2026 verdict
For a quiet, low-power mini PC that mostly runs office work, media and small always-on services, the Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB) is the better buy of this pair of Beelink boxes.
It wins on price and on the better owner rating, and it is the one that drives two monitors through its dual HDMI outputs. What the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) adds is networking and expansion: a second 2.5G Ethernet port and a free M.2 slot that turn it into a plausible router, firewall or small home server, plus an included wall bracket and a lock slot. Both share 16GB of single-channel DDR4, a 500GB drive and a three-year warranty. Pick the Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB) for value and a two-screen desk, and the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) if you need the extra network port or a second SSD.

What the differences mean
Network ports
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) has two 2.5G Ethernet ports, so it can sit between a modem and a network as a router, firewall or server appliance, while the Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB) has a single 2.5G port.
Video outputs
The Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB) keeps two HDMI outputs and drives two 4K monitors. On the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) the second Ethernet port takes the place of the second HDMI, so it drives one screen.
Storage expansion
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) adds a second M.2 PCIe 3.0 slot, so capacity can grow without replacing the boot drive. The Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB) leaves room only for the 500GB drive it ships with.
Mounting and security
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) includes a wall bracket and a lock slot, so it can hang behind a monitor and be cabled down. The Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB) has neither in the box.
Processor
Both use a four-core low-power Intel chip, the N150 in the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 16GB + 500GB) being a slightly newer, slightly quicker part than the N100 in the Beelink Mini S12 Pro (N100 16GB + 500GB). Neither is built for heavy work or gaming.
