BEELINK leaves the TV box market

The cool Chinese TV-BOX brand Beelink has changed its priorities, deciding to close the production of portable TV boxes. But it's too early for competitors to rejoice. Since the manufacturer does not intend to completely abandon the consumer. On the contrary, for many brands, the new policy of the Chinese does not bode well.

BEELINK leaves the TV box market

 

The Chinese are selling the latest TV-BOX at low prices. It is not yet clear what will happen with the software support for already sold gadgets. There were no official statements, as well as new firmware for 2019-2020 devices. I really want to believe that Beelink will not leave users without support. After all, gadgets were purchased not in the budget segment.

The main direction for development will be compact computers for various spheres of human activity. This is a fairly large segment of business for the Chinese. In addition to home multimedia, Beelink offers the following solutions:

 

  • Game boxes based on single-chip systems.
  • Office laptop PCs for small and medium businesses.
  • Multimedia systems for home based on AMD and Intel platforms.

 

Functionality and performance in one device

 

The main feature of Beelink solutions is that just one gadget is able to completely cover all user needs. New devices can replace PC, laptop, tablet, TV-BOX, NAS.

Such a solution is far from new to the consumer. For several years in a row, there have been analogues on the market from well-known world brands - HP, DELL, Intel and other manufacturers. A distinctive feature in the price. Beelink products are 5-6 times cheaper and offer more advanced functionality. In addition to working as a regular PC, the device supports:

 

  • Transferring images to TV 4K @ 60FPS.
  • Hardware decoding of video and sound.
  • The ability to play productive toys.
  • Streaming services.

 

Does it make sense to buy new Beelink gadgets

 

In the context of financial benefits - definitely. Buy a portable computer Beelink at a favorable price. It can be upgraded, repaired and customized to suit your own needs. The gadget has a compact size and all the demanded interfaces for connecting to multimedia and peripherals.

There is also a downside to this medal. Back to the 2019 gadgets (like our beloved Beelink GT-KING) you can see one oddity. Complete lack of technical support from the manufacturer. For over a year we have not received firmware updates on TV-BOX. And only 2 years have passed. The set-top box works exceptionally well, but the market is constantly replenished with new video and audio formats.

Naturally, there are questions to the Beelink brand - why the $ 120 set-top box lost support. And what guarantees that the new notebooks based on AMD and Intel will receive long-term support. For example, DELL has been accompanying the user for 5 years. And Intel even releases drivers for platforms many years ago.
