Beelink Mini S13, a small square blue mini PC for running Home Assistant

Quick verdict

I would pick the Mini S13 for a dedicated Home Assistant OS install. The listing describes an N150, 16GB of DDR4, a 500GB M.2 SATA SSD, a spare M.2 slot and two 2.5GbE ports, which is plenty for Home Assistant with MQTT and Zigbee2MQTT. I haven't run this one; it ships with Windows 11, which installing Home Assistant OS erases.

Standout: An Intel N150 box with 16GB of RAM, a 500GB SSD and two 2.5GbE ports, sold complete.

Why it stands out

16GB DDR4 and a 500GB SSD included, so nothing to add
Two 2.5GbE ports
Spare M.2 slot for a larger drive later

Reasons to hesitate

Ships with Windows 11 Home; Home Assistant OS replaces it
External DC power adapter
Amazon listings mix Mini S12, S12 Pro and S13 variants; ratings may cover more than one model
No product page on Beelink's US store as of October 16, 2026
Earlier Mini S13 units shipped with a single Gigabit port; confirm the dual-2.5GbE version in the listing

Best for

a dedicated Home Assistant OS host with room for a few apps

Avoid if

you want Home Assistant preinstalled
you plan heavy camera AI or several VMs

Privacy and local-control notes

A mini PC running Home Assistant OS keeps the core automation stack local. Privacy tradeoffs mostly depend on the integrations you add later, not the box itself.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: Home Assistant OS host.
