Beelink GTi12 Ultra Mini-PC + EX Dock (Intel Core i9-12900H) Review
Source: Tech Power Up added 13th Nov 2024
Introduction
A big thank you to Beelink for supplying the review sample.
Beelink is well on its way to being a mainstream option in the mini-PC market for PC enthusiasts. Formed in 2011, Beelink has managed to adapt to the needs of both small businesses and enterprises alongside regular consumers, delivering high-quality systems to fit numerous use cases. All of this has culminated in their continued growth, and should things continue as they are, brand awareness should remain on the rise.
In this mini-PC review you will get a chance to see something downright innovative thanks to Beelink. The GTi12 Ultra is one of their newer systems and comes equipped with an Intel Core i9-12900H, 32 GB of memory, and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, none of which is anything new. What is new is the built-in PCIe x16 slot (electrically x8) that works with their EX Dock which is also being tested in this review. This dock offers the ability to install an extra M.2 SSD or high performance Wi-Fi module along with a dedicated graphics card, giving this tiny system the ability to function like a proper high-end desktop without the massive footprint. While there are some limitations, this combo from Beelink is certainly interesting and I can’t wait to see what it can do, so let’s take a closer look before diving into the benchmarks.
