Still running with the Beelink as my main kitchen client and continue to be very happy, even considering buying a second one for the bedroom. Overall performance is good although navigating the TV guide is a little slower than the laptop I was previously using (but still perfectly usable). Playback all very good up to and including 1080p MKV files through Plex. Not seeing any heat or throttling issues that similar mini PCs can suffer from.

For network connectivity I first tried a no-name USB-Ethernet adapter and had terrible performance issues but found that replacing this with a better Dell branded dongle (about £5 on eBay) solved this issue. Note that some sources have reported that WiFi reception on the Beelink is not that great but haven't tested myself.

It should be noted that some sources state that the Pocket P1 has an IR receiver - this is not the case (I'm using a HP MCE remote USB receiver).

The only real issue I had was preventing the unit from going to sleep (power management is configured as if it were a tablet) but found that running a copy of the caffeine utility solved the problem.

Hope this helps!
