Beelink GTi15 Ultra Review: Can This Mini PC Replace Your Desktop?
Can a mini PC actually replace your desktop? The Beelink GTi15 Ultra makes a serious argument that yes, it can — this compact box promises desktop-grade power without needing an external GPU, thanks to a high-performance CPU with strong integrated graphics. We ran full benchmarks, productivity tests, and gaming sessions to find out.
Short version: the GTi15 Ultra is a genuinely capable desktop replacement for most people — and if you ever need more GPU, Beelink’s EX Pro Dock (reviewed separately) plugs into its PCIe interface for real desktop-class graphics.
TL;DR — The 10-second verdict
| What it is | A compact mini PC with desktop-grade CPU performance and strong integrated graphics — no eGPU required |
| Who it’s for | Desktop users who want to downsize without losing productivity performance — office, dev, media, and light-to-medium gaming |
| The headline | Full benchmarks show desktop-grade productivity in a compact box, with the EX Pro Dock as a PCIe upgrade path |
| The catch | Integrated graphics mean heavy AAA gaming still needs the dock or an eGPU solution |
| Our take | A real desktop replacement for productivity and casual gaming — and a smart path to desktop GPU power later |

Gaming Performance
Settings: MEDIUM quality with FSR and XeSS upscaling across the tested resolutions.
At medium settings with upscaling, the GTi15 Ultra delivers playable gaming across the board — the charts show the per-game/per-resolution results. It won’t replace a discrete GPU for maxed-out AAA titles, but for the vast majority of gamers it’s plenty.
Productivity & Creator Workloads
Full benchmark coverage shows where this box sits versus desktop systems — productivity is genuinely desktop-grade, 1080p editing is workable, and the LLM results show the integrated memory handling local models reasonably. It’s the “desktop replacement” story in numbers.
The bottom line
The Beelink GTi15 Ultra is a real desktop replacement for productivity and casual gaming — compact, quiet, and capable, with a smart PCIe dock upgrade path when you want desktop GPU power. If you’re ready to downsize without sacrificing your workflow, this is one of the most complete options around.
