Beelink GTI12 Ultra EX Docking Station mini PC review: More affordable than expected

[Redaktion]

Mini PC eGPU docking stations were both uncommon and pricey just a few years ago, but the Beelink EX dock is one of the least expensive options thus far without needing to sacrifice features or quality along the way.

Fun contraption that allows you to pick some parts, namely the GPU, but the claim "Gaming-ready mini PC and eGPU for under $1000 USD" excludes the price of the GPU you need to purchase to make use of the eGPU dock (because that's the whole point). Let's not forget a display, which you may already have, but still.

With a half-decent graphics card purchase, you're in gaming notebook territory without a screen, battery, or portability.

Honest question, does this setup offer any advantage?
