An SFF system with a Ryzen 7 7840HS

The Ryzen 7 7840HS is a mobile chip, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it for something else. The Beelink GTR7 isn’t a laptop, but that doesn’t mean a Zen 4 mobile chip won’t be happy in a 6.6 x 4.7″ x 1.9″ package. Beelink included 32GB of DDR5 memory, a 1TB NVMe SSD and WiFi 6 inside, and there’s a Beelink GTR7 Pro with even more power if that’s not enough for you. The front has a power button, clear CMOS button, USB-A and USB-C USB4/Thunderbolt3 port, while on the back there are two 2.5 GbE LAN ports, two USB-A 2.0 ports and two USB-A 3.2 Gen ports 2 10Gbps ports. There are also dual audio jacks, a rather unique feature apart from DP and HDMI output.

Serve The Home scored it against a suite of other SFF systems and the Beelink GTR7 tops the charts, usually by a significant margin. The small size doesn’t affect performance either, at full load 96W the system produced a very reasonable 45-46.5DbA. There was a small problem, the AMD driver detection does not work reliably with this Beelink, STH had to reboot at one point to get the drivers they needed.

The system will cost you just over ~$800 when it hits Amazon, which will be soon.
