Powering up the mini PC and hitting the F7 key results in a boot menu that includes access to the BIOS.

With a CPU multi-core score of 8,492, the Beelink SER4 easily beats the M1-powered Apple MAC mini and two versions of the Intel NUC 11 Pro, but trails slightly in single-core performance.

The tests of other bigwigs are almost all adding a 16GB memory with the same specifications as the original to form a dual channel for the SER4.

I can confirm excellent transfer speed with the ASUS GT-AX11000, have seen >30MB/s in an adjacent room to the router), and Bluetooth 5. Cinebench works by using all the CPU cores and threads instead of the GPU to render a complex 3D image. In particular, the SER4 utilizes the very fast and relatively uncommon Ryzen 7 4800U which is unfortunately in very few other products.As a hobbyist, I appreciate the flexibility of an open BIOS that allows me to customize settings as I see fit. The integration of the whole Mini PC is very high, using 14 screws, the wireless network card antenna and the BIOS battery position are fixed by black glue. However, because the Beelink SER4 uses the AMD platform, the Type-C interface does not support the Thunderbolt protocol, and users cannot connect to the external Thunderbolt graphics dock through it.
