I’ve been using the Beelink EQR6 for the last three weeks, and this is my review.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Beelink.
The company had no input and did not see the contents of this review prior to publication.
The front I/O on Beelink’s EQR6.
The EQR6 has seven different configuration options, which include different CPUs, RAM, and storage options.
It’s super quiet, lightweight, and small on the desk.
Unlike many other mini PCs, air vents for dissipating heat are hidden quite well.
These are positioned alongside a power button and an LED light to indicate when the gear is on.
The power button itself is small but tactile, providing a satisfying “click” sensation when pressed.
This bottom panel can also be removed to gain access to some upgradable components.
The top looks pretty clean.
The panel is held on by four screws which are hidden by rubber seals that can be easily removed.
If you’re not, don’t worry, as you’re not required to use both.
The EQR6’s dual HDMI 2.0 ports also allow for outputting up to 4K 60Hz to external monitors.
The underside features rubber feet and vent holes.
Sadly, the front USB-C port cannot be used for display purposes, only data transfer.
I also think the single USB-C port on the front isn’t enough.
I would have preferred at least one more USB-C port on the back of the PC, too.
The backside is full of ports!
Moving onto software, Beelink is very good at shippinga clean Windows imageon these devices.
The EQR6 ships withWindows 11 Pro, which automatically activates when you connect to the internet.
There is no product key in the box.
I do wish there was an additional USB-C port on the back though.

Beelink EQR6: Performance
In regards to raw performance, the Beelink EQR6 doesn’t disappoint.
TheRyzen 9 6900HXinside is a powerhouse when it comes to productivity-based tasks.
Upgrading RAM and storage is super easy.
It’s a perfectly capable chip, trading blows with theIntel Core Ultra 7 155Hcommonly found inhigh-end Ultrabooks.
It also beats out theBeelink SER5 Pro.
In the GPU department, the Radeon 680M doesn’t disappoint either.
There are just four screws to remove to gain access to the insides.
It also doesn’t get alarmingly hot, which explains why you pretty much never hear the fans.
Overall, the performance of the Beelink EQR6 is excellent for the price you pay.

Dual LAN ports are handy for a number of reasons!
