Beelink EQR6 6900HX 24GB 1TB Teardown

Synthetic performance numbers of EQR6 6900HX vs SER6 6900HX and several other machines:

The EQR6 is a very low budget imitation of the success of the SER8 design and implementing the internal power supply idea from the GTi14 Ultra. It is a relatively quiet and easy mini pc to use out of the box because of the limited 35W TDP and 85C max temp but because of the 85W power supply, I could not get the mini pc to run stable at 54W to compete with the SER6. This relegates the EQR6 to being limited as a low noise office PC instead of the higher performance and jack of all trades the SER6 can perform as.

I suspect because of the lower 35W TDP that processors like the 6600H and 1220P would be less handicapped and much better suited for this kind of setup.

I would have really liked to see USB4 or hdmi 2.1 but the EQR6 is setting its price agressively low by stripping out these features that not everyone will use.

The actual engineering inside has various form over function characteristics but the assembly looks pretty good for such a compact computer. This seems like a suitable option for maybe an office desk at my work just because the very tame plastic and grey color blends in and I do not have to worry about an end user complaining about fan noise.
