Beelink EQI13 PRO

The Beelink EQI13 PRO pairs a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-13620H with an aluminum chassis and an 85W power supply built into the case, so a standard AC cord runs to the back of the unit and no brick sits on the desk. The stock build ships with 32GB of DDR4 and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Two HDMI outputs and two Gigabit Ethernet ports cover the wired side.

A built-in power supply in a five-inch aluminum box

The aluminum chassis measures 4.96 x 4.96 x 1.74 inches and weighs about 2 pounds, and Beelink sells it in Space Gray and Frost Silver with a minimalist look that borrows from the Mac Mini. The front panel carries a 3.5mm combo audio jack, a USB-C port (10Gbps data only), and a USB 3.2 port. The rest of the ports and the standard AC power input sit on the back.

The Intel Core i7-13620H runs 10 cores and 16 threads and boosts up to 4.9GHz. CNX Software, testing the lower i5-13500H variant, measured a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of about 10,600 points, a tier that covers software development, light video editing, running virtual machines, and heavy multitasking. The Intel UHD integrated graphics handle 4K video playback smoothly, but not modern games.

Two HDMI 2.0 ports drive two 4K displays at 60Hz, and the two Gigabit Ethernet ports can run as redundant links or be aggregated. Four USB 3.2 ports at 10Gbps and one USB 2.0 port fill out the wired side, with WiFi 6 (Intel AX200) and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless. The USB-C port carries no DisplayPort Alt Mode, so the two HDMI outputs are the only way to attach a display. Both M.2 2280 slots run PCIe 4.0 x4 and take up to 4TB each, and the two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots accept 64GB.

Reviewer Insights

TechPowerUp on desk clutter and awkward upgrades

TechPowerUp praised the EQI13 PRO for quiet, capable productivity work and highlighted the built-in power supply as a feature that “helps cut down on desk clutter.” They noted that the clean aluminum chassis suits home office setups, but pointed out that “the interior layout makes upgrades tricky” and that the Intel UHD iGPU model “isn’t meant for gaming.” They concluded: “If you want a quiet, capable Mini-PC for work, streaming, and general use, it delivers.”

WCCFTech on the Recommended Award and value

WCCFTech gave the EQI13 PRO their Recommended Award, and called it a mid-tier productivity machine at its roughly $450 price point. The review emphasized the strong multi-threaded CPU performance and efficient thermal management through Beelink’s MSC 2.0 cooling system. They appreciated the upgradeable memory and storage options, along with the dual monitor capability via dual HDMI ports. Their main criticism was the Intel UHD iGPU’s limited gaming capability compared to AMD alternatives with Radeon graphics, such as the Beelink SER7.

CNX Software on benchmarks and idle power

CNX Software tested the i5 variant, and its findings on the chassis, cooling, and features apply to the i7 model as well. It measured fan noise ranging from 39.4-40.1 dBA at idle to 41.4-45.7 dBA under load. The review praised the USB port performance, which fully met specifications, and the strong network performance (full Gigabit Ethernet throughput and 1.52 Gbps over WiFi). Its main concern was the relatively high idle power consumption of 11-12 watts compared to some competitors under 10 watts.

A clutter-free desktop for productivity work

Quiet running and a tidy desk are the draw here, and the power supply hidden inside the case does most of that work. The i7-13620H has the core count for professional workloads, and the 64GB memory ceiling plus the empty second M.2 slot mean the machine can be extended instead of replaced. TechPowerUp found that “the interior layout makes upgrades tricky.”

Intel UHD graphics cover video playback and little else, so an AMD-based box such as the Beelink SER8 is the better buy for gaming. The display ceiling is two screens because the USB-C port is 10Gbps data only, and with no USB4 or Thunderbolt there is no faster port to fall back on. There are also no VESA holes for hanging the unit behind a monitor.
