Same, but it does a pretty shitty job at everything I throw at it as a result. Might pick up a refurbished m1 Mac mini and put asahi on it. They are relatively cheap these days.
I have one of these things, though a slightly older model.
Beelink Mini S12 Pro Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel-N100 (4C/4T, Up to 3.4GHz), 16GB RAM DDR4 500GB PCle SSD, Mini Desktop Computer 4K@60Hz, Dual Display, WiFi6, BT5.2, USB3.2, LAN, Low Power https://a.co/d/dxxV7yK
I got something similar - it takes a little bit of elbow grease to get Linux running well on it due to the very new chipset (just the wifi/BT drivers though so if you only plan to hardwire, no issues)
Really ridiculously low power draw too.
Yeah,I used the same Beelink for my absolutely legal Plex setup. In my case it was getting drivers for HW video encoding working. Fantastic little machine in the end.
For the insane price, I was shocked at how good it is!
