Besides the irrelevant comparison, it'll be more than a few months. All the orders are Q2 2022 at the earliest. I'm waiting on mine too.

So is this similar to the Mac Mini M1 just with Windows? Are these well built machines? Are they quiet?

I've got a couple of very small and older BeeLinks. Windows 10 + 10 Pro were installed on them. Not fast when purchased, but that wasn't the point when I purchased them. They've been completely reliable. I have no idea if this one is any good, but the company is legit. Techtablets on Youtube has tested a bunch of BeeLinks over the years. A New Zealand guy living in Spain. Maybe he's covered this one.

Correct me if I am wrong but this product is not available. There is an indiegogo link and only a few people have signed up so far and ship date is unknown

FWIW, the port differences I see for the HX90 (which I have a pre-order pending)

HX90 has additional: Front 3.5mm Mic input, rear 3.5mm speaker & mic jacks, add'l DP 1.4 & HDMI 2.0 ports, 4x USB 3.0 type-A on rear instead of 2x 3.0 + 2x 2.0 rear on the BeeLink.

Bee-Link adds a 2nd 2.5GBps Ethernet port and fingerprint reader and is MUCH smaller, however. Also it's likely to ship later than the Minisforum.

All great points. It's actually really compelling. I got a 4800H unit off Ali express last year and I'm thinking of upgrading to this since the dual nic 2.5Gb would make this a better virtualization machine than my current mini.

I picked up a few HX90s for my office & co-workers, but the size of the beelink is very compelling as well as the dual NICs, and the 32GB configuration seems insanely priced with 3200MHz RAM if I were to pick it up on my own tab.

We also picked up a few 4750G-based mini PCs when we needed devices immediately, but I'm really looking forward to the 5900HX.

The Vega 8 Ryzen 5000 graphics are also pretty impressive, I used to have a GTX 1060 and laptop with a 1060 Max-Q, but have since moved to a 1080, but I can still see myself downgrading my graphics since I'm not really gaming anymore.

Can this be mounted to the VESA on the back of a monitor? Weight?

I have an HX90 and have been using it every day with 4 monitors for the past month or so and I would definitely recommend. I added my own 32gb memory and 1tb pci.e nmve ssd.

I owned one of their small PC's some time ago and used it as htpc, it was decent, not much to go wrong. Ryzen is reasonably efficient so I would guess this should be reasonably quiet. I would expect the Mac to be of better quality though for whatever that is worth
