It looks like the Beelink i one comes with a comprehensive set of inclusions. Inside the box, you get the media player, HDMI cable, USB OTG cable, power adapter, and a remote control. At this stage, it seems that the included remote is IR only, with basic directional mouse control. Looking over the marketing materials, there seems to be some interesting things mentioned. It appears that Picture-In-Picture will be supported which could be a great feature for those who want to keep an eye on multiple things at once.

It also talks about the “AZW custom UI” which seems to allude to a custom UI of sorts. I hunted around but wasn’t able to find any screenshots aside from those of the stock Android launcher over at the GeekBuying product page.
