Data from the official Beelink and Geekom sites.
2026 verdict
Same eight Ryzen cores underneath, different priorities above them, and the Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) takes this mini PC matchup on owner rating and on storage capacity.
It pairs its Ryzen 7 6800H with DDR5 in a socketed SODIMM slot, a 1TB PCIe 4.0 drive, USB4 and an SD reader. The Beelink EQR7 (7735U 16GB + 500GB) wins on price and brings a built-in power supply and two 2.5G Ethernet ports, but its 16GB of LPDDR5 is soldered and its video output is HDMI only. Buy the Geekom A6 for the better balance, the Beelink EQR7 for a cheaper, quieter network box.

What the differences mean
Storage capacity
The Geekom A6 ships with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 drive; the Beelink EQR7 ships with 500GB. Both have room for a second M.2 2280 drive, so either can grow, but the Geekom starts with twice the space for the same kind of work.
Networking
The Beelink EQR7 has two 2.5G Ethernet ports and the Geekom A6 has one. For a firewall, a NAS node or a machine that bridges two network segments, the second port is the reason to pick the Beelink.
Power supply
The Beelink EQR7 hides an 85W supply inside the case and runs from a single AC cord. The Geekom A6 uses an external 120W brick. On a tidy desk or in a cabinet, the Beelink's built-in supply is the neater setup.
Memory upgrade path
The Geekom A6 uses DDR5 SODIMM modules that can be replaced and raised to 64GB. The Beelink EQR7 has 16GB of LPDDR5 soldered to the board with a 16GB ceiling, so its memory is fixed for life.
Video output
The Geekom A6 has USB4, DisplayPort over USB-C and dual HDMI, enough for four displays. The Beelink EQR7 offers only two HDMI ports and a data-only USB-C, so monitor choice is more limited.
Which one to buy if
- you want a small home firewall or NAS node
The Beelink EQR7 has two 2.5G Ethernet ports and a built-in supply, which suits a wired network device.
- you need to add RAM later
The Geekom A6 takes DDR5 SODIMM modules up to 64GB, while the Beelink EQR7's 16GB is soldered and final.
- you want the quieter machine
EQR7 owners consistently call it near-silent under load, and it runs from an internal 85W supply.
- you are buying on price with the same core count
The Beelink EQR7 costs less while offering eight Ryzen cores, dual 2.5G LAN and PCIe 4.0 storage.
- you want the better reviewed machine and more storage
The Geekom A6 carries the higher owner rating and twice the drive capacity, plus a genuine USB4 port.

What owners say
Owners of both mini PCs lead with the same idea: quiet, compact machines that handle everyday work without fuss. Geekom A6 (Ryzen 7 16GB + 1TB) owners praise painless setup, the aluminium build and a small size that surprises them, and they run eight cores through browsing, office software and multitasking. The Beelink EQR7 (7735U 16GB + 500GB) owners are even more emphatic about silence, calling it near-silent under load, and highlight the single-cable setup and the value of a fast eight-core chip. The warnings differ. A6 owners mention a loud top fan setting and slow after-sales support. EQR7 owners point to the soldered 16GB, HDMI-only output and a plain plastic case, with isolated reports of unexpected restarts.
