Video Description

We check out the Beelink GTR7, and show why this new larger AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS Mini PC addresses our concerns taking the best features from the GTR5 and GTR6. Still, there were some quirks to the system that we get into. We also test things like League of Legends for gaming and even eGPU USB4/ Thunderbolt 3 in this video.
