2026 verdict
DDR5 versus DDR4 at the same 32GB fill is the mini PC story, and Beelink SEi14 (32GB + 1TB) beats GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) on memory type, memory speed and the 1TB drive.
The Beelink's Core Ultra 9 185H, Arc graphics, Intel AI Boost NPU and Thunderbolt 4 sit in a 750g aluminum chassis. GMKtec NucBox M5 Ultra (32GB + 512GB) is the cheaper Ryzen 7 7730U option, with dual 2.5G Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, a dedicated DisplayPort and a VESA mount. Go SEi14 for the newer memory and Thunderbolt; go M5 Ultra when two wired ports and a wall-mount kit beat a faster DIMM.
