Both mini PCs will run Windows 10, and support Cortana with their built-in microphone.

Beelink S2 is basically ready, since they’ll start mass production in mid April, and Beelink Gmini1 is scheduled for the beginning of May. The company told me over Skype that pricing is yet to be confirmed.

Notebook Italia also uploaded a YouTube video about the new Beelink mini PCs introduced in Hong Kong.

  1. Previous Beelink models had an option for the user to add RAM – making it dual-channel (which increases the graphic performance quite a lot). So do these models have this option?

    Is it HDMI 2.0? It should be (for Gemini lake).

    Pity that a M2 slot is not available for the Gmini1 model.

    It’s weird that the addition of USB-C (for the S2 model as opposed to the Gmini1 model) comes at the expense of USB 3.0 speed (for 2 ports) and the replacement of one HDMI port to a VGA port (but maybe the VGA situation didn’t result from a necessity, and they just thought that some people would prefer a VGA port for old projectors).

    1. Also, it would be nice to know if the HDMI supported CEC properly, and what surround-sound modes too (shame there’s no S/PDIF port)
