First of all i would like to say a big thanks to Sophia at Gearbest for sending the Beelink P1 to play with, Its very much the same as the Ainol which is a Awesome Device.
Hi people
Here we have my Review for the Beelink p1 windows 8.1 mini pc.(Activated windows)
I got my device from Gearbest which took 6 days to arrive to the uk via DHL (with a £15 customs charge)

* 3.5mm audio output: Immerse yourself in audio bliss
* Multi-language supported for multiple regions and dialects around the world
* 1000mAh battery (Not the best battery)
The first thing you will notice when you get this device is how small it is. (I guess that's why its called the pocket)
The beelink p1 is a really nice looking mini pc with its metal case witch will be a big help to keep the device cool it will ac as a heatsink.
This neat little device is a compact pocket sized high specification mini PC / TV box with Windows 8.1 OS (Authorized Licensed).Once its connected to the TV via the HDMI interface it will convert any regular TV into a Smart TV like a PC on your TV
The device looks & feels of high quality and is very well made "That well made i cant open it up as of yet"(just like the Ainol iv not been able to open that up yet ether) but as soon as i find a way into it i will upload some photos of the guts. This rely feels like a premium device.
The front of the device has no ports or indicator light. On the rear of the device we have 2 full sized USB ports,Micro usb port (5v DC power port),Mini HDMI output port,Micro SD card slot,3.5mm Head phone jack.power button & a power indicator led
The Beelink P1 Windows 8.1 Mini PC TV Box uses a 64 bit Intel Bay Trail-T Z3735F quad core CPU, pre-installed with Windows 8.1 operating system (Activated), with 2GB DDR3L RAM and 32GB Emmc ROM, supports Bluetooth 4.0 and wifi. It comes with two standard USB 2.0 interfaces. This Mini PC is also a power bank with a 1000mAh battery (Battery is not great).
Setup
The first thing i did when i got the Beelink P1 was to create a backup recovery to a USB stick using this guide for the pipo (Thanks go to Bob for putting this guide together)

After a few hours of windows updates i then made a system image backup by following the above guide guide (step3)
I also modified the boot.wim using this guide so my recovery was in english

Samsung 1TB un powered HD works
Teck stuff
I use an app on my android phone called unified remote to control my ainol its very simply to use it has mouse & key bored input i highly recommend trying it

Im not too keen on the look of windows 8 metro desktop,so i installed Classic Shell www.classicshell.net/ to give me more of a PC feel like windows 7
Kodi
Iv installed kodi 14.2 everything is running great iv just watched (streamed) 2 films one after each other with no problem at all the device is a little warm but not hot so i think the metal case is doing its job in keeping the Beelink P1 cool
