Beelink EQI13 pro Mini PC W11 Pro, Intel Core i5-13500H Processor (12C/16T up to 4.7GHz), 32GB DDR4 500G M.2 NVME SSD, WiFi 6/BT5.2/Dual 1000M LAN, Mini Desktop Computer Dual Display Built in PSU

This is the closest Windows version of a Mac Mini M4 that is fully decked! The setup and updates went smoothly and while going through that process and even playing graphics intensive games. It is extremely quiet and everything looks just as high quality as a Mac mini. There's a video of how they put these together in YouTube and it's amazing the amount of work it goes into them. I got the 64GB version with 2TB (it includes two 1TB SSD cards) and Intel Ultra 9 185H CPU. The fingerprint reader works great each time you log on without entering a password. I paired this with the Beelink XP docking station and an MSI 5060Ti 16GB video card for a great combination to handle all graphics intensive applications and being able to play AAA games in 4K. It's just as powerful (if not slightly better) than my year-old full desktop PC with a 4070 card and i9 processor. It has a small footprint on the desk and provides all the performance and speed one can ask for. Beelink support is also great and they respond to questions within 24 hours as well as providing all the latest BIOS and driver updates on their website. I would highly recommend this mini PC with the EX docking station.

I recently revamped my home workstation, but having 2 monitors connected to a laptop that's nearly 5 years old was proving to be a somewhat inefficient setup, so I started shopping around for mini PCs. I initially had a different model from Beelink in my cart and happened to see this one in the recommended products right at the last minute; the specs were too good to pass up and I went ahead and spent the extra money. Setup was simple and fast. I like that it came with Windows 11 by default but that it was kind of a bare-bones installation without a lot of extra Microsoft bloatware. I've got one of my monitors connected via the HDMI port and the other connected via a HDMI/USB-C DisplayLink adapter; at first, the PC wasn't recognizing this monitor for some reason, but after restarting it to allow some other settings to take effect, the DisplayLink works just fine. I'm glad to have 4 USB ports as well. In terms of performance, everything is very fast and smooth; apps launch quickly and run well thanks to those 32 GB of RAM. I use my home workstation for working from home part time, which includes a remote connection to my office computer and a variety of Zoom/Teams calls and meetings, and this PC handles all of that well. I did have a little bit of an issue getting the new version of Teams installed, but that was more of a Windows 11 problem than a problem with this actual PC. One of the other reasons I opted for this model with more processing power and RAM is because I also do a fair bit of graphic design and am often handling large Photoshop files that my laptop sometimes struggled with, and so far they've all been a piece of cake for this little guy. I can't really speak to its performance with games (I'm a console gal), but I haven't had any issues with ordinary video streaming. It's also a very quiet little machine; I do have it mounted under my standing desk so that might kind of muffle any noise it's making, but I rarely even notice it making noise at all. Very pleased so far.

This replaces a massive hand built media computer I had for 20 years. This small box runs better andhas a quite start up. Very please with performance. The fan will rev up at times but I have it behind my TV and its not too loud and doesn't run on high very long. Overall very pleased.

I finally got around to setting this up a few months after purchasing it, and I am super impressed. It was easy to set up - basically plug and play - and it's been very fast and responsive with web browsing and installing simple PDF and remote desktop software. It boots and shuts down very quickly. My first gripe (minus 0.5 stars) is that it doesn't have multifunction USB-C input (not sure what the technical term for this is), but basically, I have a USB-C hub that has my monitors and all my USB inputs plugged into it. It has a single USB-C output cable that connects to my work laptop. This mini computer has a USB-C input on the front, but it doesn't seem to accept display or WIFI signals from that port, so I have to disconnect my USB hub and HDMI cables from my hub and plug them into this every time I want to switch over. I suspect the multi-input USB-C is a more high-end or expensive feature (?) and that's maybe why it isn't included on this very reasonably priced PC. I don't believe this computer is advertised as having this feature anywhere, so this isn't a bait and switch or anything like that, just something I didn't think to look for as a feature. My second gripe (minus 0.5 stars) is that there's something weird about the user account or admin level on the PC. It seems to recognize me as an admin, but I kept getting error 2503/2502 when installing software with a MSI file, which searching indicates is an issue with the permissions, possibly on the temp folder. I did a bunch of the troubleshooting steps I saw on YouTube and Reddit and various AI responses, but none of them fixed the error, except for "Run cmd as admin. CD into where the installer is saved and run it" from Reddit. To type that out more thoroughly for anyone else who may be having the same issues, search for Command Prompt in your search bar. When "Command Prompt" shows up, right click on it and select "Run as Administrator." CD is the command you type into the command prompt to Change Directory, i.e., change the folder the program is looking at. Your downloaded software file is probably in your downloads folder, which is likely on your C drive. Assuming that, type into the command prompt window, without quotes, "CD C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Downloads", then hit enter. It should create a new line with the folder path you just entered, indicating that the command prompt is now looking at that folder for whatever you tell it to do next. Now copy the name and file extension of the install file, like "bestpdfeditor.msi", paste it into the command prompt (no quotes), and hit enter again. That should run the MSI and hopefully install the software without the 2503 error. Maybe it isn't fair to take off a star because of something I didn't research appropriately and something that could still very well be user error, but it is what it is. Overall though, I would absolutely buy this again, and it's genuinely wild that we can get this much technology packed into such a small box for such a reasonable price. I'm not sure this could run complex software or intense games, but if you need something to manage documents and browse the web, this is perfect.

