It’s BETTER – The Best Mini PC Today

We loved the Beelink GTR7. This is what happens when we get a PRO version. This version has the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS 8 core CPU an upgrade to the non-Pro version. We also compare this to the GTR7 and the Minisforum UM790 Pro.

  1. I would love to see these sorts of things with optional better cases. If you could get this, but an inch deeper, and with space for a simple Noctua fan, it'd probably take care of most cooling needs. Plus you could have room for a 2.5 inch drive. It's a bit weird they make basic mistakes like not having vents for the fans, not having cooling pads over the whole SSD etc etc when they're making an 'expensive' machine not an entry level one. Still, these things are all insane compare to desktops and thin clients of the past, and they're coming along nicely now that people are worrying about the silly Intel NUCs. Minisforum just released a really nice looking one which sits weirdly lower than their UM980 (sic?) and higher than it (it has Occulink for an eGPU and a few other bits, but a lesser processor). But it does have a lovely tiger logo that glows 🤣😂And would have me changing the boot up sound to Eye of the Tiger.

  2. These look really great ! I was shopping for a mini-PC last year which included this brand. I ended up getting a refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G3. Those types have a modular port option, and with this re-furb that happened to be occupied by a VGA port. So that allowed me to connect 3 cheap monitors without a docking station nor adapters etc. So that worked out great, and so did the price at $600. Maybe my next one will be from the brand in this video.

  3. With Arch Linux being a rolling release, it should work great with such hardware. I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly.

  4. Great video, thank you. One suggestion: we don't care about the screws requiring a thinner screw driver. Literally no one does but, it seems, you. (Why?).

    Anyway, keep up the great work. Just subscribed and love the indepth dives you do.

  5. I am building LAN networks to provide connectivity and content to rural schools where the internet is not available. To date, I have been using a Raspberry Pi, together with a Cambium access point and a 6TB HDD to build my server.
    Could the GTR7 Pro be the most powerful option out there to deploy a big mesh network, avoid bottlenecks, and allow a larger number of simultaneous users to connect to my LAN? My plan is to provide Wi-Fi connectivity to multiple classrooms, the exterior of the school, and the health center that is 50m down the block, while allowing more than approx. 500 users to connect simultaneously.

  6. Beelink has issues….
    1. No bare bones option. (no wifi, ram, or ssd)
    2. Clear cmos button on the front… (WTF? is this a alpha testing board?)
    3. Proprietary power cable. (why introduce extra cost where its not needed??)
    4. SSD heatsink…..(who is designing this??)
    All this together, and the case feels half-assed. Why do something if your not doing the best?

  7. Some of the design choices are kind of annoying. A new power connector where the new connector was not wanted nor needed. The clear cmos button that sticks out like a sore thumb. Why? If they just kept it all standard this would be a more attractive product.

  8. Hi would this be any good for 3D autocad? have the dell xps 15 9500 currently for CAD and struggles. Looking to upgrade to a mini pc that would out proform my laptop. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks Brian
