Both carry 8 GB of DDR4 and Windows 11 Pro, but the Mini S12's Intel N95 is a newer part than the Pentium Gold 7505, and it adds 2.5G Ethernet and a second HDMI output. The Geekom Mini Air12 (Pentium 7505 8GB + 256GB) counters with a 3-year warranty, dual-channel memory expandable to 32 GB rather than 16 GB, two USB-C ports, a Mini DisplayPort, an SD card reader, a Kensington lock and a slimmer 34.2 mm chassis, though its Ethernet is gigabit and its power supply is only 65W. Buy the Beelink Mini S12 (N95 8GB + 480GB) for more storage and faster networking, and the Geekom Mini Air12 (Pentium 7505 8GB + 256GB) for the longer warranty and more expandable memory.
