This Beelink Mini you point too seems like a nice choice. However, some thoughts, and questions:
*Am I right that I only see 2 USB ports? Not a deal killer as someone could add a USB hub but that takes up space.
*I like that it comes preloaded with Windows 11 (as I read in the description) and is in it's own case.
*I like that you can order it with more memory.
*It also looks a bit bigger then the Rock Pi in it's case. That could be a bit of an issue trying to get it to fit into small places.
*I know you have used the Rock Pi x, Have you found that the boot time into Windows in any faster then when using a Rock Pi X? The Rock Pi takes about 2.5 minuets for me.
*I really haven't compared the specs to the Rock Pi x but I'm assuming the Beelink is more powerful?
