2026 verdict
Sizing up a budget Windows mini PC for a home office, the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) comes out ahead of this pair.
It wins on price, on the better owner rating and on its three-year warranty, and its 12GB of LPDDR5 at 4800 MT/s is quicker memory than the DDR4 in the GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB). The GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) answers with more memory that can be upgraded to 64GB, a touch more storage, and triple display output over HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C, while the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) keeps its 12GB soldered and drives two screens over HDMI. Both offer a second M.2 slot and 2.5G Ethernet. Pick the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) for a quiet, low-price desk box, and the GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) if you want room to grow.

What the differences mean
Memory
The GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) ships with 16GB of DDR4 in two SO-DIMM slots and can be upgraded to 64GB, while the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) has 12GB of LPDDR5 soldered to the board, so its memory is fixed from the start.
Memory speed
The LPDDR5 in the Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) runs at 4800 MT/s against 2400 MHz DDR4 in the GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB), which the smaller machine turns into snappier everyday responsiveness.
Display output
The GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) drives three screens through HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C. The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) drives two through its two HDMI outputs and has no USB-C video.
Warranty
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) carries a three-year warranty; the GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) is covered for one year.
Processor and tuning
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) uses the efficient Intel N150 and runs quiet out of the box, while the GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) pairs an older Ryzen 5 3500U with a BIOS power profile that has to be switched to Performance before it feels quick, after which it runs hot.
Which one to buy if
- you want the lower price, the better review record and the longer warranty
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) is the more affordable, better reviewed and three-year-backed machine.
- you want to add more memory later
The GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) has two SO-DIMM slots and reaches 64GB.
- you want to run three monitors
The GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) adds DisplayPort and USB-C video to its HDMI output.
- you need a quiet, low-power box for documents, browsing and streaming
The Beelink Mini S13 (N150 12GB + 500GB) is built for exactly that and runs quietly with no tuning.
- you want a cheap box to tinker with Linux or a small always-on service
The GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) gives you socketed memory, two NVMe bays and USB-C power.

What owners say
Owners of the GMKtec G10 (16GB + 512GB) agree almost to a person that it is far more computer than the money suggests: near silent in normal use, quick to set up because Windows 11 Pro arrives activated, and easy to open for a memory or SSD upgrade. Many run it as a small always-on home server with Linux, and the 2.5G Ethernet port keeps coming up as the detail rivals skip. The recurring caveats are specific: it leaves the factory in a low-power BIOS profile and feels sluggish until Performance mode is enabled, after which it runs hot, drivers can be missing after a clean install, and the warranty only lasts a year with mixed reports on support.
