USB Logitech c270 webcam works fine
External Samsung hard drive of 1TB works fine powered by the Beelink
QODI Kodi is working well for me,Played some 4K test footage ok up to 100mbps is fine but over that it stutter and jerks.
HDMI CEC works great i love being able to control the box with my normal tv remote this is a great touch.
IR Remote control Does work ok and not the worst iv use but with any TV Box You really need an air mouse.
All my tests have been done using the stock rom that the unit came with.
A look at the Beelink UI
The box feels well constructed & has vent holes on the bottem,On the front there is a clock another nice thing to have on a tv box,when its booting it says boot, also on the front is a little window for the remote control sensor, There¡¯s NO power button on the device its self.On the rear there is the HDMI in & out port, the 12V power connector, an Ethernet port, & SPDIF port,On the under side there's the recovery button and the SSD compartment.
Here's a few photos of the Beelink's internals.There No heat sink as such but there's a thermal pad that connects to a piece of metal to help with the cooling,I would of liked to have seen a real heat sink as once the piece of metal gets hot it will stay hot But saying that the outer temperatures of the box iv been seeing are no higher than 37c but some apps are reading the cpu tempertures as high as 80c while playing games and heavy usage.
Internal Photos
Beelink says the device comes rooted But i can tell you its NOT rooted there¡¯s something wrong with the root, cpu z says its rooted but its defiantly not iv also tried installing super user apps but they wont install
Once booted it runs well not too slow but not fast either.The launcher that¡¯s installed is the light Home launcher with is pictured below this is nice to use on a big screen tv.To be fair it a good start i would hope to see some firmware updates to especially fix the root issue and it would be nice if they added the bottom status bar

The Beelink SEA I is good for streaming your multimedia from a HHD or SSD,As media playback run nice with no lag, stuttering or buffering unless your playing anything over 100MBPS as that is not playable,Iv watched about 5 full HD tv programs with out fault,Its also great for web surfing, and video streaming apps such as YouTube.
Iv tried a few game's & they run fine i always try beach buggy blitz with the graphics set to high & again its perfect.
Sixaxis controller App DONT work as that needs root so the games iv tested i have been using the Tronsmart mars G01 game pad
