Beelink MINI-S12 Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake-N95 Processor (up to 3.40GHz) Wi-11 Pro Mini Computer, 16GB RAM 500GB SSD Business Mini Desktop PC, Dual HDMI/WiFi 5/BT 4.2/RJ45/WOL/Auto Power On.
CamelCamelCamel.
Yes, the N100 is a much better deal.
This is the most wise choice unless this N95 was waaaay cheaper.
Will it be really able to display at 4k/60Hz resolution and run media (Netflix, Youtube etc.)?
Easily.
Absolutely. I've got a much weaker Celeron J4125 in this unit:

And 4K60 streaming in YouTube/Netflix is perfect. 12th Gen CPU's like the N95/N100 have fixed function hardware that decodes VP9 and AV1 in the GPU which makes media playback perfectly smooth while consuming very little power.
Thanks mate. I ordered one!

I am more leaning towards the 5800H but what would be best for databases/game servers?
I'm using an N100 box as a proxmox host - running a few linux VMs and containers, and honestly I can't fault it. It depends on how much you're going to scale up the databases - if they're just for development/lightweight use, then you don't need much CPU at all.
On the other hand, the 5800H would have more headroom and can go beyond 16G ram (which if you're running a lot of stuff might be worth it)
It'll just be some dev instances; I am more concerned about running game servers than the database side. That is more a nice to have if I want to let friends have a play, but I don't think I would be able to max it out with just half a dozen of us.
Are these decent quality? As reliable as Lenovo or alternative mini PC's?
Go for AMD or used core i5-8500T mini PC, like M720Q tiny.
I am confused who want Alder Lake-N95 Processor mini PC?
N95 is 15w, 8500T is 35w
Things like AV1 decode in hardware and much lower power consumption are important to some people. They make for great little HTPC's.
Astrophotographers
I have the N100 model for Astro. It works great inside but I find wifi is a bit weak outside where I do the astrophotography. scope may be blocking wifi so maybe a usb wifi dongle may help.
Yeah I’ve got a TP link one to extend the range when I use the Beelink but I’ve switched to a MeLE Quieter 3Q now which works better
I'd spring the extra $15 for the N100 version https://www.amazon.com.au/Beelink-Lake-N100-Processor-Comput…
Maybe add to your deal?
