Unit I received is an Intel i5 8259U...but advertising is pointing to a 8260U
i linked or made reference to 8260U as the box I have and you can see it on the front it mentions cpu:8259
Can compare the pair
Let's Continue with Intel GT CORE i5 startup, a bit of Deja vu moment with the initial setup etc
Much the same well exactly the same,
Start up all good as Expected
Beenlink have this Windows Install and startup under control.
Typical Windows New install, asking all the questions
Connecting to Internet etc, Location, Keyboard layout all the usual stuff.
You have control(mostly)on what happens to your PC when it starts with questions asked.
Found both WiFi and Ethernet Good speeds as expected no surprises
Yes I copied the previous i3 start text, not much to add or say.
Plug it in switch it on tell it to do it it does, all very deja vu as mentions..
Lets update first to the Latest and Greatest
We cleaned the Desktop start as usual removed the junk (stuff I don't Use or need)
Device Manager
Hard Disk
Crystalmark Test
GPU
CPU
Hardware info

Beelink: Intel Core i5-8259U 3.8GHz Iris 655 Graphics
And a little more to warm you up
Can Never have too much Info:

Stress Time: Waiting for it to happen.

After 10 minutes: not a lot happening and cool Down
