Beelink EQ13 N200: dual 1G, not EQ14, not 2.5G

Amazon titles slap EQ13 onto EQ14 N150 boxes. The real EQ13 is Intel N200, dual gigabit Realtek, internal PSU, 16 GB DDR4 ceiling. Buy EQ12 for dual 2.5G. Buy EQ14 only after you read the NIC.

N200 is a 4-core / 4-thread Alder Lake-N part, 3.7 GHz turbo, UHD 32 EU. Independent benches call it about 5% over N100, not the N150 bump. Dual LAN on this chassis is Realtek RTL8111H 1G, not I226-V. One DDR4 SO-DIMM, official max 16 GB. Dual M.2 PCIe 3.0: one x4, one x1. Internal PSU, IEC cord, no wall brick — that is the actual reason versus a Mini S12. Typical shipped config is 16 GB / 500 GB. Dual HDMI 4K, Wi-Fi 6, BT 5.2.

The maker EQ13 URL currently redirects to EQR5. Treat Amazon titles as hostile. Mini PC Guides still prints about $240 for a 16 GB / 512 GB class config. Live US 16G / 500G cards on 23 Aug 2026: Amazon B0D5MGVFCL and B0D5Y63XYD. Print the tag on the page. Ignore third-party Newegg cards at $999.

Skip

Skip any “EQ13” click that describes N150 — that is EQ14 bait. One Amazon search hit (B0C339KVH9) needs the title re-checked before anyone calls it EQ13. Skip EQ13 if you wanted 2.5G; that is EQ12. Skip it if you wanted N150; that is EQ14 after you read the NIC. Skip 8 GB configs. Skip Newegg cards that title N100 on an EQ13 slug, or print $999 from a third-party seller. This is not a 4-NIC firewall — see Protectli VP2430e. Listing roulette: N150 Amazon traps.
