Beelink was established in 2011 & is regarded as one of the top sellers in the Mini PC category at Amazon. The company has a diverse portfolio of Mini PCs, Players, and gadgets, but the core focus is on the Mini PC segment, which includes both Intel and AMD options.
While we have looked at several of Beelink's Mini PC options in the past, ranging from AMD & Intel CPUs, the company has introduced a new Intel model recently, the SEi13 Pro, which features the Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU along with strong specifications. The Mini PC also has some exclusive features, and comes in at less than $550 US, making it a strongly positioned Mini PC offering. So let's take a look at what the SEi13 Pro from Beelink has to offer.
Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC - Specifications At A Glance
The Beelink SEi13 Pro is a compact yet powerful Mini PC that comes equipped with the Intel Core i9-13900HK. Our unit was the fully decked out variant with two LPDDR5-6000 32 GB (16 GB x2) soldered memory and a 1 TB PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 M.2 drive. The memory configuration is a big difference from the Geekom IT13 2025, which we tested earlier. That Mini PC features SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 modules, so while users are restricted in terms of capacity on the SEi13 Pro, they are getting better memory speeds.
Coming to the specifications, the Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC rocks the Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU, which features 14 cores and 20 threads in a 6+8 configuration, 24 MB of L3 cache, and a boost clock of up to 5.40 GHz. The CPU has a base TDP of 45W and a maximum turbo power of up to 115W. The HK can also be overclocked.
For the GPU, the Intel Core i9-13900HK is packing an Intel Iris Xe iGPU, which features a total of 96 EUs and clocks up to 1.5 GHz. The iGPU is a bit old by today's standards, as Intel itself has moved to the newer Arc series, which comes with XeSS support and faster graphics capabilities. But it is still enough for low-level graphics workloads.
Other specs for the Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC include 32 GB LPDDR5-6000 (Dual-Channel) memory. These are soldered memory, and Beelink currently offers just 32 GB configurations. Storage comes in the form of one M.2 2280 (Gen4x4) slot that supports up to 8 TB capacities, and an additional M.2 2280 PCIe 4x4 slot, which can also support up to 8 TB capacity. Once again, the Geekom IT13 PRO offers 1x M.2 4.0x4, 1x SATA SSD, and 1x 2.5" slot. Beelink offering dual 2280 M.2 slots with Gen4x4 functionality is going to be the superior option.
I/O on the Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC includes five USB 3.2 10 Gbps (2x Type-C + 3x Type-A) ports, one USB 2.0 port, two HDMI 2.0 ports, two 3.5mm headphone jacks, HDMI+DP1.4 ports, a 2.5 GbE LAN port, a CLR CMOS pinout, the power button, and a Microphone Array on the front with 360-degree omnidirectional pickup. The following are the main features of the Mini PC:
- Powerful Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. The hybrid CPU architecture, featuring performance and efficiency cores, enables smart task scheduling across applications, delivering flawless multitasking and effortless transitions.
- Voice Interaction & 360° Omnidirectional Pickup-The Built-in microphone is enhanced by the B1 AI chip with smart audio pickup and noise reduction, supporting intelligent recognition of human voice within a 5-meter radius, reproducing crystal-clear vocals and removing background noise in real time, allowing you to have seamless interactions with mainstream AI large models!
- Built-in Speakers -The built-in dual speakers are enhanced by DSP and a professional amplifier, delivering high-volume sound and realistic vocals. No need for an external audio device—the SEi13 Pro can offer you an immersive listening experience all on its own.
- 32dB Near-Silent Operation-Air intake from the bottom is so efficient at dissipating the heat that SEi13 Pro needs very low fan speed to stay cool and stable, ensuring near-silent operation. Since there are no vents on the top and side panels, SEi13 Pro can now have a more refreshing design.
- Storage Expansion Optional-Featuring 32GB LPDDR5 DRAM from world-renowned brand Micron, the SEi13 Pro delivers smoother system operation, faster software launches, and enhanced multitasking capabilities. This mini PC also features an SSD from Crucial. The dual SSD slots support up to 8TB of storage expansion, enabling lightning-fast data transfer speeds and exceptional storage capacity for all your files.
- Ultra-Practical Dustproof Design-High-Density Metal filter at the bottom ensures optimal airflow, keeping dust out of the SEi13 Pro. No more internal dust accumulation, no more dust-related malfunction.
- Triple-display Output-HDMI 4k 60Hz & DisplayPort 1.4 4k 144Hz & USB-C (rear) port, supports triple displays.
