Beelink GTi14 Mini PC Intel Ultra 9 185H(16C/22T), 32G DDR5-5600MHz 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD, Mini Computer Support Dual 2.5G LAN, Fingerprint Sensor, Build-in Power Supply, Al Voice Interaction Gaming PC

I got this mini pc, after purchasing 4 other Beelink mini pcs a couple years ago. The previous where AMD cpus and very fast. I maxed them out to 64GB ram, which was a lot at the time. Now I am playing with AI LLMs which require a lot of processing - typically on an external GPU. I got this with the dock as a combo purchase. I also order 96GB of ram and a 30390TI (24GB vram and 10K+ processing units). The small form factor is vert nice. I can do crazy things with this setup without a large case PC. The built in AI capability actually does very well, though is a fraction of course compared to a GPU. I can still load 8GB + LLMs into memory and results come in a few minutes. Besides basic chatting, which is almost instant, at 2.88 tokens a second, I have it processing and extract information out of t-sql scripts and html files. This does take a long time with the built in AI compute chip. Though I can have it doing this task while I do others. This does take complete disassembly to upgrade the ram and ssd - but I only need to do it once so that is fine. Does this preform its AMD equivalent? I doubt it. But I got this model specifically for the dock able external GPU. A standalone, AMD will probably ALWAYS be better. Still, this has a lot of cpu power to do everything. Id recommend this if you want a Intel or a docking ability.

I may be prejudiced in my assertion that this is better than a raspberry pi since I’m allergic to raspberries. That and I’m a key lime pie guy. But wait, that has nothing to do with this pc. So, here’s the deal, I needed something to use as a Plex server. I wanted something snappy with low power consumption. This fit the bill nicely. It’s on 24/7. I’ve had no hiccups, no overheating, no noise, it streams like a champ. I remote into it when I add media and that’s as much as I need to interact with it. You’re probably not going to game on it, but I can definitely see using it for office work, email, browsing and…. A pretty cool Plex server. It’s a solid recommendation from me.

Blazing speed, small design absolutely best desk top I've ever owned .

I use this mini PC to hook up with my streaming gaming PC, Shadow PC. This thing is perfect for my needs, and I can run PC VR gaming through it using the Shadow PC service. It weighs almost nothing , and looks adorable if you add googley eyes to it.

From the comparisons I did online, its processing power is comparable to that of a Core i3 from 8th generation or a Core i5 from 6th generation, but its way cheaper and more modern than those, has 16GB RAM and 500GB disk. It's surprisingly cheap for what it offers. I bought it to have a good enough PC that will not consume too much energy to host services in my home and I haven't had any issue so far with it. I installed Linux Debian on it and it's working like a charm. As side notes: the customer support is good and the packaging had some attention to detail which I loved. Not just some cardboard with the product inside, I felt like opening some decent hardware, like a gift for myself. Now, what comments do I have? Since I'm running it as a server, I ditched all of the GUI stuff and it doesn't even turn on the fans (it's quite cold, actually), but when I used Windows and updated the system, it used them probably at slow speed (i didn't even know this PC had fans until then) and that's not a problem, not like it was hot or even throttling. I haven't seen it lag so far. However, let's be honest, I don't think this PC is any good for modern gaming. It has a Celeron processor and lacks a dedicated graphics unit. I think it's meant to be used for other purposes: it does office job without any issue and is more than enough for using the browser with a lot of tabs opened. Even so, I think it should be enough for 2015s - 2019s gaming. Also, for example, some non-demanding games like Minecraft or something that can be tuned for low-performance equipment. Probably also League of Legends, I'll let you know if I install it. Currently I'm running 2 servers which don't ever exceed 2 or 3 users and 1 is a video server running Jellyfin on Docker. The processor doesn't usually exceed 5% usage and the RAM doesn't usually exceed 1.5G. Anecdote incoming: Last time I bought a piece of hardware I bought more than I needed and now I have a laptop that rarely exceeds its 5% CPU usage or 10% RAM usage and I almost never use the GPU for anything, since I don't even play games frequently and I'm used to playing on the lowest specs. Unused resources are wasted resources. Today I am happy because I feel like I bought exactly what I needed and for less than what I expected to spend.
