The Beelink GTi13 Ultra looks premium.
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.
you’ve got the option to also upgrade the storage to 2TB and the RAM to 64 GB.
Our review unit is of the Space Grey model.
In ourCore i9-13900HK review, we gave it high praise for gaming.
you could see thehow the 13900HK compares to the 14900HKfor more details.
The GTi13 Ultra looks like your typical high-end Beelink PC.
Of course, Beelink also sells the dedicated graphics card docking station separately, which costs anadditional $159.
The machine is available in two colors, frost silver and space gray.
We also have two 2.5G ethernet ports.
As always, we’ve got plenty of ports on the back.
The dock supports a maximum of 600W of power, meaning it should support theNVIDIA RTX 4090.
Setting up the dock is pretty straightforward.
The dock is also more than just a graphics card machine.
The PC and dock combo looks pretty good.
The dock is an ingenious idea, and I really love how it looks when the setup is complete.
I hooked it up to myAMD Radeon 7600, and the package looked tidy.
It still takes up less room than a traditional desktop PC while maintaining similar performance.
The PCIe lane runs along the bottom of the device.
I do have one minor gripe with the dock, however.
One solution to this problem would be to simply never turn the dock off.
Additionally, the graphics card you choose to connect will influence how quiet the overall PC is.
The dock is designed to let you connect any full-sized desktop GPU to the GTi13 Ultra.
The mini PC is super quiet on its own, even under heavy load.
I love using this for Windows Hello login.
There are two M.2 SSD slots, one of which will already be occupied.
There’s lots of ports.
In our Geekbench 6 testing, the Beelink GTi13 Ultra was a slight letdown.
It’s a powerful chip that can handle most tasks.
SSD performance is also excellent, with CrystalDiskMark achieving 5195MB/s read and 4742MB/s write speeds.

The same can’t be said for the integrated graphics, which are mediocre and disappointing.
That includes the new high-end NVIDIA RTX graphics cards.
Beelink GTi13 Ultra: Should you buy it?

You need a mini PC that’s both powerful yet quiet.
You want a mini PC that can competently game with your own dGPU.
You should not buy this if …
You don’t foresee ever needing a dGPU.

You have limited space on your desk.
You want a PC that is more energy efficient.
The Beelink GTi13 Ultra is a workhorse mini PC.

In this case, any task that requires graphics performance.
The integration between the mini PC and dock could be better.
The Dock itself isn’t that expensive either, at just $159.

It also doubles as an expandable storage bay for an additional M.2 drive.
Can’t argue with a good looking mini PC.
