Beelink brand is growing dynamically and introducing new devices: TV Boxes and mini PCs. Today we have the Beelink S2 model that has fanless cooling, it is a new version of the classic Beelink S1 and it has also presented mini PC Beelink GMini1 in a larger format that includes an internal fan to improve the thermals. In these models, interesting novelties are incorporated such as HDMI 2.0 dual but that allows 4K video up to 60fps, we hope to do our usual review when it is available and share with you the experiences of use.
Design
It is a “casual” casing. Probably it looks like a black lunch box made of plastic material. the logo is a pretty good design, do not feel personality in particular from this angle,e. This product is equipped with input / output ports and buttons on the front and back sides, there are only ventilation holes on the left and right side.
On the front side there is a red power button, Beelink’s trademark. No, it’s not a big story, but I think this is cool. There are also USB 3.0 × 2, USB Type-C, and microSD slot. Also, there is a small hole at the left edge of the image. Beelink S2 is a computer enclosed in a 11.9 x 11.9 x 2 cm housing and weighing 337 g.
Hardware
It is based on a quad-core Intel Pentium Silver N5000 processor. It is a 14-nanometer CPU operating at a base rate of 1,.1 GHz, which can be increased to a maximum of 2.7 GHz. The N5000 has a 4 MB second-level cache and a two-channel RAM controller type DDR4 and LPDDR4-2400. In one silicon core there is also a graphics integrated Intel UHD Graphics 605 with eighteen executive units.
The GPU operates at a frequency of 200, to 750 MHz. We will find this mini PC in two versions with 4 or 8 GB of DDR4 Dual Channel RAM and with integrated storage of 32 or 64 GB of eMMc 5.0 storage memory. Do we have an internal M.2 slot and a 2.5? disk bay with SATA 3 connection. By means of these units, it is possible to expand the storage or change the OS to a faster unit.
Features
In terms of connectivity, we have a Wifi AC adapter that also integrates Bluetooth 4.0. As for ports we are o,n the front with two USB 3.0 Type-A and another Type-C, microphone compatible with the Windows assistant Cortana, status LED, power button and microSD card reader. On the back, we have a reset for BIOS, Kensington lock, DC port, two HDMI 2.0 video outputs or HDMI 2.0 and VGA output, Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 connectors and audio jack with support for headphones with microphone. The operating system installed by default will be Windows 10 Home as usual and has screws for a VESA mount. At the level of characteristics, it is identical to the S2 model but we do not have a USB Type-C port, it does not seem to have an M.2 slot and does not have a V, ESA support option. This is a model that is still under development and may undergo design changes.
