Beelink Mini S12 Mini PC, Intel 12th N95(Up to 3.4GHz) Mini Desktop Computer, 8GB DDR4 256GB M.2 SSD Micro PC Support 4K@60HZ Dual HDMI Display/WiFi 5/BT4.2/USB3.2/1000Mbps LAN/WOL for Home/Office

I love the small size.
Device was purchased to host a Linux server. Its small size makes it very convenient to place on top of another device on my the shelf at the back of my desk. Its small foot print print allows me to stack on top of another device set up as a firewall. It seems speedy booting Fedora 40 in a quick and efficient manner. I have not placed under a full day load yet.I have not cracked the case yet to see how expandable it is. If needed I fully intend to use a USB stick SSD to expand its capabilities. I have tested this and the front USB port allows for easier attachment of the USB stick.

Expectations compared to results
The good: Power supply is internal. Larger heatsink than EQ12’s. Good cooling. Dual NVME slots. Dual NICsRoom for improvement: In my opinion, the EQ 13 should have included dual 2.5G ethernet. Included SSD is only good for about 500 MB per second. EQ 13 probably should have used DDR5 instead of DDR4.Performance as is: Performance out of the box is very satisfactory for a quad core with 16G ram. Video output streaming is better than the EQ12’s in N100 / N305.Improvements that one can perform yourself: Replace the SSD with a decent quality NVME can boost speeds from 500 MB per second to about 3500 MB/sec in slot 1. SSD does not apparently work in NVME slot 2. Second NVME slot tops out at about 900 MB /sec ; still quite an improvement over the included SSD drive.While the specs suggest that 16GB DDR4 is the max, I put in a Corsair Vengeance 32GB SODIMM and so far it recognizes it and works under Windows and Linux. Tested speeds of 1GB ethernet was satisfactory and works good enough. My intentions for the device may include using it as a virtualization host but primarily for testing linux distros, and acquainting myself with Linux as a platform moving forward.Would I buy again: Possibly. I do really like having the power supply in the chassis. For most things, the 1GB ethernet is satisfactory, although I would have preferred 2.5 GBE. System has been quite stable and works well. If the N305 version came back as the EQ12 Pro or EQ13 Pro, I’d buy 3 in a heartbeat. As the N200, if I need a unit or two, I would not hesitate to purchase even this N200 EQ13 .Amazon Listings: The Amazon listings for the EQ13 are all over as far as accuracy is concerned. So instead, I went to Beelink’s own site to get specs; The EQ13 is 16 GB DDR4, with dual 1.0 GB ethernet included plus a Wi-Fi adapter included. The included power supply works well. The temperature that the fans turn on can be controlled within the BIOS and works well. The two NVME slots have an included heatsink. The NVME’s do not get particularly hot. The primary NVME slot is 3 lane PCIE 4.0 which can max out at Gen 3 speeds ( about 3500 MB per second ) and the second slot is limited to 1 lane and tops out at about 900 MB per second. The included UHD graphics works well with streaming services like youtube; Intel UHD graphics are somewhat less robust than integrated AMD graphics; Occasional dropped packets with Youtube is normal, but this version does seem to fare better than the EQ12 and EQ 12 Pro. Still, even the EQ12 and EQ 13 are perfectly OK for normal day to day use. I would not consider this platform a gaming system; although it may run emulation for other platforms OK.The N200 gives the end user a little more headroom than the N100’s do. Still, I’d buy again if I needed an additional unit or two.What features I found attractive: Integrated power supply is a very nice feature. N200 – a little more headroom. N100’s can bog down during Windows Updates a bit. Dual NVME slots. Dual network adapters. Overall, it’s a good little computer for the price and features included.FWIW: The reason that the NVME slots are 3 lane and 1 Lane is an Intel limitation on these lower end processors. It’s not really a Beelink design fault; but a limitation of the intel chipset. It works the same on many N100’s / N200’s, and N305’s as well, Beelink and other brands.

The Best Computer Ever
The Beelink EQ13 is the best computer I have ever owned. It runs fast and cool. There is zero fan noise. I hate fan noise. The fan on this computer is so quiet you can’t hear it. It’s a steal for the money.

Good computer at the right price.
I have purchased several of these. Great computer for surfing the internet. It isn’t a gaming PC but for basic computer tasks more that sufficient. I plug these into my big screens and with a wireless keyboard have a 50 inch plus monitor. They have been reliable so far.
