Beelink SER5 Pro (16GB + 480GB) vs GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB)

Full Mini PCs comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Beelink and GMKtec sites.
2026 verdict
Rated higher by owners and priced lower, the Beelink SER5 Pro (16GB + 480GB) is the mini PC that wins this matchup against the GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB), also running faster-rated memory.
The SER5 Pro's six-core AMD Ryzen 5 5500U drives three simultaneous monitors through HDMI, DisplayPort and USB-C, well ahead of the G3 Pro's HDMI 1.4-only dual output capped at a low refresh rate for 4K. The G3 Pro's one edge is a slightly larger drive, 512GB against 480GB, plus a second free M.2 SATA bay that lets a buyer add capacity later, something the SER5 Pro's single M.2 slot does not offer. Both ship with 16GB of dual-channel DDR4 that maxes out at 64GB, 2.5G Ethernet and Windows 11 Pro, so memory headroom is a wash between them. Buyers who want a triple-monitor desktop with a lower price and a strong owner track record should choose the Beelink SER5 Pro (16GB + 480GB), while anyone who wants a second free storage bay for future expansion should pick the GMKtec NucBox G3 Pro (16GB + 512GB).
