2026 verdict

A low-power always-on N95 box versus a 64GB AI workstation is not a close fight, and the Geekom A9 Mega (64GB + 1TB) wins this mini PC comparison over the Beelink Mini S12 (N95 8GB + 480GB).

It leads on LPDDR5X versus DDR4, on memory speed, on 64GB versus 8GB, and on 1TB versus 480GB. The Beelink Mini S12 (N95 8GB + 480GB) is still the cheaper, better-reviewed always-on machine: an Intel N95 that owners leave running as Proxmox, Home Assistant or a camera recorder because it draws so little power. Buy the A9 Mega for local AI and GPU-class graphics; buy the Mini S12 when the job is a silent, low-cost host that stays on all day.
