2026 verdict
Storage and memory headroom decide this one: the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9) outguns the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) with quadruple the SSD space and 8GB more RAM, running on a Ryzen 9 8945HS built for heavier creative and multitasking work than this mini PC category typically sees. The Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) is the more affordable of the two and keeps its networking advantage, with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port and dual Thunderbolt 4 against the A8 Max's dual 2.5G Ethernet and Thunderbolt-free USB4 ports. Both use DDR5 memory, both carry a three-year warranty, and both stay quiet under everyday use according to owner feedback. Buyers who need more storage and memory for demanding, non-gaming workloads should choose the Geekom A8 Max (Ryzen 9); buyers who want a lower price and faster wired networking should choose the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB).
