Give the Beelink MINI S12 a burl and you'll find it's a ripper mini PC, matey.
With an Intel N100 chip manufactured in 10 nm, this little ripper delivers solid performance without chewing up too much juice.
It's a top choice for desktop use, and with two HDMI 2.1 video outputs that support [email protected] and a Gigabit Ethernet port for speedy file transfers, you won't be left in the lurch.
The Beelink MINI S12 looks grouse on any desk, and you can even hang it from its VESA support behind your monitor if you're short on space.
It comes with a 256 GB NVMe disk as standard, and while it's not lightning-fast, you can add a 2.5" SATA 3 disk to boost storage. Plus, there's a single SODIMM slot that lets you expand the RAM up to 16 GB.
This little beauty comes with Windows 11 pre-installed, so you can hit the ground running and browse, stream, or work with ease.
And the cooling system is tops, with a quiet internal fan that keeps performance humming along smoothly.
Sure, you might hear a bit of fan noise during games, but it won't throw a spanner in the works.
All in all, the Beelink MINI S12 is a fair dinkum mini PC that's quiet, efficient, and perfect for browsing, streaming, or working on everyday tasks at home.

Intel’s Alder Lake-N line of processors are low-cost, low-power chips designed for entry-level PC systems. Many PC makers showcased new products powered by Alder Lake-N processors at CES 2023. Beelink, one of the major players in the mini PC industry, has finally announced their first product to feature the Alder Lake N-series prcoesser：the Mini S12.
The Mini S12 is a 4.25" x 4.01" x 1.54" (115mm*102mm*39mm) small form factor desktop PC powered by the Alder Lake N95 processor, and 8/16GB DDR4-3200 RAM. The mini PC employs a plastic chassis enhanced by deep laser engraving, making it ressistant to scratches. The pattern on the top side also gives the device a rather interesting look.
The Intel Alder Lake-N95 SoC has 4 CPU cores, 4 threads with turbo clock of 3.4GHz, and 6MB L3 smart cache. It is said to deliver over 20% of performance improvement over the Intel Jasper Lake N5105 CPU. While the the processor has a standard TDP of 15W, Beelink will do some re-engineering to improve the TDP of the Mini S12 to 20W.
The Mini S12 features a single SODIMM slot, which supports DDR4-3200MHz RAM of up to 16GB. It also comes with an M.2 2280 slot for PCIe/SATA3 SSD storage (up to 2TB), and a SATA3 interface for a 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD (up to 2TB).
Compared to the Mini S mini PC released last year, another upgrade is the cooling mechanism. The Mini S12 sports a large silent CPU fan, a copper heat sink and a dedicated SSD cooling shield, ensuring it to run stably at 20W.
Other features include support for WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2 and a set of ports:
1 x Gigabit Ethernet
2 x HDMI 2.0
4 x USB3.2 Type-A
1 x 3.5mm audio
1 x DC power input
The mini PC will be able to drive two 4K/60Hz displays simultaneously. Detailed specifications can be found below.
The Mini S12 will be available for purchase on 10th of Feburary, but Beelink hasn't revealed the price yet.

The iKOOLCORE R1 is the tiniest mini PC ever to feature 4 x 2.5Gbps Ethernet jacks, and it is now open for pre-order worldwide, with prices starting at $199.
Product overview
This tiny desktop PC measures 75*75*48mm (0.27L), small enough to fit into a pocket, or mount to the back of a monitor, or hide under a desk. If you decide to place the mini PC on the desk, its CNC Aluminum chassis should give it a pretty premium look.
As small as it is, the iKOOLCORE R1 packs plenty of ports, including:
4 x 2.5Gbps Ethernet jacks
1 x USB3.2 Gen1 Type-C
2 x USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A
1 x USB-C (Power input)
1 x HDMI2.0 (4K/60Hz video output)
1 x MicroSD card slot
Specifications
The iKOOLCORE R1 is available in two SoC options:
1) Intel Celeron N5105, 10W TDP, 4 CPU cores, 4 threads @2.0-2.9GHz, 4MB L3 Cache, UHD Graphics EU24
2) Intel Pentium N6005, 10W TDP, 4 CPU cores, 4 threads @2.0-3.3GHz, 4MB L3 Cache, UHD Graphics EU32
The mini PC also comes with either 8GB single-channel or 16GB dual-channel LPDDR4-4233 MHz on-board RAM, and features an M.2 2242 slot for a PCIe-based NVMe SSD. Unfortunately, the RAM will only run at 2933MHz, due to the limit of the Jasper Lake series processors.
For a computer this small, it’s easy for people to assume that it employs a fanless design, but the iKOOLCORE R1 does not. Not only does the mini PC use a copper heat pipe and the Aluminum chassis to passively dissipate heat, but it also feature a ball-bearing silent fan under the hood for active cooling.
SoftwareThe quad 2.5Gbps Ethernet jacks make it clear that the mini PC is designed for networking applications. You can use it as a router, firewall, or a home server, among other things. Since the mini PC is built around an x86 processor, it can support a wide range of operating systems including Windows 10/11, Android X86, and most Linux distributions. It can also run routing software such as pfSense, OPNSense and OpenWRT. The R1 also supports the virtualization technology, and is compatible with VMware ESXi, PVE, Docker applications, as well as other virtual platform systems.
Price and availabilityThe iKOOLCORE R1 is now open for pre-order worldwide, the prices are as follows.

Check this out,
Beelink SER5 PLUS 5800H is packing some serious punch! This little beauty comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, made with the fancy 7nm FinFET technology.It's got eight cores, sixteen threads, and can run between 3.2 and 4.0 GHz, which is pretty zippy if you ask me. The TDP is 35-54 W, which sounds like a lot, but hey, no pain no gain, am I right?
If you're a gamer, you'll be happy to know that the Radeon Vega 8 GPU will let you play some not-too-crazy titles, as long as you use the right settings.
Plus, you can get this little guy with either 16 or 32 GB of RAM, installed in the two SODIMM slots. And for storage, there's a 500 GB M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD and space for a 2.5-inch storage unit with SATA3 interface.
But wait, there's more!
The Beelink SER5 PLUS 5800H has an internal M.2 card installed with Wifi 6E + Bluetooth 5.2 and a 1000MBPS Ethernet port, so you're all set in the connectivity department.
There are three USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and video outputs USB Type-C 3.2, HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.2, all with the ability to handle [email protected]
That's pretty sweet, huh?
Last but not least, this bad boy comes with Windows 11 installed by default, but you can throw Linux on there if you prefer.
It's got a cute little external power supply and VESA support, so you can hang it behind your monitor like a champ.
All in all, this computer is a real ripper rita.
