Beelink SEi13 uses the exact same CPU as the GTi13 Ultra but in a smaller and leaner package

Beelink has a handful of mini PCs under its belt including the SEi13 and GTi13 Ultra. They may look the same at first glance since they share the same design language, but they hide several differences upon closer inspection. Users in the market for one will want to know some of the major differences between them.

One key difference between the SEi13 and GTi13 Ultra is that the PSU is integrated onto the latter but not the former. Thus, the SEi13 is much lighter and smaller albeit at the cost of requiring a 100 W power brick. A notable side effect of an external PSU is that any servicing on the SEi13 is a lot easier when compared to the GTi13 Ultra.

Other differences include fewer ports and features on the SEi13 such as the lack of an SD card reader, fewer USB-A ports, and no user-upgradeable RAM. Thankfully, the two M.2 SSD slots, integrated stereo speakers, vapor chamber cooler, and SSD heat spreader remain.

Perhaps most interestingly, the SEi13 and GTi13 Ultra each ship with the same Core i9-13900HK processor despite their size and price differences. Users who don't need the extra auxiliary features of the larger GTi13 Ultra can find the cheaper SEi13 to provide essentially the same performance and user experience.
