Beelink – a leader in the global market, producing the most powerful set-top boxes (media players) for televisions. The brand’s products are characterized by affordable prices and unlimited functionality. Just look at the flagship GT-King, whose specifications have yet to be surpassed by competitors. And now, the company has made an offer that’s impossible to refuse. Its name is – Beelink T4 Mini PC.

At a price of 120 US dollars, the mini-PC looks quite attractive. Considering that it comes with a licensed Windows 10 Home. But there are also some drawbacks.
- The promised 4K video format is only available via the HDMI port. DisplayPort transmits the picture in 2K mode. By the way, it’s strange that support for 3D, which works in HD format, is not mentioned anywhere.
- The HDMI port has an outdated version – 1.4. This means that fans of watching movies with dynamic HDR 10 lighting will not get the expected effect.
- The video adapter may be disappointing if you take the device as a gaming console. The integrated chip does not have its own memory. Casual games require about 1 GB of memory, which will be taken from RAM.
- Memory expansion via SD card is great. But the limit of 128 GB seems somewhat inappropriate. Perhaps the issue will be resolved after the release of the next firmware update.
It’s clear that Beelink positions the T4 Mini PC Windows 10 product in the budget category. And demanding much at such an attractive price is unreasonable. But still, an overview is an overview. One would like to get everything right away.
Overall, the device is interesting. A mini-PC is an ideal solution for the office or home when comfortable work is needed and there’s no desire to hear the humming of a system unit nearby. The device will appeal to travelers and people who often go on business trips. No need to carry a laptop. With a Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Touch keyboard and a hotel TV, the set-top box can turn into a full-fledged PC or TV box. Considering that Beelink T4 weighs only 250 grams, and its compact size allows carrying it in a pocket. An enticing offer.
