Beelink Mini S13: skip the 12 GB LPDDR5 listing
The S12 Pro vs S13 note already says confirm the LAN. This is the RAM trap on the same name. Two Amazon Mini S13 cards. The one that is actually in stock solders 12 GB LPDDR5 and wants $329. Skip that for Proxmox. Wait for a 16 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM 2.5G card, or buy G3 Plus once the 16 GB ASIN is live.
Both cards say Intel N150 (4C/4T, 3.6 GHz burst), dual HDMI 4K60, Wi-Fi 6, BT 5.2, one 2.5G RJ-45. The listing copy calls it “13th Gen Alder Lake-N150.” Twin Lake N150 is the N100 refresh; print the CPU string, not the marketing generation. Single NIC. VESA palm box, about 4.52 × 4.01 × 1.54 in on the LPDDR5 card. Not dual LAN. Not a 4-port appliance.
Amazon B0BTBPC6TY, 23 Aug 2026: $329.00, in stock. Title and bullets: 12 GB LPDDR5, 512 GB SATA3 SSD, 2.5G LAN, 4× USB 3.2 Gen2, 25 W max load. Soldered RAM. That is the live buy button.
Amazon B0GKZZWGJV: 16 GB single-channel DDR4, 1 TB M.2, extra PCIe 3.0 slot in the bullets, 2.5G LAN. First on-page price printed $349.00. Buy box on fetch: currently unavailable. Do not treat $349 as a cart you can click. Older S13 ASINs in the vs note (B0D7GD7SLW, B0D5QXTFHH) are a different day’s cards — print whatever is live.
The short list
| Box | What it is | Street, 23 Aug 2026 | Buy if |
|---|---|---|---|
Mini S13 16 GB DDR4 B0GKZZWGJV | N150, 16 GB DDR4, 1 TB M.2, 2.5G LAN. SO-DIMM class. Extra PCIe slot in the bullets. | Printed $349. Currently unavailable on fetch. Print the live tag. | It is in stock, the RAM line still says DDR4 16 GB, and the NIC still says 2.5G. |
Mini S13 12 GB LPDDR5 B0BTBPC6TY | Same N150 palm box. 12 GB soldered LPDDR5, 512 GB SATA SSD, 2.5G LAN. | $329.00, in stock on fetch. | Never for a closet node. 12 GB soldered is the ceiling. See RAM ceiling. |
| GMKtec G3 Plus / EQ14 | Other single-box N150s. G3 Plus is one 2.5G. EQ14 is dual LAN if the ASIN is true. | See those notes. Skip 8 GB G3 Plus configs. | The 16 GB S13 is still OOS and you will not click the 12 GB card. |
Skip
Skip B0BTBPC6TY because it is cheaper today. Soldered 12 GB is why. Skip assuming every Mini S13 is 16 GB DDR4. Skip the “13th Gen Alder Lake” line. Skip dual-LAN duty — that is EQ14 or EQ12. Skip eBay lots. We have not sat with a unit.
