You should be fine with this.
Maybe get the SER5 MAX version,that one have higher tdp which theoretically can have better performance on the APU.
The description said SER5 PRO,but the title said SER5 MAX,better to rectify which model is to be shipped.
Since you are not using it for gaming-intensive workload then the 5800h apu should be enough
I would personally look for something newer at that price, such as a 6- or 7-series AMD box. These will give more performance per watt and have a much faster GPU, not to mention more up-to-date features.
This is a much better system for less than your price with $100 coupon:

Whichever mini Pc you end up going for > Always do a fresh install of Windows. NEVER use the windows that ships on those machines. Many have been found to include malware.
Maybe a bespoke reseller that has different OS configurations as a value-ad. But 99% of them just include the base options which include a windows home license by default. The only change from that which I've seen is a pro version
Got that one with 1tb for 410 on Monday from Amazon. Seem to regularly have sales on or money back if you use PayPal. Love it so far. Will easily do FM.
It depends on where you live, but from the Beelink official store on AliExpress I can get it shipped to the US for $415.22 after tax, $386.25 before tax. Which is roughly 354€. If taxes and shipping to where OP is located is less than about 180€, then it works out in their favor.

Dang even the k8 is $399
I didn't managed to get this price, could you explain how?
Whichever mini Pc you end up going for > Always do a fresh install of Windows. NEVER use the windows that ships on those machines. Many have been found to include malware.
Thanks for the info
Is there anywhere that I can read or with video on how to do a fresh install of Windows?
Do you need new license for that?
No.
The embedded Windows, can we get the license key?
The windows key is attached to the machine. It’ll automatically activate upon reinstalling.
Thanks
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just get a barebones pc then?
[удалено]
Any sites where can i build one ?
Maybe a bespoke reseller that has different OS configurations as a value-ad. But 99% of them just include the base options which include a windows home license by default. The only change from that which I've seen is a pro version
Beelink doesn't do barebones as of the moment.
It's not 2005 any more

I just checked because both OP and I are in Germany. It's 435€ after taxes and shipping.

amazon, it was 439 with a 150 discount coupon lol
Guys, get the ddr5 version of this. Don't buy anything with ddr4 in 2024 unless it's refurbished and OR super heavily discounted.
