The Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) answers with a lower price, a higher owner rating, and extras the EQi 304 skips entirely: an SD card reader and a Kensington lock slot. Both carry a three-year warranty and a 512 GB drive, but only the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) brings 10 Gigabit Ethernet and dual Thunderbolt 4, useful for a home server or fast file transfers. Pick the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) for the newer memory platform and serious networking, and the Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) for the lower price, the better owner rating and a couple of physical-security ports.

What the differences mean

Memory generation and capacity

The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) ships 24 GB of DDR5, against 16 GB of DDR4 on the Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB): newer memory technology and more of it out of the box.

Networking and Thunderbolt

The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) pairs a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port with a second 2.5G port and two Thunderbolt 4 connections; the Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) has a single 2.5G Ethernet port and no Thunderbolt at all.

Built-in power supply

The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) has its 85W power supply built into the chassis, so it runs off a standard AC cable with no brick on the desk. The Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) needs its external adapter.

Security and expansion ports

The Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) has an SD card reader and a Kensington lock slot that the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) does not have, which matters for a shared desk or office.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of the Geekom A5 Pro (Ryzen 5 16GB + 512GB) describe a machine that disappears on the desk: quick to set up with no bloatware, quiet under everyday load, and small enough to sit behind a monitor with the included VESA mount. Several run it for office work, streaming and light creative tasks and call the six USB ports plus dual HDMI enough for a full workstation without extra hardware. The complaints are about expansion rather than day to day use: no 2.5 inch drive bay for an existing hard drive, an integrated GPU that is not for gaming, and no USB4 or Thunderbolt for faster external storage.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
