Amazon.com: Beelink Mini PC, Mini S12 Pro Intel 12th N100(Up to 3.4GHz), 16GB DDR4 500GB M.2 PCIE SSD, Mini Desktop Computers Support 4K Dual HDMI Display/WiFi6/BT5.2/USB3.2/1000Mbps LAN/WOL Home/Office : Electronics

Right off the bat: I'll tell you that I purchased this specifically with KODI in mind.Why: I wanted to see if I could replace my current home built HTPC system, as that older system would not migrate to Win11 (and Win10 ends support in 2025). By the time I priced MB, CPU, Mem, etc for a system build that could run Win11 the total price easy rose over $300 ... and honestly that didn't seem to make sense to me.But this system, the Beelink Mini S12 Pro, hit the mark with features and price. (Paid US$ 159 using the $40 off coupon).If you did a search for KODI in the reviews, let me say it runs it flawlessly.I have this box (N100/16GB /500GB) set up as pass-through in Kodi -- hooked up to an Onkyo AVR (TX-NR676) -- connected to a Hisense A7 85" TV. I have an HP IR receiver (shown in picture next to the S12 Pro) and I still use a Harmony 900 to control KODI (as my devices are behind a wall, and not exposed). My source videos are on a NAS (not on this box).Running 4K on this little box exceeded my expectations.Is it the solution for all the world ills? No. Likely gamers would not want to use this ,as at its core is a mobile processor (the Intel N100). But for me, that is a plus as it dramatically reduces the power consumption while getting me a system that is Win11 capable.The only negative that I can think of is that the system will not power up via an IR signal. But that is the same for most computers... so I won't ding that a star from my review. (HOWEVER, if Beelink were to add an IR Receiver into this box that could power up the system, they would rule the HTPC-in-one-box market.)A very good system at a fair price.

This is my first mini pc. I got it to replace a very slow laptop. It has plenty of storage and ram. It is fast enough for me. Windows 11 is an added penifit along with with all of the ports included.

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 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.

Easily meets my expectations. I had doubts. But 2months in, this baby is still blazing along. It's compact. And quiet. Fairly easy to set up. I was unsure of the HDMI connection. They worked fine. I had to fiddle with settings some. But once set it's fantastic. Lots of storage. Great buy.
