Verdict — Integrated Stereo Speakers And Quad Microphones for Home And Conferences
Beelink has been hitting it out of the park ever since it introduced the redesigned SER8. While obviously inspired by the Mac Mini, the new design is still of higher quality than the older models while being much more visually appealing for home or office environments. The internal changes are equally as impressive with its AI-powered quad mics and dual speakers — integrated features that aren't commonly found on competitors in the same $500 price range.

The naming convention deserves criticism as it can be confusing for shoppers. For example, the regular SER9 can be configured with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor which is faster than our "SER9 Pro" configuration. They even share the exact same chassis design and so the "Pro" suffix is arguably unnecessary and potentially misleading since "Pro" is often associated with faster performance.
Beyond the naming, we would like to see more organized USB ports to better distinguish between USB 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0 ports. The 100 W barrel AC adapter could be universal USB-C instead as well. And finally, integrating a Kensington lock and providing a way to select CPU power profiles via Windows instead of only through BIOS would improve usability.
Pros
Cons
The Beelink SER9 Pro ships with the recently released Zen 4 AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor whereas the regular SER9 would ship with the Zen 5 Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Both models are otherwise share the same chassis design and physical features.
Our test unit comes configured with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD for approximately $520. Barebones options are not available at the time of writing.
Competitors to the SER9 Pro include other multimedia mini PCs like the BOSGAME M2, GMK EVO-X1, or GMK NucBox K11.

Specifications
Case
Chassis features and dimensions are exactly the same as on the regular SER9. Owners will want to keep in mind that while the system sports four USB-A ports and two USB-C ports, they are confusingly of different versions. For example, two of the USB-A ports are USB 2.0 only while only the rear USB-C port supports USB 4.0 features.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Windows to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below.
Processor
The Ryzen 7 H 255 performs almost identically to the Ryzen 9 7940HS or Ryzen 7 8845HS. It can be considered a rebrand since it utilizes the older Zen 4 architecture instead Zen 5. The Zen 5-based Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in the SER9, for example, runs 30 to 35 percent faster.
Keep in mind that the system is not compatible with Copilot+ as its integrated NPU performance is below the minimum requirement.

Speakers
The system has built-in stereo speakers which is an uncommon feature on mini PCs. Unfortunately, audio quality is imbalanced while maximum volume is quieter when compared to many thin-and-light laptops like the HP Spectre. We would've preferred louder speakers to better fill a medium-sized conference room or at least higher quality ones for better music or multimedia playback. The internal speakers are instead best for confirming voice-activated features.
