Deal | Beelink SEi12 deal takes over 25% off Intel Core i5-1235U mini-PC with 500 GB SSD and 16 GB RAM

Amazon US has reduced the price of a particular Beelink SEi12 SKU, only a few months after the manufacturer introduced the mini-PC. To recap, Beelink sells the SEi12 with the Intel Core i5-1235U, an Alder Lake-U series processor with 2 performance cores (P cores), 8 efficient cores (E cores) and 12 threads. The Core i5-1235U also features an Iris Xe Graphics G7 iGPU with 80 Execution Units (EUs), which accesses the same 15 W TDP as the processor's 12 CPU cores.

According to our benchmarks, the Core i5-1235U outperforms the Core i5-1240P that Beelink offers in the SEi12 Pro. Additionally, the Core i5-1235U is only about 10% shy of the Core i7-1260P, despite featuring 2 fewer P cores and operating at roughly a 50% lower TDP. The SEi12 Pro starts at US$599 with storage and RAM included too, US$200 more than the deal price for the SEi12. The latter contains the following I/O and expansion options:

• 1x 3.5 mm jack
• 1x 2.5-inch drive slot
• 1x DC-in
• 2x HDMI
• 1x Gigabit LAN
• 1x M.2 2280 slot
• 1x Power button
• 1x RTC key
• 2x SO-DIMM (DDR4-3200 RAM)
• 2x USB 2.0 Type-A
• 2x USB 3.0 Type-A
• 1x USB Type-C

Currently, Amazon US has discounted the Beelink SEi12 to US$398, a 26% reduction from its US$539 list price. For reference, the SKU also ships with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM operating in dual-channel mode and a 500 GB SSD that Beelink claims is a PCIe 4.0 SSD.
