned, though probably the most comparable machine is a Mac Mini, which I can't totally speak to in comparison.

Computer has been great until in randomly stopped working last week. The page claims free replacement within a year. I will update here if they replace it as promised. I think something is wrong with the power supply. Edit: I've lowered the review to 1-star because support has asked me to take apart the whole computer and rebuild it, asking me to swap parts and try new ones. Where am I supposed get parts for a computer like this? I'm a farmer. I just need the office computer I paid for to work or be replaced under warranty as promised. I will update this review if and when my computer is replaced.

BEELINK SER 5 Mini Pc. February 1 2025. I have been an Intel man since 1990 and first AMD Ryzen 7 5850 processor since and performs equally or even better than the Intel. It came with 1TB hard drive, 16gb Ram. I wish I would of spent $20 more and had 32GBof RAM installed. The AMD comes with their on graphic card , Randon with a GPU processor 8 core , 16 threads capability. The machine comes wth1GB eithernet slot and Wifi 6 card. Also has Bluetooth 5. AMD software is excellant and monitor CPU and GPU temperature. Plus several other specific monitoring and setting features. I had a difficulty downloading the AMD software and realized it was my AVG security keeping me from downloading, All I did was disabled my internet security and it downloaded successfully. It came with MS Winows 11 Professional, the registration went smoothly and updated windows and security fine, I'm using two out of three monitor ports, one HDMI and HDMI display. I connected USB 3,0, four port extender, for wireless mouse and keyboard and 3.0 flash drive. I also connected to USB 30 port to 1TB hard drive plus a CDVD writable drive for offering wider variety of software. The cooling fans are not noticeable loud and pushes the air straight through the unit removing the heat as it should. My knowledge with PC started in late 80's for work. I went an opened a shop back 1990 with my first computer, apple with 40mB hard drive with floppy drive . Upgraded when internet came out and updated to compact desktop with 14.5kb eithernet modem. Since then, I have had, Hp, Dell and many others desktop manufactures spending 1000s of dollars over my coarse my life. I researched small form pcs for sometime and found Beelink SER5 for $299 offered the most for my buck. I would recommend this pc to anyone

This thing is AMAZING. My computer died on Thursday night. My nephew is IT and said get this. I know NOTHING about computers so I did buy this one on his advice. It arrived before 7 am Saturday and I was up and running with a little help over the phone from my nephew. It is SOOOO small, about 4 inches square, but I have a speaker , video camera , and printer all installed in a snap. It's running windows 11 at lightning speed and for $399 it's a STEAL. It's simple to set up, goes into sleep mode but comes right out when it's touched and takes up NO space- you can mount it on the back of your monitor - they send the bar to do it with. If you need a new computer, get this , it's great.

Wifi sorunu var. Harici wifi ile kullanmak durumunda kalıyosun. Bir de aşırı sessiz felan değil. Mac mini vardı bende. O makine neredeyse hiç ses çıkartmıyordu. Bunds biraz fan sesi var ama fena depil yine de. Kötü makine değil

great set up and amazing specs. and room for a second ssd. i will have room in this thing for the next decade! it's super compact and the fabric cover gives it a really nice look. the selection of ports is limited but still better than a macbook. but it's loud, really loud, i mean REALLY loud. you open a chrome tab and it goes even louder, it's insane. i cant imagine how it is when you play a demanding game. fortunately you can change the fan settings in the bios. I would have returned it otherwise, by the time i finish the set up i had a headache. I managed to shut the fan in the bios: DEL key to enter BIOS (not backspace, not escape) BIOS-->Advanced-->Smart Fan Function Smart CPU_Fan Mode [Manual] Manual PWM Setting [100] Smart SYS_Fan Mode [Manual] Manual PWM Setting [100]

Es cierto lo que dicen otros comentarios, por le precio es una buena minipc. Juegos como No Man's Sky o Robocop, los he jugado sin problemas. Pero tiene límites. La nueva versión de Elder Scroll Oblivion, no pudo con ella, detectó que solo tiene 4 de ram para video y necesita al menos 6 o algo así. Senua's Saga Hellblade 2, creo que es su límite, se juega pero no con buena calidad. Sin embargo, la mayor desventaja es la conexión a internet, es muy lento, Oblivión tardó 9 horas en descargar 100 gigas!!! y tengo 500 megas de internet. al final tuve que desinstalarlo. Hasta el momento es el único inconveniente, para las demás tareas está sobrada como Photoshop, Illustrator o Corel, cuatro estrellas. update: Se resolvió perfecto comprando una antena wifi, en checkspeed antes de la antena estaba en 20-40 y ahora está en 250-300.

PC performance is great, handles tasks with ease though I'm not doing anything heavy. Embedded bluetooth intermittent fails to start after a restart or hibernation. Not sure if it's a hardware issue or Window's.

It’s incredibly small but surprisingly powerful. It handles gaming and video editing smoothly without any issues, and the performance is very stable. Another thing I really like is how quiet it is, even under heavier workloads.
