The Beelink GTi14 Ultra, the latest addition to the company’s mini-PC lineup, has launched featuring Intel Core Ultra 7 and 9 models housed in a sleek, modern design. Additionally, it includes a full-size PCIe connector that supports external GPUs.

As mentioned above, the GTi14 Ultra can be purchased with either a Core Ultra 7 155H or a Core Ultra 9 185H. Both models come with 32GB of SODIMM RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD, with a total of two M.2 slots.
GTi14 Ultra’s design
From the beginning the experience with the Beelink GTi14 Ultra is clean, opening the box we are greeted with the GTi14 Ultra with the usual paperwork, power cable, and a HDMI cable hiding underneath.
The GTi14 takes on a similar look to Apple’s Mac Mini series of computers with the addition of the Beelink logo on top and what feels like a slightly lower quality finish. This can be seen in the rough finish in some of the front IO ports.
GTi14 Ultra’s IO
The front of the GTi14 Ultra features a power button with an inbuilt fingerprint scanner, a power LED, a 3.5-millimetre combo audio jack, a 10 gigabit per second USB-C port, a full-size SD card reader, and a USB-A 3.2 port which is also rated for 10 gigabit per second. Along the top of the front there is also a four-microphone array.
The rear features a power connector, for the internal power supply, a second 3.5-millimetre combo audio jack, a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, a HDMI and Display port, two 2.5 gigabit LAN connections, and four more USB-A 3.2 10 gigabit per second ports. Bringing the total USB ports to seven. Above the ports, spanning the length of the rear is the exhaust for the cooling system.
GTi14 Ultra’s PCIe Gen 5 slot
Now for the most interesting feature. On the bottom of the GTi14 Ultra is a PCIe Gen 5 slot, that does work with 3rd party riser cables but is unable to supply the required power through the PCIe slot itself. Instead, users will have to wait until the company releases its GPU dock in the coming months to get the full performance benefit of an discrete GPU.
