Do we like Beelink? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Of the main chinese miniPC manufacturers, BeeLink has the best customer service and highest quality control units. There's a lot of nee entrants in this space so there could be better than BeeLink, but I've been shopping for a minipc for awhile and beelink is better than minisforum, gmktec, trigkey, etc. From what I've been reading.
