Beelink L55 mini PC Intel i3 5005U CPU review

hi everyone,

Presently I’m gonna review a mini PC from Beelink.
it’s the Beelink L55.

it’s powered by the core 5005U Chipset.
It’s not newest CPU however in my experience even though it’s old it is really much better than the Intel Gemini Lake n4100 in terms of single-threaded functionality and graphics overall performance.

The mini PC L55 is literally a little bit smaller than I imagined it.

Beelink L55 specs

Beelink L55 Unboxing

2 HDMI cables, one shorter and one standart 1m.
A compact bracket plate I guess if you’re gonna VESA mount it put on back of a monitor or everything as that you just require the short one cable.

Housing of this mini PC L55 it’s made out of a hard plastic in it seems a Terrific good quality and the finish of it.

So far just looking at it and which the DC in there
of course the power it this is our exit

Vent straight Right here so warm air will come
out of this.

There is one upside-down HDMI 1.4 a port and DP port Right here too.

2 USB Additionally upside down and then two Gigabit LAN plus two USB 3.0 once more upside down.

Mini-pc L55 Right here we have what appears to be as a microphone upcoming to power button is truly a built-in status LED.

3.5 millimeter headphone jack with mic support and 2 USB 3.0 ports.
The first one could supply enough power for quick charging phones or tablets.

Will allow see what’s inside:

Internals you can reach with just 4 screws on the bottom and then the whole plate just lifts instantly up.

So we could upgrade the RAM I don’t think you can take though ddr3 spec 16 gigabyte single stick.

I think that’s only ddr4 that we can get with that and Right here we have a 2280 m.2 set of SSD.

You can simply replace it and then right here on the lid this is wherever you can attach 2.5 inch up to 2GB HDD (or an additional SSD)

the BIOS like you can look at instantly here, I’ve obtained full open to something so it’s completely unlocked presently.

But with this low in Chipset it’s not really Plenty use 🙂

We can’t exactly do a lot Below so inside volting.

these particular options are not open to
us even there well something here.

On First boot you will have to go through the Windows setup and individuals are the pre-installed set up languages on the windows 10 image.

So we have a hundred and 3 gigabytes free Below on first boot.

I haven’t installed anything just yet before I start my review.

The Windows 10 it’s all activated it doesn’t seem to have any problems I could go into Windows updates.

It’s working it’s pulling through the updates there too so the 8 gigabytes of RAM that is installed.

If you’rewondering about the speeds it is running at, nicely it’s 1600 megahertz and of course it’s just single channel.

The reboot time is fairly fast it only takes about 5-10 seconds or so and you’re into desktop.

That is possible thanks to the fast 512GB SSD:

almost 500MB/s read/write!

Allows look at Geekbench results I run:

It’s agood result for this type of Processor.

there’s no turbo there’s no plain adjustment in the frequency and all it just sits there so I wanted to do a compact bit of a real-world test Right here.

I’m not having any problems with the wireless range and the overall performance seems to be decent due to the fact I’m through a couple of walls here before the router.

Streaming experience and YouTube okay so they’re all loading in there and we’ll replace between individuals tabs so that it functionality that is Fantastic.

In fact I’m gonna have to say once more that this i3 Processor it’s undoubtedly improved than the Gemini Lake the Apolo.

Presently on to gaming functionality.

So lighter older titles this sort of as “Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam”, we’re getting ok just above 30 frames per second.
It’s not ideal however it is just playable.

So You’ll take a appear presently at the thermals it is Fantastic.
I haven’t incredibly noticed it fluctuate too Lots.
The frames may dip down a compact bit whenever you’re gaming however there’s no thermal throttling Right here or power limit throttling.
The frequency is often stuck at 2 gigahertz.
The now fan noise it’s on it’s cycling on and off and it is a small annoying and you surely hear it whenever gaming.
It is about 45 decibels.

Conclusion

This Beelink L55 mini PC for over-all computing spreadsheets Docs is Good.
There it feels faster gaming experience as effectively a little bit faster than these particular quad core low-end CPUs

Processor core i3 you have to the remind it’s an old one like well it’s a small bit dated so with no demanding work on this.
Video editing and dedicated gaming it’s not probable of course.

the 8GB of RAM is great.
The mini pC arrives with up to 512GB SSD and additionaly a 2.5 inch hard drive you could add.

The build good quality is Really nice and the thermals as nicely are truly good-looking.
