Bmax B8A Pro
Score: 72/100Rankings
The BMAX B8A Pro combines a Zen 4 Ryzen 7 8745HS CPU, Radeon 780M iGPU and 16 GB DDR5 RAM in a 430 g chassis, delivering strong performance, triple-4K support and fast PCIe 4.0 storage. It excels in portability and speed but is limited by a single-gigabit Ethernet port and modest RAM capacity.
The Beelink SER5 Mini PC delivers a compact Zen 3 Ryzen 5 5500U, 16 GB DDR4 RAM and 500 GB NVMe SSD, supporting up to three 4K displays and low power draw. Ideal for office, media and light gaming, it lacks a dedicated GPU and DDR5 support.
