Beelink SER9 AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Mini PC Review - Page 2 of 4 - ServeTheHome

Once getting the first bottom cover off, we can see the dust cover and the speakers.

Beelink has been adding both dust covers and speakers into their latest mini PCs.

The dust cover requiring the removal of an outer cover and six screws, is a pain to get to. It is also connected to the speaker box due to the mounting, so it is another service step.

The speakers are supposed to provide great audio. We can say that you can hear audio, but it might be immersive only if you are a nearby grasshopper. Otherwise, get headphones or real speakers. We wish Beelink would have skipped these.

Opening up the system, we have something very different. There are no DDR5 slots since the memory is packaged with the system. We still get a heatsink that covers the two M.2 SSD slots and the WiFi slot.

The SSD is a 1TB Crucial unit. One can also add a second NVMe SSD to the system, which might be necessary for many. Given the cost differential these days, and the price of this system, it would have been nice to see a 2TB drive.

Here, we get an Intel AX200 WiFi 6 card. This should be WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 in this class of device.

Still, the lack of DDR5 is going to be a big one for folks. That means you get 32GB of memory. If you are memory-bound in your usage, then other systems might be better options.

Next, let us get to the performance.
