I tested the Beelink EQi Wildcat Lake and the ultra-fast networking makes this mini PC a great office machine

The EQi is highly tuned to an office environment, and when connected to my 10GbE network, it felt right at home. The design is a little lacklustre, but when opening Microsoft Office, Lightroom, and browsing the internet, the speed was surprisingly sharp. The internal storage is a little slow; however, popping in a Crucial T710, although over-spec’d for the machine, quickly sped up file transfers. While the graphics are weak for games and creative applications, the strength of this machine comes in day-to-day office work, where it excels.

Pros

  • +Fast wired networking
  • +Nearly silent operation
  • +Triple display support

Cons

  • -Limited graphics power
  • -Restricted M.2 second slot
  • -Plasticky case finish
