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.

Great machine, I run Ubuntu 22.04 on it, only complaint is, the box doesn't want to do headless....Fixed that with a ~$3.00 (here on Amazon) HDMI dummy plug...works flawlessly (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTP15WX1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1)...Only complaint is, product description should tell you that you will need a dummy plug to do headless.

Great little PC. I'm using it to run Blue Iris to record my security cameras. It comes with a Windows 11 Pro license which is nice. I did some registry edits to prevent automatic updates and optimized it to reduce RAM usage. But with 24gb it's much less of worry than a computer with 8gb or 16gb. There is one quirk, the USB ports on the rear are oriented differently so you have to pay attention when plugging things in. I haven't monitored power usage but very little heat comes out of the vent. The BIOS is very impressive, it's simple and it has tons of options that I've never seen on any other computer. I was able to easily find the setting to disable Hyperthreading and I noticed it has power level settings that you usually only get on enthusiast motherboards, so you have a lot of ability to experiment and optimize.In about a week it has crashed once but I've never had a computer that didn't crash occasionally. If it seems to be a recurring issue I'll come back and knock off a star.

Beelink EQi12 Intel Core i3-1220P w 24GB RAM and 500GB SSDThe one thing you can always count on from Chinese companies is that the specifications are incomplete and conflicting. The quality is good, I am only talking about the description that you rely on when deciding to purchase.OS: No OS is stated yet it came with MS Windows 11 ProIt may act a little quirky while you are going thru all the updating, but once that is done, it works fine.i3-1220P: Tech is 10nm and Socket FCBGA 1744BIOS: American Megatrends International dated 6/2024SSD: Single 500GB PCIe4 SSD installed and claimed dual channel up to 4TB with 2TB x 2TB installed so there must be and open slot, but I can’t confirm yet as I have not opened case.MEMORY: As stated, LPDDR5 5200MhzGRAPHICS: Intel UHD 64EU imbedded in CPU.States that it is eligible for ARC Iris Xe. If you go to Intel Driver and Support Assistant, it is indeed able to install the Iris Xe drivers as it does have dual-channel memory. I do not know what enhancements will come with Xe, but you will still only get the performance of the UHD.HEAT: I had the unit on for over 2 hours setting up, updating, installing driver and software and the unit never even got warm, and the fan was not on. I guess it only turns on when it gets hot. I did not feel any air coming out of exhaust ports and no fan noise.USB Ports: Here is where I am having trouble. Company claims (3) USB-A 3.2 GEN 2x1 (10speed) but I can’t seem to confirm even with device manager, It does list one 3.2 but others are listed as 3.0 and I can’t find any utility that will verify. I can say that the 3 ports are of 3.0-3.2 connections by the 5 connections on the one side. There is 1 USB-A 2.0 (4 connection and facing other direction) and 1 USB-C port that is (10speed).CONCLUSION: This is my first mini-pc and I like it. I have a laptop but as my vision is an issue, I need a larger monitor (currently 27”) and I can’t close the laptop completely so it gets in the way. I have no issues with it other than that it is pre-configured with auto-on (wake mode) to allow you to turn on remotely which I don’t think is a good idea for 90+% of users. Of course, to turn it off, you need to move a jumper which is inside the unit, and I have not taken the bottom off yet. Not a desktop and not a notebook but unlike a notebook, you can make hardware changes without having to crack open your notebook. I like that. I recommend and you are getting a full-fledged 12th Gen CPU, not a stripped down one.

It's a great machine for basic needs. Don't buy this planning on doing major gaming though. If you emulate nostalgia games, it's great though. Apparently, I'm dumb, however. I tore the M.2 SSD and RAM out of another machine thinking I might just upgrade this one. There was an extra slot for the SSD. Easy enough. But I could NOT locate where the RAM goes. Surely it's not under the motherboard. That'd be silly, right?

Whisper quiet under load, low power draw, can’t speak on anything Windows related as I installed Ubuntu Server immediately after I unboxed. Hard to beat the price to performance (24gb of ddr5 is great, the i3 is plenty for non-intensive game servers with friends).
