Beelink EQi Wildcat Lake review: Ultra-fast networking makes this mini PC a great office machine
The Beelink EQi is a compact Windows 11 Pro mini PC aimed at those looking for an office machine with decent network connection and fast connectivity.
The Beelink EQi Wildcat Lake is an ideal office machine with surprising connectivity for its price. This small mini PC, measuring 126mm-square, features a 2.5GbE LAN port and an even more impressive 10GbE port on the back. These ports, alongside two Thunderbolt 4 ports at 40 Gbps, HDMI 2.0, and triple-display support, make the EQi well-suited for integration into an office or studio environment.
The machine is designed to be quiet and efficient, with an 85W power supply built into the chassis, eliminating the need for a separate power brick. With a sleek dark grey ABS enclosure and a well-organized interior, the EQi offers a balance of features that exceeds initial expectations. While the design may not be flashy, it is practical and functional.
The machine is equipped with Intel's Core 3 304 processor, which provides excellent performance for tasks such as browsing the internet, using office software, and playing media. However, it may struggle with demanding graphic-intensive tasks. Storage options include two M.2 slots, supporting different lane counts, and a choice of up to 4TB.
The EQi comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro and is priced at $509, available directly from Beelink and various retailers.
