 Well, that was fast!

I'm sorry, but eat your heart out, Mac mini!  This little ryzen7 beast cost $400 and came free next day delivery. Came with 2 diff length HDMI cords, and a mounting bracket. 

Plus, bios instructions on the back and even a little pull tab to HELP you open the thing up.  

It's even packaged nice. 10/10 so far. 

Let's see how it runs. #beelink #amd #linux

 @ca83e289 What other I/O does it have? 
 @ca83e289 you'd only get a Mac if you wanted to code for aarch64 surely, otherwise x86 is always going to be miles cheaper/faster. Now find an aarch64 box cheaper/faster than a mini... 
 @ca83e289 when you mentioned you ordered one it got me thinking about getting one for myself.  Just trying to find a way to swing the purchase. 
 @ca83e289 
What's this gonna be used for moving forward? 
 @ca83e289 exact same processor I have on my laptop, it’s really good for work/daily activities, not much for gaming but that’s not the point of it anyways, I use Arch here and it runs so fast with this CPU
