2026 verdict
A 10G Intel box against a Pentium kiosk machine, and the Beelink EQi 304 (24GB + 512GB) wins this mini PC comparison.
It leads on DDR5 versus DDR4, 24GB versus 8GB, and 512GB versus 256GB, with an Intel Core 3 304, Xe3-LPG graphics, an AI Boost NPU, 10G plus 2.5G Ethernet and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The Geekom Mini Air12 (Pentium 7505 8GB + 256GB) is cheaper and still a quiet Windows 11 Pro terminal with Mini DisplayPort 1.4. Take the EQi 304 as a 24GB networked desktop; take the Mini Air12 when the brief is browsing, signage or a VESA-mounted classroom PC.
