BeelinkEQI12 Mini PC,Intel 12th Gen Core i7-12650H (10C/16T,up to 4.7GHz),Mini Computer with 24GB LPDDR5 RAM 500GB M.2 2280 PCle 4.0x4 SSD,4K Dual Screen Display/WiFi6/BT5.2/USB3.2/Dual Gigabit LAN

I bought the i5-1235U model. I wanted a low power, compact, yet powerful mini-PC so I could run Proxmox and multiple virtual machines and LXC containers. I was able to easily load Proxmox 7.4 and upgrade to the Linux 6.2.6 kernel without issue. All hardware was recognized, and no hassle or driver issues. I did replace the NVMe SSD (which BTW, they use Kingston which is a very good brand, so kudos!) with a larger 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Disassembling the case was not terribly hard, but a little tedious to get the fan and heatsink assembly out.Internally the PC is very premium. They put a thermal pad on the m.2 SSD, and the fan assembly has a large heat spreader that presses against the SSD. This should really help with SSD longevity. There is space and a connector for a SATA 2.5" SSD, in case you need extra storage. The WiFi card uses the m.2 A+E key, so you could in theory remove the WiFi card and install a Google Coral TPU. Those have a massive lead time, so I can't vouch that those cards work in this mini-PC but it should.I have a few minor nitpicks:1) Lack of 2.5Gbps NIC. Intel 2.5Gbps NICs have a history of problems, so maybe use Realtek or something.2) Needs more USB-C ports that are 10Gbps or faster3) The fabric top is baffling. Makes for cleaning and removing dust extremely hard. It needs to be solid plastic like every other mini-PC out there.I contacted tech support to get the auto-power on instructions, which they promptly sent. Took all of 1 minute in the BIOS to change the setting. I verified auto power on works as expected.With a Home Assistant OS VM, and 5 LXC containers, the steady state power draw is 8w. This is excellent! The CPU is very powerful, so even with all these services running steady-state CPU usage is literally less than 2%.I highly recommend this mini-PC! Since the CPU is so powerful, unless you need all the horsepower you could get away with a less expensive model if you want to run Proxmox and a few VMs or containers.

Love it. Sure, it's no gaming rig, but that's not what I needed it for. It's a home office productivity center. It easily handles multimedia, Internet streaming, YouTube, "light" games, and office productivity programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). I'd buy it again. It's so tiny, ultra quiet and unobtrusive. I have two monitors connected to it and it handles both with ease. I tried connecting a 3rd through the USB C connection, but it doesn't appear to have that capability. At least not with a USB C to D-Port cable. Regardless, it's a mighty little device and I couldn't be happier with it even if I only have 2 displays.

I have now ordered at least a dozen of these computers over the last year and they have all worked flawlessly. They are fast with solid state drives and can support 2 4K monitors. They also have excellentcustomer service. I used to order the Intel NUC series mini computers but had several of them fail. I would recommend the Beelink brand to anyone needing a small form factor computer at a great price!

I'm using this MiniPC in my shop to manage my laser engraver and CNC router. All software runs well. The computer is silent though there is an internal fan. There's enough RAM and long term storage to make it a good replacement for the tower PC it replaces.

for a little mini this thing works really good , wife plays mostly on line games and keeps up very well. She is very happy with the product which make me very happy with the purchase

For the cost low and efficiency of this mini computer is perfect. Especially for my kid’s.

My wife's main PC for years was an Intel i5 NUC that we bought years ago. It had relatively good specs for it's time, but slower 2nd Gen i5, small amount of RAM and limited storage, plus the fact that it couldn't upgrade to Windows 11 meant it was time for something new. This Beelink SEI12 cost just a little over half of what her original Intel NUC cost, came with 4x CPU Threads, 4x the RAM, and 4x the storage of her old machine, and Windows 11. Setup was a snap with the only hiccup being the time it took to download the latest Windows 11 patches to bring it fully up to date. It's fast, responsive and best of all - quiet. Which was one of her most important requirements. It's not totally silent, but near enough that she doesn't find it distracting (about the same as the previous Intel NUC).

After almost a year of daily use, this PC is holding up great. Fan is a bit audible if sitting up on the desktop and running things that are high CPU load, but not excessively loud or higher-pitched, like some other similar form factor builds. Main uses are web and office apps, as well as video and music streaming. The Windows installation this arrived with was not activated, so had to contact Beelink support to resolve.
