BeelinkEQi12 Dual LAN Mini PC, Intel Core 1220P(10C/12T, up to 4.4GHz), 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB PCIe4.0 SSD, Mini Desktop Computer Support WiFi 6/ BT5.2/ Dual HDMI/Bulit-in 85W Power Supply

I’ve been using the Beelink EQ12 for my pfSense setup, and it works great! The dual 2.5Gb LAN ports give me fast speeds, which is perfect for running a smooth and reliable firewall/router. This thing handles everything easily, and runs non-stop without any problems. The small size is also a big plus, fitting perfectly in my setup and giving me plenty of connection options. If you’re looking for a compact, powerful PC for pfSense, this one is definitely a great pick!

I'm surprised at the power this has. Wifi is fast, it is perfect for media server. Everything on it works. I appreciate the non-bloated Windows 11 (though we all know these are destined for linux).

I'm using the BeeLink in my living room, connected to my TV's HDMI for streaming. I had been using an Intel NUC that couuld not be upgraded to Win11 because it doesn't have TPM. The BeeLink works great exept that, after I put it to sleep, it won't wake up unless I walk over to it and press the power button. The wireless keyboard nor mouse will not wake it up.

Love it! Compact, perfect for what I needed.

I've had NUCs and other mini PCs. This little box is perfect for my uses.The processor is quick zippy. So small I have to track it down on the few occasions I needed to access the physical box.Super easy to setup. Solid build quality. Latest wifi, lots of RAM, big hard drive.For the price, this is an awesome mini.

This mini computer works well, but some may prefer Ryzen over Intel and that is to be respected. I suspect that in 6 months the processor in this device will already appear to be somewhat passee and no longer worhtwhile buying. Computer technology evolves very quickly, but this unit is certainly sufficient for most any use with Windows or even with Linux or BSD platforms. I use mine with Linux and not at all with Windows and have no issues with it at all. The only thing I would note is that for use with Linux or BSD it is best to replace the Wifi-Bluetooth chip as the one provided here is not really suited to use with a UNIX platform. There is no driver support for it and the cost of an M.2 Card is fine for the use of this if one can hack the hardware though the nature of some of the M.2 cards may be tricky for some with the antenna wire connection. In such a case the more expensive USB dongle units with Wifi/Bluetooth function allowing Linux is an option. Windows use is definitely easier with this unit if one does not mind dealing with the Microsoft products.

Worked fine for one year. Then died. I was rebooting it and it shut down instead. Power button didn't turn it back on. I verified with a multimeter that the power supply is fine. Also, the power connector on the PCB is fine. Took it completely apart and no sign of anything over heating or shorting out. So I'm not sure why it just died without warning.

Bought this to use as a CNC controller (it runs on a Windows machine but needs a decent processor), and am really happy with how much power one gets for the money, plus Windows preinstalled! I put it in a VESA mount and attached it to the back of a touchscreen display, so it's a really compact but powerful system for a pretty amazing price.
