2026 verdict
For a compact machine that can grow into a desktop replacement, the Beelink GTi15 Ultra (64GB + 1TB) is the stronger mini PC of this pair, and the GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) is the one to buy on a tight budget.
The Beelink pairs a sixteen-core Core Ultra 9 285H and Arc 140T graphics with 64GB of DDR5-5600, a 1TB Gen 4 drive, two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and an internal power supply. The GMKtec keeps things cheaper with an eight-core Ryzen 7 7730U, 32GB of DDR4 and dual 2.5G ports. Choose the Beelink for higher throughput and room to grow, and the GMKtec for a quiet, low-cost homelab box.

What the differences mean
Processor
The Beelink GTi15 Ultra (64GB + 1TB) runs a sixteen-core Core Ultra 9 285H with Arc 140T graphics, while the GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) uses an eight-core Ryzen 7 7730U. The Beelink leads on both CPU and graphics.
Memory
The Beelink ships 64GB of DDR5-5600 and reaches 128GB; the GMKtec ships 32GB of DDR4-3200 and tops out at 64GB. The Beelink is the faster and roomier platform by a wide margin.
Storage
The Beelink starts at a 1TB drive on two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots; the GMKtec starts at 512GB on two PCIe 3.0 slots. Both are expandable, but the Beelink begins faster and larger.
Networking
The Beelink carries two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports against the GMKtec's two 2.5G ports, four times the raw link speed, and both add Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Power and warranty
The Beelink uses an internal 145W power supply, so one cable runs it, and offers a three-year warranty; the GMKtec uses an external 65W adapter and carries a one-year warranty.
Extras
The Beelink includes built-in speakers, a microphone array and a fingerprint sensor, none of which the GMKtec has. The GMKtec keeps the smaller, lighter footprint and the lower price.
Which one to buy if
- you run a 10 Gigabit home network or NAS
The Beelink GTi15 Ultra (64GB + 1TB) has two 10 Gigabit ports and an internal power supply for always-on duty.
- you are on a budget but still want dual wired networking
The GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) costs far less and still offers two 2.5G ports.
- you want a machine that can take a desktop GPU later
The Beelink pairs a PCIe x8 slot with Beelink's external dock to accept a full graphics card.
- you need speakers and a microphone without extra hardware
Only the Beelink has built-in speakers and a microphone array.

What owners say
Owner reviews of the GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) highlight how much performance it delivers for its size and price, with the dual 2.5G Ethernet ports singled out by people running pfSense, Proxmox and other always-on services. Buyers also like the quiet dual-fan cooling, the easy Windows 11 Pro setup and clean Linux installs. The most common caveats are the DDR4 and PCIe 3.0 platform, integrated graphics that get hot under sustained gaming, the absence of USB4 or an SD slot, a one-year warranty and an isolated sleep-wake bug that forces a hard reset.
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.
