About this deal

And yes, I am just as excited as ever to get to test and review this Beelink SEi12 mini PC that boats specs that promise to provide a relative powerhouse experience.

I only looked at gaming on Windows as setting up gaming on Ubuntu is just too fiddly, time-consuming, and sometimes unreliable nowadays. Small games like CS GO, Asphalt and less graphics-demanding games have steady FPS throughout and work absolutely fine. There Beelink branding and the SEi model name on the bottom-right corner are very subtle, blending in extremely well with the rest of the housing.

I read the forums and it turned out that the problem of two modules not working simultaneously is quite common and is solved by changing (lowering) the frequency of the modules. Even in demanding tasks such as benchmark testing, where the hardware was pushed to its limit, the noise made by the fans was still rather tamed. Beelink kindly sent one for review and I’ve looked at the performance running both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22. This also shows that although the 12th-generation mobile Core processor has greatly improved CPU performance, GPU performance is actually stagnant. With theoretical read speeds clocking in at an impressive 4500MB/s and beyond, users can relish faster system startup times and quicker file access.

We use it to assess overall system performance in different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows like word processing, spreadsheet jockeying, web browsing, and videoconferencing. This cutting-edge card boasts support for the latest wireless technologies, including WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5. Faced with this hefty expense, I made the difficult decision to part ways with the old machine and replace it with a SEi12, which cost me a thousand yuan. The SEi12 scored 1619 in single core, 7475 in multi-core, way above systems with the Intel Tiger Lake mobile CPUs. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.Everyone knows that PS photo editing software is relatively hardware-intensive, especially in terms of memory, which requires the exchange and storage of big data. For the uninitiated, the above specs are most impressive and while it's no "gaming" PC, it does a decent job handling popular titles like PUBG, Fortnite, CS:GO, GTA-V, DOTA2. When it comes to accessories, the package not only includes the Mini PC and its power adapter but also offers 2x HDMI cables, an LED bracket, and a set of screws. Being a classic NUC, it can be mounted using a provided bracket to the back of a monitor, creating an ad hoc all-in-one solution capable of any typical office tasks and some more demanding exercises.

That makes upgrading more challenging for anyone who doesn’t take apart phones and laptops regularly. power adapter, two HDMI cables, a user guide, a bunch of screws, and a VESA mount bracket for attaching the mini PC to the back of a monitor. After shrinking the Windows partition in half and creating a new partition I installed Ubuntu as dual boot using an Ubuntu 22.However, if you want to enjoy the most graphics-intensive titles at higher settings, you will probably be better off with the Beelink GTR6, which rocks an even more powerful AMD Ryzen9-6900HX processor and a 12-core Radeon 680M iGPU. Running at a blazing memory frequency of 3200MHz, this setup ensures snappy performance and smooth multitasking capabilities. On the front panel of the fuselage, there is a red power button, a CMOS clear jack, two USB-A ports, a Type-C port, and a 3. When I was playing an 8K video clip, the CPU utilization was only 1%-2%, while the GPU usage also stayed below 50%. Regarding the 4K video playback experience, as depicted in the image above, my personal testing demonstrated that even when viewing high-definition 4K videos, the Beelink SEi12 performed admirably.

Fully capable of browsing the Internet, Office applications, Zoom meetings, streaming, videos, photo editing, and games.Additionally, the lower section of the SEi12 boasts practical hanging holes, making it easy to mount on a wall-mounted bracket for versatile placement options. From the results read by DXVA Checker, SEi12's Iris Xe EU80 core display can support hard decoding of almost all mainstream video formats to 4K or 8K. The SEi12 scored 1343 in Time Spy, 3686 in Fire Strike, and 12443 in Sky Diver, falling behind the Intel NUC 11 Pro and Beelink’s very own SER5 Pro.
