Beelink EQi12 launches as a more powerful mini PC than the EQ12

Beelink has launched a new mini PC, the EQi12. It's an upgraded version of the EQ12 that the brand introduced last year, which came with the Intel N100. The newer computer can be equipped with up to the Intel Core i7 12650H, one of the higher-end chips from the Alder Lake series. The base variant has Core i3 1220P, while the middle-of-the-line model has Core i5 12450H.

All the variants come with 24 GB of LPPDR5 RAM running at 5200 MHz and up to 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. The company has them available on its official website, and the starting price is $319. Some configurations are also available on Amazon.

As for the design, it's very different from the EQ12 that the company launched last year. Instead, it is more similar to the EQ13 that was released recently, and just like the EQ13, the Beelink EQ12i comes with a built-in power supply unit, which is rated at 85W. This eliminates the need for an external power adapter.

When it comes to connectivity, there are a generous number of ports, including one UBS-C, three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, one USB 2.0 Type-A, two Gigabit Ethernet, and two HDMI ports. For wireless connections, the Beelink EQ12i features an Intel AX101 card, which brings Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6.

Other highlights of the mini PC include support for up to 4 TB of storage with two M.2 slots, an advanced cooling setup that's said to offer near-silent operation, and a relatively compact form factor. You can learn more about the Beelink EQ12i from the spec sheet attached below.