Beelink SEi13 Pro PC - Unboxing & A Closer Look
The Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC comes in a white colored cardboard package, which has a simplistic look.
The back of the box has some basic specifications that list the specific configuration for this model. We got the Intel Core i9-13900HK variant with 32 GB of memory and 1 TB storage capacity.
Within the box, you are first greeted with a nice "Thank You" card. Little things like these make for a fun unboxing experience.
Lifting the top box cover, you are welcomed by a soft plastic internal in which the PC and its various accessories are kept safe and away from harm. Before talking about the case itself, we have to mention the accessories that come with the Mini PC. It comes with a Power cord and a manual.
The Mini PC comes with a HuntKey "HKA12019063-6BA" power adapter, which offers up to 120.08W of power and has a standard input of 100-240V at 60/50Hz (2.0A).
So, looking at the PC, you are met with a gorgeous and perfect square-shaped chassis that comes with a beautiful grey color scheme with a metallic Silver "Beelink" logo in the center. The curved edges and the aluminum + shiny exterior have a very premium feel. You can get the PC in two color schemes, the Space Gray version that we got, or a Frost Silver color, which has a whiter hue.
The top and sides are fully enclosed except for the rear and bottom of the chassis, which have vents to push hot air out of the unit that is dissipated by the cooling solution.
The front I/O on the Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC comes with two USB 3.2 10 Gbps ports (Type-A + Type-C), a 3.5mm audio jack, a power button, a CMOS clear cutout, and four small microphone arrays on the top of the ports.
The back I/O of the Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC comes with a single 2.5GbE Ethernet LAN port, HDMI and DP outputs, 1 USB 2 Type-C 10 Gbps port & three USB Type-A ports (2x USB 3.2 + 1x USB 2.0), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the DC in power port.
The back side has large vents that push air out of the chassis.
That's about it as far as the outside goes, but overall, the looks and feel are very premium of the SEi13 Pro Mini PC. Our test unit came with 32 GB of LPDDR5-6000 memory and 1 TB of Gen4 NVMeSSD. This is the maximum config you can get from Beelink, but it still leaves room for expansion of up to 8 TB M.2 capacities for the storage.
The interiors of the Mini PC can be accessed by removing four screws at the bottom which are hidden underneath four rubber pads. Once inside, you will notice a large metal dust filter over the two major components, the speakers and the power supply.
The speakers within the SEi13 Pro are big and offer really good sound quality. The Mini PC also features a built-in microphone, which is powered by the B1 AI chip for effective noise recognition and noise reduction. This is why there are four microphone ports on the front. You can use the PC as an assistant just like Siri.
The Beelink SEi13 Pro Mini PC measures 135x135x44.7mm (W/L/H). The PC also comes with a strong cooling solution in the form of Beelink's MSC 2.0 design, which includes a vapor chamber on the Intel Core i9-13900HK and a large blade fan that keeps the internals cool. The SSDs are also featured under a dedicated heatsink.

Conclusion - Tiny Yet Strong Productivity Powerhouse Under $550
Beelink's SEi13 PRO is a strong Mini PC solution for under $550 US. It features the Intel Core i9-13900HK CPU, which is great for productivity and overkill for office use. The CPU with its 14 cores running at up to 5.4 GHz offers a lot of punch, while the cooling capabilities of Beelink's cooling solution make sure that the PC runs stable around 60-70 °C under full load.
The Beelink SEi13 Pro design is once again great out of the box, featuring that perfect square shape with rounded edges and a nice silver aesthetic. The internals are just as good with strong-sounding speakers, dual SSD support, and an internal cooling solution that does the job well while keeping quiet. One thing that users might miss on the SEi13 is the RAM upgradability option which means you will be stuck with the DRAM configurations that Beelink has to offer and those currently only go up to 32 GB but this is a faster LPDDR5 which is a tad bit faster than the DDR4-3200 and DDR5-5200 solution you get on similar options from other manufacturers.
On the IO side, the lack of USB4 or TB4 ports is quite evident, as there's only one. We hope to see more of those options in upgraded designs, but the feature set is still very nice. But there's a good mix of USB 3.2 Type-A and Type-C ports, WIFI6 and 2.5GbE LAN is also decent, while the added Microphone array makes for an interesting Windows Hello login option. This is also useful for meetings.
Once again, in terms of price, the Beelink SEi13 PRO can be purchased for $524 US, making it a strong Mini PC option to consider in the $500 US range. With its strong performance, great feature set, and design, the SEi13 PRO is an awesome productivity companion for you.
