2026 verdict
GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra (32GB + 1TB) is a different class of mini PC than Beelink Mini S12 (N95 8GB + 480GB): quadruple the memory at 32GB of DDR5 against 8GB of single-channel DDR4, and more than double the storage at 1TB against 480GB, running on a newer six-core Ryzen 5 rather than a four-core Intel N95. Beelink Mini S12 (N95 8GB + 480GB) answers with a lower price and a slightly higher owner rating, and it has built a following as a low-power home server for Proxmox, Home Assistant and similar always-on tasks. Both stick to 2.5G Ethernet and neither packs a GPU worth mentioning for gaming. Choose Beelink Mini S12 (N95 8GB + 480GB) for the lowest price and power draw in a small always-on box; choose GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra (32GB + 1TB) once the workload needs real memory and storage headroom.
