2026 verdict
Two Beelink units, two different jobs, and the Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) takes this matchup as the more capable mini PC.
It pairs an eight-core Ryzen 7 H 255 with 64 GB of DDR5-5600 that can reach 128 GB, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, a USB4 port listed as Thunderbolt 3 compatible and a three-year warranty. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) is the cheaper, lower-power alternative: a five-core efficiency Intel chip with an internal 85W supply, 10 Gigabit plus 2.5G Ethernet, two Thunderbolt 4 ports and two free M.2 slots in a 500 g box. Choose the Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) for CPU headroom and upgradable memory, and the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) for a tidy, always-on networking box.

What the differences mean
Chip class
The Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) runs an eight-core, sixteen-thread Ryzen 7 H 255 up to 4.9 GHz. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) runs a five-core Intel Core 3 304 built for efficiency. For virtual machines, compiles and multitasking the SER9 Max is far quicker.
Memory
The Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) ships 64 GB of dual-channel DDR5-5600 and takes up to 128 GB. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has 24 GB of DDR5 that can be taken to 64 GB, so it starts with less and caps lower.
Networking and Thunderbolt
The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has both a 10 Gigabit and a 2.5G port plus two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) has a single 10 Gigabit port and one USB4 port with Thunderbolt 3 compatibility, so the EQi's wired and dock options are broader.
Power supply
The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has an internal 85W power supply, so it takes a standard AC cable and leaves no brick on the desk. The Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) uses an external 100W adapter.
Storage
The Beelink SER9 Max (64GB + 1TB) ships 1 TB on an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive with a second slot free. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) ships 512 GB of onboard UFS 3.1 flash and two free M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots, so its boot storage is fixed but its expansion bays are open.
