BeelinkEQ14 Mini PC, Intel Twin Lake N150(Up to 3.6GHz) 16GB DDR4 500GB NVMe SSD, 2.5G Dual LAN Mini Computer Supports WiFi6, BT5.2, USB3.2, 4K@60Hz Dual HDMI Display, Home-Server/Network Firewall

I’m so impressed with this product that I’ve already bought three of them. The main reason I chose it over other Beelink products is its internal PSU, which makes the device and its wires incredibly space-efficient. It operates exceptionally cool and quietly, with barely noticeable fan noise. It comes with a lean Windows 11 Pro that has been debloated, which I highly appreciate. It’s perfect for productivity, media consumption, and light gaming.However, I didn’t purchase this device thrice solely for Windows 11. I’ve installed headless Ubuntu servers on two of them: one as the primary server and the other as a backup. These servers run PiHole, NUT (Network UPS Tool), Plex media, and syslog service. The third one serves as a lab environment, where I test and learn about different Linux operating systems, TrueNAS, Proxmox, and Docker containers, before deploying the same configurations in my production environment / home network.I’ve heard people use this product as a hardware firewall, but I haven’t had the chance to try it out yet. I’ll definitely give it a try someday. Overall, Beelink EQ14 is a highly versatile product that supports a wide range of operating systems and services. It’s incredibly powerful and has made me very happy with my purchase decision.

I bought this product to build a mini server with Ubuntu. To my surprise, it came bundled with Windows 11 Pro even though that wasn’t mentioned in the product description, which I really appreciate especially because it's Pro, not Home. The built-in AC adapter requires only a single cable connection, which helps a lot with saving space and keeping things tidy.

I needed to replace my old Linux dev box with a system that would take up less space. This one fit the bill, and it's working very well. Upon receipt, I wiped Windows 11 off it and installed Ubuntu 24.04. Plugged in an external disk for extra space. NOTE: If using an external disk, make note of the port you plug it into. Not all USB ports are high speed. I'm using the leftmost connector (furthest away from the power connector), and am getting the disk's expected speed (5Gbps).👍 for this system!

I mounted this mini computer on my TV to handle simple tasks like email, video chatting, and smart home management. Compared to the top-of-the-line, same generation, Intel processor in my laptop, it's much slower and less responsive, but considering its price, functionality and small size, it's a great fit. Key features are good port availability, quiet performance, and value. The SSD can be upgraded, but unfortunately you'll be stuck with 16 Gb of RAM.I set up my own Windows account and one other local Admin account to allow my wife to access Outlook under her own credentials. This turned out to be a good ideal. Like most Windows systems, it requires immediate updating. Its modest speed and memory made updating quite lengthy, requiring about a dozen restarts, many of them manual. It was taking so long and not letting me login between reboots, I almost decided it was defective and needed to go back.My perseverance was eventually rewarded. However it still "stuck" at my login window, probably due to some Windows 11 conflict. Fortunately, that second local Admin account allowed me to get in, delete the first Admin account and create another. I was then able to login to Microsoft for both users and finish setup. I can't blame Beelink for this issue and it might not be a problem for you. That said, play it safe by setting up a second local Admin account before you begin the updating process.

Setup this little guy with Ubuntu server and running it headless for Plex media server (hardware transcoding), ActualBudget, Valheim and EXFIL game servers without any issues. Still has plenty of headroom left to run other stuff as well. Very happy with this computer.

Died after 6 months. You have to go to manufacturer for the warranty support. It has been a month and 40 emails back and forth. BeeLink agreed to replace the unit with a brand new one as soon as I shipped it back. had to pay for the shipping to them despite this unit being under warranty. They did not send a replacement and stated that this unit is no longer available in the US despite both the manufacturers site showing that it is available and there are still plenty on the Amazon BeeLink store. Ultimately they stated that they only have a slower unit with a cheaper processor, less memory and older architecture as the only available option of US inventory stock on hand and that they would ship that right away. It has been a month and they still haven't shipped any replacement as of yet. At this point, I do not believe that they are going to send me a replacement and they now have my original unit. So it looks like I am out my purchase price and the return shipping costs and all that Amazon has to offer is for me to deal with the manufacturers support department which has now left me with only lost money and no product.

I have purchased about ten of these system for long term use in project that started with Raspberry Pi's. Much cheaper in the long run with plenty of extra ports to expand on or with.

Very nice little computer. Using it for Autocad and Inkscape. Does a nice job.
