I have a beelink very similar if not the same as the ones they are building in the video. It's my primary desktop. I purchased it after my tower died. I have an n100 that is my plex, *arr platform and VPN. Works very very well..

I would not think twice about buying another beelink.

The ONLY thing I don't like about it is having to finish the install of windows before you can wipe the ssd.

But other than that. Gravy.

    Why? Can't you get to the bios, change to usb boot loader, boot linux and wipe the disk?

    You'd think you could.. but you can't even get to the bios before finishing the install.

    There's probably a way... But I wasn't able to find it.
