- Beelink GTI15 Ultra offers steam cooling in a barely bigger chassis than a pocket novel
- A digital fingerprint reader and dual ports of 10gbe are rare findings on any mini pc
- GPU external support solves a problem and creates another three in terms of cost and footprint
Beelink’s ultra mini GTI15 has been launched with characteristics more commonly associated with full size desks.
The most prominent elements include Dual Ethernet LAN ports of 10 GB, a digital fingerprint reader and support for external graphics, additions that suggest that it is built for users who require more than navigating or reproduction of casual media, especially those who seek to reduce size without yielding specific performance advantages.
In comparison with its predecessor, the GTI14, the new GTI15 Ultra brings an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor, but the unprojured CPU performance gain is modest, approximately 11%, based on internal reference points.
Marginal CPU Profits, Citid GPU Contrast
Beelink’s GTI15 Ultra does not emerge in a vacuum; It is the next step in a mini PC lineage that has gradually pushed the envelope.
Previous models such as the GTI12 Ultra and GTI14 Ultra Ultra pioneer were the inclusion of a PCIE X8 expansion slot for the owner of Beelink, pointing to users who wanted a compact factor but still needed the option of a desktop class GPU.
However, the largest change is found in the integrated ARC graphics 140T, which replaces the 8 -core arc IGPU of the previous model.
Despite the brand, this change may not result in a significant leap for heavy GPU tasks.
The option to connect Beelink’s own external GPU spring certainly offers more flexibility, but not without additional costs of costs and space.
With up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory and a 145W supply source, the GTI15 Ultra is presented as a serious machine for demanding users.
The dual ports of 10gbe point to a network edge that could attract professional niche workflows, which makes it viable as a commercial PC, but in most work environments, this bandwidth far exceeds real requirements.
The same goes for the cooling of the steam chamber, which can help thermal, but it feels more as a point of conversation than a need in the typical scenarios of the office.
Starting in approximately $ 655 in shape and escalation at almost $ 880 when it was configured with 64 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, this mini PC lands in the territory of prices occupied by desks and portable computers capable.
While the attractiveness of an elegant video editing PC in such a small footprint is understandable, the commitments remain, especially when the limited internal GPU is taken into account and the dependence of the external docks for the complete performance of the graphics.
