How I use them
Back during COVID I wanted to set up a Raspberry Pi cluster in my home lab. Unfortunately there were no Pi's available. Even as other hardware makers were catching up, you still couldn't get a Pi.
That's when Beelink started coming out with these affordable mini PCs with better specs than the Raspberry Pi for not much more money, and they're ready to go out of the box, you can install anything on them, and the cords and adapters I already have work with them. It was a no brainer and I've been buying them instead of Raspberry Pi's ever since.
Currently using 3 in my lab set up to run:
1. Home Assistant
2. Wuzah
3. Postiz
4. TOR Gateway
4 cores and 16GB
RAM is enough to run most applications. In the past I've run Pi-Hole, T-Pot, Umbrel, CasaOS, Proxmox, SearX, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Plex, and a slew of other applications.
