I read a good write up and review on one of these minis

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2...i-desktop/
Although much slower then a M1, these make great low power plex servers. The igpu's quicksync is plenty capable at transcoding for 3+ users. You could then free up your Mac mini for something else.

how comes these mini PC's are usually so cheap but always have decent specs? what are these usually used for
I use one even slower than this as the DVR server for my HD Homerun Prime. I usually use other devices to view the video, but these work fine for recording and playing the video over my home network.

Don t dispute what u say but at least Beelink SER5 , Ryzen 5650u, I bought at $208 have multiple reviews. Not sure re Ace. I would consider this N100 at $135 but I can't get below $160.

You can't get below as in you aren't seeing the $65 off coupon?
Came up for me just following the link. Maybe flush your cookies, different browser, use a VPN?
As for the "Intel vs AMD" argument on these mini PCs, it all depends on your use-case. Obviously for straight low-power gaming performance, the Ryzen 5000U series mobile CPU based mini PCs are always the better buy. Also for general desktop PC duties in most cases.
But if you want good PLEX transcoding, AV1 decode support, QSV, less buggy virtualization/server/homelab support, the Intel Alder Lake-N CPUs are the better buy, even with less outright CPU performance.
Also, the Intel boxes usually have better network I/O and USB4/TB4 I/O (on higher end models).
My 2 EQ12/EQ12 Pro boxes both have x2 Intel i225-v 2.5Gbps, PCIe 3.0 x1 M.2 (~800MB/s), and DDR5.
Both the speed and Intel based networking is crucial for homelab stuff. The PCIe based storage is better than any SATA based SSD, not just in raw sustained transfer speed, but low que depth operations, which is 99% of what an SSD does normally. As well as simultaneous transfers, any other real world performance metrics.
Then there's the secret magic trick of DDR5.
Definitely a benefit when using the iGPU as it uses the shared RAM for video RAM. But also because regardless of what Intel will admit, or any mini PC integrator will commit to, there is support for greater than 16GB. And unlike DDR4, DDR5 supports 48GB modules.
I wouldn't promise across the board support, or
flawless compatibility, but I've been successfully running 48GB in my N305 EQ12 Pro for months.

Do you know if windows recognizes all components after install or do you have install sketchy beelink drivers?

Thanks, see coupon now. Note that it showed EU adapter. Could not select U.S. Anyone buy and verify which adapter they received?

Same! The US adaptor option was listed out of stock. I figured "no prob" with all of the adaptors I have floating around.
But when I went to check shipping costs, it wouldn't let me ship to a US address.
Not the end of the world considering how many mini PCs (and unfinished projects) I already have sitting around, but a bummer for everyone else.

Not sure what drivers you're particularly concerned about, but you can always pull the drivers for each component from the manufacturer...
Sometimes there are fixes/optimizations developed by the integrator that make their drivers the better option, but nothing wrong with just forcing drivers pulled from Intel, Broadcom, etc.
