Beelink EQ13 (N100 / N200)
The EQ13 is the 2024 follow-up to the EQ12: a small Alder Lake-N box with two Ethernet ports, offered with the 4-core N100 or the faster-boosting N200. The biggest change is a built-in 85 W power supply, so it runs from a plain AC cord instead of an external brick. Storage changed too: one NVMe slot at PCIe 3.0 x4 and a second NVMe slot at PCIe 3.0 x1, but the EQ12's 2.5-inch bay is gone. Beelink also swapped the EQ12's two 2.5 GbE ports for two gigabit ports, which matters if you wanted it as a multi-gig router. Memory is one DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM, single channel, shipped as 16 GB. It suits Home Assistant, Frigate, network services or a light Plex server.

Check before you buy
- Check whether it's the N100 or N200 version; the N200 boosts higher and has a larger GPU.
- Its two Ethernet ports are gigabit, not 2.5 GbE like the EQ12's; buy the EQ12 if you need multi-gig.
- There's no 2.5-inch bay; the second drive goes in the PCIe 3.0 x1 M.2 slot.
- Memory is one SO-DIMM, single channel; a second stick can't be added.
- There's no brick to lose, but make sure the AC power cord fits your outlet type if the unit came from overseas.
General off-lease checks (BIOS passwords, Computrace, missing drive caddies) are in the used mini PC buying checklist.
