Beware there are no Linux kernel drivers for the hardware in this machine, so you're stuck with windows for now. You won't have Wi-Fi, and can't have Wi-Fi, until that gets updated.

Just go into settings\recovery\reset and click on "reset this PC". Choose the option to remove everything and let it reinstall. It will use the same key.

I have 3 of these machine for the office, they work tremendously well for it. Office/Excel/Browser. Super fast and clean, just BE AWARE to re-install windows.

These machine comes with a default windows 11/10 but there is a software that comes with it, that you can see it under START UP services. I forgot the name but please make sure you reinstall windows.

If you are thinking of using this for business / office, do NOT buy it. It won't last long.
Owned experience, and look at 1 star reviews.

This one does not. You have to contact beelink.
Thanks for the info. Sounds like they're not a decent OEM to get a slip stream license.

It doesn't say anything about the machine itself. Can't beat it for the price

How good are integrated graphics these days? I'd like to get something cheap I can hook up to my TV and play games like cities skylines on. I bought a Surfacebook 2 over 6 years ago because I wanted a 'best of both worlds' laptop solution with a dedicated GPU (GTX 1050.) Are 2023 integrated graphics catching up to old GPU's or should I keep looking for a laptop/mini PC with a dedicated GPU to replace this aging one.

Aren't these the mini PCs that everyone was complaining weren't allowed on Slickdeals and it turns out they aren't even kind of a good deal?

Do you recommend a little box for Linux? I'd like something a little beefier than pi

Owned prior Beelink mini-PC's as well as this one. Using several here in the office. Oldest is probably ~3 years. Really haven't had any issues with any of them.
Also had a Beelink Set-top box about 6 years ago. Android is outdated, and I have retired it to storage, but last I plugged it in a year or two ago it still works fine.
I have recommended these to multiple people.

How do you reinstall Windows? Don't you need to purchase a new product code?
Nope, no product keys needed for all recent OEM manufactured PCs as it is embedded in the BIOS internally. Windows will self activate upon next installation.

You can reinstall Windows as many times as you like. Reset it via Start / Settings / Reset this PC or boot to USB bootable media if you have already made a Windows USB installation tool.

Be sure to back up your data folder first before resetting the PC or reinstalling Windows again.

Yes it should. New operating systems lock the key in the BIOS. Unless this one has individually activated copies of windows it should automatically activate.

Tdp doesn't equate performance. N95 and N100 have nearly identical CPU performance but the GPU performance of the N100 is miles better. And you get all that for 1/2 the power consumption.

N100 is better in every way.
You reversed it. The N95 GPU runs a whopping 60% faster at 1.2Ghz versus 750Mhz on the N100. The N100 does have more EUs though, so the N95 should in all truth only be 6.7% faster in actual use, making them pretty close. See the link:

Into what bios? I had to send Beelink GTR7 back. Was a pain to wipe, but I got it done. I "found" a windows 11 file from this guy on the internet. When I was troubleshooting the GTR7, I installed windows on a new M.2. It still knew used the name I gave the old pc. That would probably support your statement.
But after sending it back I used that flash drive I made on my brand new gaming pc I should've sold when the 3070 was worth more than I paid for the entire build and it installed as an activated copy of windows 11 with the same name I used on the GTR7. The files were all gone and I did have to install all of the drivers and old software I installed, but why do I have an activated windows on a fresh build? Can it be linked to your IP address? It does want you to connect to the internet right away. I'm a former IT guy and this goes against everything I thought I knew.

It is much more complex that that. See here: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/com...cessor_n95

Although true that the N95 GPU runs faster, it has 16 compute units versus 24 for the N100. Benchmarks mostly show the video performance of the N100 much higher. In terms of overall benchmark, they are similar with the N100 winning by about 3 percent.

Got one of these some months back as a Plex server and it's been great. Highly recommend it. Great little machine that is quick and will stream 4K HDR content without issue. Threw a 2nd SSD in it and it's been a solid little machine (I run it headless and Remote Desktop in via my Mac laptop or iPhone).
