Deal | Beelink SER8 mini PC with 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS APU and 32 GB RAM scores $130 discount on Amazon

Beelink is a well-known brand of mini PCs, and is responsible for plenty of well-reviewed products. The SER8 mini PC is one such system, boasting an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS "Hawk Point" APU paired with a healthy amount of memory and storage. Thanks to an ongoing sale on Amazon, the capable mini PC can now be purchased for an all-time low price of just $498.99 on the platform.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS inside the SER8 mini PC is an 8-core, 16-thread chip based on the Zen 4 architecture. Despite being over a year old, the APU manages to hold its own against modern-day chips in synthetic benchmarks, slotting in between the Ryzen AI 5 340 and Ryzen AI 7 350 in Cinebench 2024. The 2-year old Radeon 780M iGPU is pretty decent for an integrated option as indicated by our review, and is roughly 10% slower than a GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q GPU.

That said, folks who prefer OCuLink for speedy eGPU connections will be disappointed with its absence in the SER8 mini PC, and will have to rely on the slower USB4 standard. Our in-depth review of the Beelink SER8 mini PC hailed it as one of the best mini PCs out there, and for good reason. The mini PC performs admirably under load, with external temperatures and fan noise well under control. Both the 32 GB of DDR5 memory (Dual SODIMMs) and 1 TB SSD storage (Dual M.2 2280) are user-upgradeable and accessible, which is always preferred. The port selection is as follows:

• Dual USB 3.2 Type-A (10 Gbps), Dual USB 2.0 Type-A
• USB Type-C (10 Gbps), USB4 Type-C
• DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1
• Audio jack (3.5 mm)
• 2.5G Ethernet

WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, on the other hand, take care of wireless connectivity requirements. All told, at its current sale price, the Beelink SER8 mini PC boasts commendable value for the vast majority of potential customers with modest performance requirements. As always, interested customers are encouraged to be aware of the time-sensitive nature of Amazon deals.
