TBH it would be a pretty decent workstation, as long as you don't do
anything that requires a beefy GPU (Gaming, video editing, etc)

I've been pretty impressed with my SER6 so far and have been thinking
about grabbing a cheaper beelink to replace my aging nas/dmz box. I
had 14 running for a bit but wifi and amdgpu are at one of those
points where they're not usable. 13 runs great but you need 14 for
drm-515-kmod so it's just a matter of time for me to switch over
fully. I've been really shocked at just how much they can stick in
something this small.

£239, plus:

* I wonder how much for *Beelink* to ship to the UK.

(I can't proceed beyond that point without creating an account, which
I don't want.)

The cost with Amazon US: "$70.24 Shipping & Import Fees Deposit to
United Kingdom".

I can't see the product in Amazon's UK store.

beelink is free shipping(and they cover duties) from amazon.ca, do
they not have a uk front?

watch the store, they have a crazy rotating stock and certain models
show up and disappear with wildly swinging prices.

I found  £200.46,

Again, I can't get a shipping cost without entering personal details.

I'm not likely to purchase one, just curious.

FWIW, amazon says $40CAD for me. That'll vary as stocks arrive in CA
warehouses which then makes importing null. On the same page, I just
got hit by fedex for $17 afterwards when importing another board from
china.  I'm sure the eq12 will show up soon enough in the uk front
based from watching stock for the ser6 and racing others for the cheap
listings.

have a look at this
[thread](https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/adding-igc-driver-
to-13-0-release-for-intel-i225-v-network-adapter.83070/), it looks
like i225 support has been pulled from FreeBSD 13.0.

However it is available in 14.0.

Also available in 13.2, if I read things correctly:
