Best mini PC: Beelink SER8 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS

Overview

I had the chance to test the latest mini PC from Beelink, the SE8, which comes equipped with AMD’s Ryzen 7 7845HS. From the start, I was impressed by its remarkable compatibility and low noise levels. It also stood out for its user-friendly setup, as it worked seamlessly across various OS environments without requiring additional driver installation.

Key Specs and Features

The SE8 features the AMD Ryzen 7 7845HS CPU, which includes an NPU for AI functionalities. While software currently lacks full support for this feature, we can anticipate a broader range of capabilities with future software updates. This mini PC comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro, and reinstalling the OS was hassle-free, as drivers are readily available on Beelink’s website.

Design and Port Configuration

On the front, the SE8 includes a power button, reset button, headphone jack, USB-C, and a USB port. The rear side offers three additional USB ports, a second USB-C, HDMI, DisplayPort, Realtek 2.5G Ethernet adapter, power adapter jack, and an additional headphone jack. The ventilation system is located at the back, effectively dissipating heat to maintain stability during extended use.

Internal Components and Upgrade Accessibility

Accessing the interior of this device is straightforward—just remove four screws on the bottom panel. Inside, you’ll find Crucial DDR5 memory and a Crucial NVMe SSD, both of which provide better reliability and performance than the non-branded memory commonly used in mini PCs.

Noise and Thermal Management

In terms of noise, the SE8 is exceptionally quiet. During standard tasks, noise is almost negligible, and even under high workload, it only reached 50-60 dB. Thermal performance was equally impressive, with power consumption remaining below 100W, allowing for stable operation even under demanding conditions.

Energy Consumption

The SE8 also scores highly in energy efficiency. While idle, it consumes under 10W, and during peak load, it draws approximately 93-94W. The power adapter remained cool and performed reliably, with UL certification to ensure safety.

Conclusion

With its latest AMD Ryzen 7 7845HS processor and high-quality memory, the Beelink SE8 provides excellent performance and stability. Considering its potential for enhanced AI capabilities with upcoming updates, this mini PC is a versatile option for a variety of computing needs.
