Beelink decides to innovate the mini-PC segment once again with its latest offering, the GTi15 Ultra mini-PC, which integrates Intel's high-performing Arrow Lake CPU.
Beelink's Latest Mini-PC Becomes The First to Offer ARL-H Flagship CPU, Bringing High-End Performance
In the list of mini-PC manufacturers out there, Beelink has one of the most impressive offerings, boasting high-end performance and creativity. We have reviewed several devices from the company, and now, they have decided to launch Intel's first Arrow Lake mini-PC, which not only brings in high-end performance but will give us an idea of how Team Blue's CPUs perform in a segment where power efficiency is a priority. The GTi15 Ultra has been released in China, and a global launch is still not yet confirmed.
Diving into the specifications, the mini-PC offers Intel's Core Ultra 9 285H, which is a power-hungry platform when you consider the mobile chips out there. It features a 16C/16T configuration, with maximum turbo frequency at 5.4 GHz and base TDP at 45W. We have seen this particular processor getting massive adoption from the laptop segment, but the GTi15 Ultra is the first to offer it in the mini-PC market. The GTi15 Ultra is the successor to the GTi14, which boasted the Core Ultra 9 185H SKU, hence the upgrade is indeed a decent one.
For graphical power, the mini-PC relies on the iGPU with Core Ultra 9 285H, which is the Arc 140T with eight Xe-cores and a 2.35 GHz frequency. However, the mini-PC also supports Beelink's external GPU platform, allowing users to put out a high-performing build, if they are willing to slightly compromise on portability by adding in a massive dGPU. For cooling, the GTi15 Ultra has integrated a vapor chamber cooling solution, and considering that the device has a massive 145W PSU onboard, beefing up the cooling performance becomes necessary.
Interestingly, the mini-PC offers 2x 10G RJ45 ports, a unique connectivity option, along with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. You also get a Thunderbolt 4 40Gbps Type-C connection, allowing extensive connectivity in such a compact device.
In terms of pricing, the GTi15 Ultra is listed for CNY 4,699 as a barebone unit, with the pricing going up to CNY 6,299 (~$880) for 64GB/1TB configuration. Global retail availability is uncertain for now; however, the mini-PC should launch sooner this year.
