Beelink has expanded its ME Pro NAS mini PC family with new models powered by Intel’s Core 3 304 processor, based on the Wildcat Lake platform. The latest refresh brings updated hardware to both the two-bay and four-bay versions while retaining the compact design aimed at home users, content creators, and small office environments looking for network-attached storage with modern connectivity.
The new ME Pro configuration comes equipped with 16GB of DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM memory, giving users a faster memory platform for multitasking and file management. For the operating system, Beelink includes 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage, while users who need additional high-speed storage can install an NVMe SSD through the built-in PCIe Gen4 x1 M.2 2280 slot. Although the SSD slot operates over a single PCIe Gen4 lane, it still offers a convenient option for expanding local storage.
Wireless connectivity is handled by the MediaTek MT7922 module, which supports both Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. This allows users to connect to high-speed wireless networks while also pairing Bluetooth accessories such as keyboards, mice, and headphones.
Networking is one of the key features of the updated ME Pro series. Beelink includes a 10GbE RJ45 Ethernet port alongside a 2.5GbE RJ45 port, allowing the mini PC to support faster file transfers across compatible networks while also providing flexibility for dual-network configurations. This setup is useful for users running media servers, backups, virtualization workloads, or shared storage within a local network.
The external connectivity options also receive a balanced selection of ports. On the front panel, users get a USB-A 10Gbps port for connecting portable SSDs or other high-speed USB devices. The rear panel includes another USB-A 10Gbps port, a USB-A 480Mbps port, an HDMI 2.1 TMDS output for display connectivity, a Thunderbolt 4 port for high-speed peripherals and storage expansion, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack.
The new ME Pro models are available in two storage bay configurations. The two-bay version is priced at 4,599 yuan (around US$679), while the four-bay model costs 4,719 yuan (around US$695), making the larger model only slightly more expensive than the entry-level option. The relatively small price difference may appeal to users who expect their storage needs to grow over time.
