From limited testing, the Beelink S1 functions as an excellent, inexpensive Linux-based mini PC. The quad-core Celeron processor is more than capable of handling most desktop tasks. The Intel GD Graphics 500 video performs competently. For example, there’s no video tearing evident on YouTube videos, or watching HD video with vlc. Bluetooth speakers were easy to pair, and Wi-Fi is working great. I almost exclusively run Linux from SSDs. But the mechanical 1TB hard disk performs well.
