These seem like ideal machines for workstations, for mom and dad, and for virtualization hosts.

This model, the Beelink EQi12 even has a built in power supply so managing them in a rack is also super handy. And of course the price is not too shabby either.

I have had pretty good luck with these in the past but I’m interested in hearing other’s experiences, if any.

I can’t imagine that they are 100% on top of firmware updates, but have they had issues in the past with Windows keys or any other shady stuff I should know about?

    I was thinking of using a beelink machine for pfSense, but ended up just getting netgate 1100 to avoid the hassle of software installation as I’m still new to networking, I don’t have experience with beelink but if I were to do it again I’d try with beelink eq14
