Beelink SER6 (Ryzen 7 6800H) mini PC review - Introduction

Beelink SER6 Ultra Compact Mini PC
A powerful compact Form factor 8-core MiniPC based on Ryzen 7 6900H

Beelink has just released a new, tiny product that packs a serious punch. Presenting the SER6. A small and quiet 8-core PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 6800H processor. This mini PC packs a 500GB NVMe SSD, 2.5 Gigabit/s Ethernet, WIFI6, Bluetooth, USB4, HDMI and 32GB Dual channel DDR5 RAM. All that at a price of roughly 610 EUR/USD.

The Beelink SER6 represents the pinnacle of high-end configuration in a small package. It has a full-fledged AMD Radeon 7-6800H processor with a TDP of 45W, an 8-core, 16-thread CPU structure, and a 4.7GHz boost frequency. The integrated 12-CU Radeon 680M graphics unit, which is based primarily on the brand new RDNA2 structure and operates at a frequency of 2200MHz, is one of this processor's features, outperforming even many other desktop and laptop computer IGPs. We find 32 GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz Dual Channel in its two SODIMM slots. You could even swap that out for 64GB. You'll find a Kingston M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD 500 GB with a decent transfer rate of up to 3500MB/s for storage. There is also space for another SATA SSD. Wireless connectivity is supported up-to Wifi 6 (but not 6E)  (2.4 Gbps) + Bluetooth 5.2 are included, as well as a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port. We have three USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a 3.5 mm audio socket, a USB Type-C port whereas a single on of them is USB4, and duo of HDMI 2.1 outputs that support four displays up to 8K resolution. This unit's SoC, or better yet, APU, is a Ryzen 7 6900H, a mobile 45W 8-core 16-threaded processor. With an idle power consumption of less than 10 Watts, this unit is a lot of fun; you'll be surprised by what this product has to offer in terms of overall performance.

This product should appeal to users in the low-level gaming, SOHO, Net PC, or HTPC markets. The small size of the unit allows it to fit anywhere or can be mounted behind your monitor, it comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro; it is plenty fast enough for online browsing and office apps like Word and Excel. Simple Abobe workloads are also not a problem. Furthermore, you can easily hide this item behind your monitor or HDTV. Keeping this in mind, this could easily be a solution that accelerates and post-processes high-definition movies and music; the content would ideally be broadcast over a network. Net-tops and mini-tops come into play here. I wouldn't say I enjoy working on a laptop while travelling; however, bringing this along and connecting it via HDMI to a TV in the hotel room works fine; add a keyboard and mouse, and you're set. We can imagine a wide range of application scenarios.

We predict that it will be one of the most powerful tiny PCs we have tried thus far, with a strange innovation in design that allows it to adapt to any desk you will undoubtedly enjoy. We'll test the 8-core version with 32GB memory and 512 GB NVMe storage. In this configuration, it is priced just below 610 EUR at the time of writing this article.
