The Beelink U57 Mini PC impressed me with a near-perfect score when I purchased it as the family’s budget computer for use with video conferencing and distance learning on our Samsung TV. Windows 11 is supported with a free BIOS update (“MPC31V008_Beelink”) from Beelink that enables TPM 2.0. We will also go over some basic differences between Windows 10 Pro/Home and Windows Server 2016. Because the GT-R models share much of the same features and specifications, this write-up will contain much of the same content of my original GT-R evaluation. In this review, I will compare the Beelink GT-R Pro with its older GT-R sibling, make a brief mention of the VERY popular U57 and why it truly made me take note of the company’s mini computers. So, why did I decide to get the GT-R Pro anyway? The answer is simple: to give my brother the GT-R and take the opportunity to upgrade and physically compare what’s different between both models. The features of the GT-R Pro were useless to me at the time, and this opinion still has not changed. Far from it! Gamers, in particular, will find much to like about the Pro version. With that said, what is not for me does not mean it is a bad computer. The features of the GT-R Pro were useless to me at the time, and this opinion still has not changed today. Its AMD Ryzen 5 3550H processor and AMD Radeon Vega 8 graphics chip further enabled light video and photo editing, budget gaming, and has been serving two virtual machines (for my IT work) without any hiccup. It had a thoughtful design, generous expansion options that could challenge mainstream laptops and desktop PCs, and most importantly to me, its performance was among the best in its class and price range. A little over 3 months ago, I purchased the Beelink GT-R Mini PC to replace the Beelink U57, and was thoroughly impressed by the premium-looking, forward-thinking computer.