What a monumental mistake! I opened the case right away and put a sata ssd in the machine. The ribbon cable connecting the sata ssd came loose on one end, so I just pushed it back into the seat and closed the case. I didn't need the drive right away and didn't give it further thought until recently. That was the mistake. By the time I found out that the bios doesn't register the sata ssd, it was too late; out of warranty. I have taken it apart and properly connected and reconnected the cable ad infinitum and nothing. Now I have a machine that is out of warranty and cannot add an ssd because there is something very faulty. The ribbon cable and connectors are horrible quality. I just wish I had tested it right away and returned it. This is not reilable hardware. I bought a Dell micro, slightly larger footprint, but reliable and good quality components. Don't waste you money and time. The machine works okay with the nvme drive but I cannot expand it with a sata ssd as intended. I recommend you buy something else; anything else but Beelink. Update: It took forever, and after customer service could be of no help whatsoever, what I exptected since it was out of warranty. They handed me off to their parts people and I made my best guess that the ribbon cable connecting the 2.5 inch drive bay connector to the motherboard was the problem. I ordered the ribbon cable, but they sent the drive connector bracket instead. I wrote, sent of photo of what I got and asked for the cable. Eventually, and it wasn't that easy, I got the ribbon cable and my guess was correct; problem solved, the cost was reasonable since I made the repair, and I am happy to have the machine function as intended, but I'd still go with sturdier hardware that has an established supply chain, convenient and easy to access. Nice little computer, but I replaced it with a Dell Optiplex 7050 refurbished (pay attention to seller rating) for way less money, slightly larger footprint but sturdier and great parts availability to adapt and bring fully up to speed.

Easy setup and seems to be working really well. Little Learning Time with Windows 11 but that's to be expected. Everything was easy to plug in and work first time . I'm satisfied

8/2025 Update: I bought a SECOND to replace yet another W10. CAUTION: Do NOT connect to the Internet when initiating at first or else you cannot create a local Admin! If you attach the Internet from the get-go, it forces you to use a MicroSoft Account. The paper instructions make no mention of this! In July, I wrote: This EQi has W11 and Edge installed but otherwise a BARE machine (no bloat ware). To become useful, I added Norton 360, Chrome, RevoUninstall, Acrobat Reader (which loads McAfee (ack!)- which I immediately uninstalled), Notepad+, Paint.Net, etc. I was quite dubious until a friend bought one. I am an old-school tower guy building my own PCs since 1983 ... but this miniPC has turned the entire PC world into a consumable with the whisper fan being the SOLE moving part (not even aware it is running). You need an HDMI monitor (or two). CAUTION: Leaving USB thumb drives in for 30 minutes will heat up thumb drive (Use only for porting files in/out of the miniPC). So far, VERY impressed after full day of preparing it to replace an old W10 tower.

11th Gen i5, 16GB DDR4, Intel Iris Xe Graphics. and 500GB M.2 SSD Hard drive: It's eerily quiet and has not heated up. The CPU idle temperature averages about 40 C which isnt bad at all considering all the components are crammed into such a tight space. I added a spare SSD drive which slid right into a built in pocket that's inside and use one of those free back up programs to keep all the Windows library folders (Pics, Docs, etc) on a timed backup just in case the M.2 main drive every goes belly up. (Ive read this M.2 drive isnt the fastest compared to others but it seems just fine at the moment) Gaming-wise, I was able to run Portal 1 and 2 at 60fps and feel this might be topping it out. I dont think it'll smoothly handle anything heavier than Half Life 2. It isnt meant for newer FPS games of course. I ran a few Edge Browser tabs of 4k video simultaneously, no problems. (I didnt install any other browsers, just keeping everything stock as this is for my mom). Multiple Office apps don't even make a dent in performance. Beelink makes a few cheaper models but I wanted this thing to at least play a few FPS games from the 2005 era and the 11th Gen i5 with Iris Gfx during the time of purchase is the best I could get under $400. (Actually on sale for $327.00 + tax. )
