When booting Ubuntu 22.04.1 there are various error messages being reported in the ‘dmesg’ although the significance of which has not been determined:Īlso on Ubuntu, having installed Steam I could not get Grand Theft Auto V to run.
I also capture some basic details of the device for each OS. Prior to benchmarking, I perform all necessary installations and updates to run the latest version of the OS. On Ubuntu, I also compile the v5.15 Linux kernel using the default config as a test of performance using a real-world scenario. I test with a selection of commonly used Windows benchmarks and/or equivalents for Linux together with Thomas Kaiser’s ‘sbc-bench’ which is a small set of different CPU performance tests focusing on server performance when run on Ubuntu. I now review using Windows 11 version 21H2 and Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. When reviewing mini PCs, I typically look at their performance under both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) and compare them against some of the more recently released mini PCs. Also included is a multilingual user manual: In the box, you get a power adapter and cord, both a short and a longer HDMI cable, a VESA mounting bracket, a spare ZIF cable for connecting a 2.5” SATA drive together with a small packet of miscellaneous screws. So the device can only support two 4K displays via the HDMI ports: Unfortunately the Type-C port is neither a Thunderbolt port:ĭespite the controller showing up in ‘lspci’ on Ubuntu (see key hardware information under Ubuntu 22.04.1 below), nor is it capable of supporting video output through ‘Alternate Mode’: 10 Gbit/s):Īnd that the ‘black’ rear USB ports were USB 2.0:

There are also two SODIMM memory slots supporting up to 64 GB of memory and the review model included two sticks of Crucial 8 GB DDR4 3200 MHz memory for a total of 16 GB noting that this particular memory is single-rank:Īnd lists all of the USB ports as 3.0, so I tested them together with the Type-C USB port using a Samsung 980 PRO PCle 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD housed in an ‘USB to M.2 NVMe adapter’ (ORICO M2PAC3-G20 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure) which showed that all the ‘blue’ USB ports and the Type-C USB port were USB 3.1 (USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 i.e.
Internally there is a M.2 2230 WiFi 6E (or 802.11ax) Mediatek MT7921K card which supports the new 6 GHz band, an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 SSD drive (the review model included a 500 GB Kingston NV1 drive complete with Windows 11 Pro installed) and the ability to add a 2.5” SATA drive to the lid which is connected to the motherboard via a short ZIF cable: The rear panel includes a gigabit Ethernet port, dual USB 2.0 ports, dual HDMI 2.0 ports and the power jack. The front panel has an illuminated power button, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a data-only Type-C USB 3.1 port, dual USB 3.1 ports and a reset pin-hole ‘CLR CMOS’. As an actively cooled mini PC, it uses Intel’s ‘10 nm SuperFin’ Tiger Lake processor and the review model included an i5-11320H which is a quad-core 8-thread 3.20 GHz Core processor (at 35W TDP) boosting to 4.50 GHz with Intel’s Iris Xe Graphics. The Beelink SEi11 Pro physically consists of a 126 x 113 x 40mm (4.96 x 4.45 x 1.57 inches) square metal case. Beelink kindly sent one for review and I’ve looked at performance running both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.

The latest mini PC marketed in the ‘Pro’ range from Beelink is the SEi11 Pro and features one of last year’s Intel H-series processors typically used in gaming laptops.
