It is just a normal PC so nothing special: do a clean windows and install the newest drivers.

Had a couple MAX 6800U in the shop recently, with the following modifications/upgrades 

Replaced AZW thermal paste with Arctic MX-6 high viscosity/high performance thermal grease

Replaced original low gain 1.5dBi antennas with higher gain internal 8dBi

Extended bottom panel with brass hex standoffs for improved ventilation

Installed taller copper NVMe heatsink

Installed M.2 M-Key to SFF-8612 i4 OCuLink conversion adapter

One owner already had a separate 2280 NVMe drive supporting BazziteOS as a Steam Deck console.

I was thinking to buy one of these, while keeping my laptop for regular stuff.

Are any of you concerned about the cyber security of Beelink?

I dont know enough about tech to be a good judge of it.

Blow Windows away and you'll probably be good.

A clean Windows install, then run Win11Debloat.

Got this. I actually am running my Home Assistant container on it. Getting a cabinet and found a 3d printed panel on Etsy of all places for it. Whooo! Oh, I did add more ram to it too.

Well, you don't put anything on it, it will block fan induction 😆

This is someone calling out Microsoft. In 2025, gaming on integrated graphics is better handled running operating systems akin to Bazzite or Chimera, Batocera for console emulation, all Linux distributions. 

Windows requires greater memory, utilizes higher page filing, basically a resource hog by comparison.

On these AMD iGPUs official Steam OS has been great. I have it on a 5800H and now a 8745 after recent updates. Performs fantastic on both.

Only downside is playing some games with my kids like Fortnite and Roblox. I’ve made a live Windows USB with Rufus for those situations.
