The Beelink U59 is a small desktop computer powered by a 15-watt Intel Celeron N5095 quad-core processor based on Intel Jasper Lake architecture.
First announced in September, the Beelink U59 is now available from the Beelink Store or Banggood, with prices starting at around $220.
The little computer measures 4.9″ x 4.4″ x 1.7″ and supports up to two 4K displays thanks to dual HDMI 1.4 ports on the back of the computer. There are also four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a USB Type-C port, a headset jack, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, and support for WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Beelink U59 supports DDR4-2933 memory and features an M.2 2280 slot for SATA solid state dries as well as a space for an optional 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD.
Beelink offers two different configuration options:
- 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for $220 (Banggood) or $279 (Beelink)
- 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for $290 (Banggood) $349 (Beelink)
Beelink says the system ships with Windows 10, but it supports a free upgrade to Windows 11, and the computer should also supports Linux.

This would be great if it was 100% compatible with Linux including the Wifi adapter. But Beelink does not support Linux or open source Wifi drivers.
Beelink has tried to pay me to be a reviewer for them, and of course I declined. While I know that other companies does this too, and I don’t know anything about their products, I cannot actively support a company that violates their customer’s trust in this manner. Pass….
I don’t think I could go back to integrated graphics… at any price.
Hmm, if it only needs 36W it would be nice if they’d just have gone with USB-C PD instead of laptop power supply with a barrel plug.
I would double check the requirements but this might work for anyone who is interested: https://www.amazon.com/2-Pack-JacobsParts-Type-C-Trigger-Connector/dp/B08NRM6X2Y
That’s a good point, I have used barrel-to-usb-c adapters to get rid of the bricks for a couple of old laptops, they work well.
