I have a Beelink with a very similar CPU/APU as the AM06, it has the Ryzen 5 5560U, great little computer, will play most Indie games and older AAA games all day long, defiantly good enough for a daily driver as long as your not doing anything that is super CPU intensive.
I got the same specs on my laptop. It's alright for a midrange laptop it beats my 7 year laptop. Although the gpu is on the lower end. So it's a midrange lower end budget system. Eta prime got to run botw but he push the performance to the max. Me I'm not too fond of pushing it. So I usually use my old 7 year laptop for running batocera.
It's got the same chip as my work laptop, so I had the chance to see the performance my laptop won't be achieving, because it's a work laptop for work. Unless I get a bigger ssd for it, in which case it'll definitely game because it can!
@TechDweeb You've developed a really slick brand with lots of details and texture and style that's fun to watch even for products I'm not interested in buying. Bu... but, if your sponsors are reading, I AM interested in buying their products. All of them! Especially the ones they send you for free
Really impressed it is not full of bloatware!! That and the fact that it is not noisy are two very important factors for me. Very silly question: in terms of gaming how different do you think this APU is compared to the 5600H? The 5600H draws more power so it may be better for gaming/emulation. Your humor btw is just AWESOME 😎😎😎
Not sure tbh. I haven't had a chance to try the 5600H yet. Probably not as powerful as that, like you said because of the power draw, so if raw performance is what you want then it's not going to do as well, but I think the 5650u will be more efficient, and I doubt they're THAT far apart for performance anyways.
These Mini PC can be a good replacement for Raspberry Pi arcade builds, Thank you Mr Dweeb, your content is always enjoyable and informational. Keep up the Great work
I always wonder with these little boxes if an eGPU would make it a true gaming beast... I think that separated gaming PC components would be an interesting aesthetic, if somewhat limited by communication bandwidth or whatnot... I came from the Apple ecosystem in days gone - and I still restore old ones - and some really nice monitors got ignored because the PC inside had an easily dated GPU component you couldn't change. I mean, a 5k monitor with a 395x? Yeah, it was a good card - but gaming with it at 5k in 2015 would still have been, um, rough... I digress, fellow dweebs. Personally, I'd love to see more cRPGs on these little boxes in benchmarks (but I realize it isn't what most folks care about in fps scores). The CPU is often as important as the GPU with all the math stuffs, and I've seen quite a bit of bottleneck on (admittedly older) CPU/Graphic Card combinations - Owlcat's Pathfinder is actually kinda mean, PoE can be surprising. Anywho, thanks for another video!
Love those little PCs. I have one in my bedroom and it jams just as much as I need it to. I may upgrade in the near future, but i just can't justify at the moment, but when I do I'll be sure to use your amazon link like a good dweeb.
I'll upgrade to a mini pc eventually, but I think that I'll wait a bit and go for DDDR5 as the benefits of fast RAM for the graphics are significant. Triple decker PBJ form factor is burned into my psyche. Now you made me hungry! 🤤

@@bondr006 ugh this comment reads like a paid advertisement. who compares a higher end $500 mini pc to a $300 one anyway? they're marketed at two different types of people with different needs and budgets
@@hi_its_jerry Well, first off, I am just a consumer like you, so not paid. This is my personal PC and it excites me to see the power this little thing has, especially coming from an 8 year old HP laptop with quad core i7, 16gb ram, and Samsung 840 EVO SATA SSD. For just a couple hundred more you can have a much more powerful beast with a better name.
@@bondr006 A couple hundred more is double the price of this. In no one's world they are comparable. There are plenty of other reviews for more costly mini pcs. It is only "junk" if you can find a better mini pc for same price level.
Did your unit not have any spyware built in? So many complaints about the older models having REDLINE STEALER preinstalled. Your unit seems to be booting into fresh windows but that is apparently not a clean install.
Yeah both the same level. This one is better though. Hard to say exactly, maybe 10 to 20% better? The main benefit to this one is that it's a lot smaller and super quiet.
Can i run Davinci Resolve 18 on this ? I want to edit video for my You tube channel and my laptop is getting old (5 years) and looking for a good / cheap replacment I also like to play retro games Thanks LOVE UR CHANNEL
not bad for the price.. i mainly play Path of Exile.. any chance you can try that on this? i would pick one up in a heartbeat if it can play that smoothly.. Thanks TD!!
i bought a Beelink Ser5 pro 5800H and man that has the vega 8 iGPU with 32gb of memory its a power house of a little box that is the same size as my xbox controller lol.
Yup, you can do video editing. Heavy stuff will get laggy (effects, filters, etc), but normalish video editing should work fine, and rendering is fine too.
Definitely! I think this would be a solid combo, however just know that the xbox 360 games and some of the ps3 games might not run at full speed. You should have no issues with gamecube and below though.
@@TechDweeb do you have something that you recommend that would handle everything? I don't want to get something that's way too strong, just something strong enough. Thanks!
I just have to ask, why do you dislike USB-A ports so much? On several occasions I have noticed that you continue to call them a-holes. I mean sure, they are the slower, elderly brother to USB-C ports, but that is no reason to call them nasty names :p On a side note, I have a decent gaming PC, but this might be a good device to hook up to my TV as a dedicated emulation device when paired with the Hyper Base drive you reviewed a few weeks ago.
@@TechDweeb Thank you. I’ve been a bit disappointed with the PlayStation/Sony lately and was thinking of giving PC gaming a go. Not sure if this or the Steam deck.
To me the rounded corners look super dated. They will especially in a few years, but even now. Websites abandoned that aesthetic a few years ago, now it's all about clean grids without drawing attention to the edges. I feel that the Metro aesthetic is a lot more in keeping with modern design trends.
@@TechDweeb HOw is that Possible since actually it is Square corners that are older? Since the inception of a GUI they have always been Sharp and Square....only MacOS had it round to better conform to the actual shape of the edges of a CRT screen.
It's a PC you can use for gaming, sure, but I really wouldn't call it a "gaming PC" when its onboard GPU is so much weaker than my very aged 1050 ti. Also, some indie games are pretty damn graphically intensive these days - the 6 year old Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, for example, is as gpu hungry as Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
$260 is NOT cheap, under $100, now you're talking cheap. I challenge you to find an x86 system that can run all the way up to xbox 360 games for less than 100 USD. Can it be done? I don't know.
Ridiculous, in terms of mini PC's yes 260$ is cheap !! If you're looking for something for under 100$ or lower that can do what you're asking then I CHALLENGE YOU to find one and make your own video on it. If not sit down and stfu and enjoy the video.
@@jonnyfatboy7563 nope. I reject that, I think with enough hunting, you COULD find a used x86 platform that could handle xbox 360 games for under $100. It might not be this tiny formfactor, but then again I've always found super tiny PCs silly
