Beelink SER9 Pro Mini-PC: A Detailed Review
This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the Beelink SER9 Pro mini-PC, specifically the model equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor. The review covers the device’s specifications, design, performance, and overall value proposition.
Unboxing and Initial Impressions
The Beelink SER9 Pro, a product from the company’s diverse mini-PC lineup, ships with the standard accessories. This configuration, featuring 32GB of RAM and a 1TB Crucial SSD, is available from the manufacturer’s official website at a price point of $640, £609, or €740. Color options include Frost Silver and Space Gray. The package includes a power adapter and an HDMI cable.
Design and Connectivity
The SER9 Pro features a compact form factor, measuring 13.5 cm on each side and approximately 5 cm in height, with a weight of 780g. The device incorporates the Beelink logo on the top panel and houses four microphones on the front, along with the power button. The rear panel accommodates ventilation for the heat sink.
The built-in speakers provide adequate audio quality, though their volume output is modest. An optional configuration without microphones or speakers is available, potentially reducing the cost by $40. The bottom panel is ventilated and supported by rubberized feet. Access to the internal components requires removing the four rubber feet to reveal screws.
Internally, the SER9 Pro offers two M.2 slots. One slot houses the primary SSD, while the other accommodates a Wi-Fi card. The inclusion of a second M.2 slot allows for storage expansion.
The Mate SE dock, available separately, enhances the connectivity options. It includes an additional 2.5G Ethernet port, two USB-A 3.0 (5Gbps) ports, and two USB-C ports (one 80Gbps for data transfer and another for power input). An SD 4.0 card slot (300MB/s read, 200MB/s write) is also incorporated. The Mate SE dock features its own active cooling fan and 360° vents for efficient thermal management.
Performance Analysis
Performance benchmarks were conducted to assess the SER9 Pro’s capabilities. The Ryzen 7 H 255 exhibited performance metrics that were generally lower than those observed in the Intel 255H, as tested in the Honor MagicBook Art 14 2025. Additionally, the Ryzen 7 H 255 demonstrated performance below the Ryzen AI 9 365 found within the Minisforum X1.
The integrated Radeon 780M graphics enable casual gaming. Beelink’s estimations suggest achievable frame rates of 56fps in Forza Horizon 4, 74fps in PUBG, and 128fps in League of Legends. Empirical testing yielded approximately 36fps at medium settings in 1080p resolution for Civilization 7, and close to 40fps in FC 25 at Ultra settings in 1080p, and around 30fps at Medium settings in Cyberpunk 2077.

The stress test revealed the Ryzen 7 H 255’s sustained performance capabilities. The processor initially operated at 54W and 4.9GHz, subsequently transitioning to approximately 38W and 4.5GHz. Following a brief period at 31W and 4.3GHz, the processor stabilized at 3.9GHz and 42W for the remainder of the test.
The integrated cooling system effectively managed heat dissipation, with the fan operating at full capacity, remaining inaudible within a typical office setting. The preloaded Crucial P3 Plus SSD exhibited commendable performance, achieving respectable speeds.
Conclusion
The Beelink SER9 Pro, equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor, presents a compelling mini-PC solution suitable for a variety of user needs. The AMD processor delivers sufficient processing power for diverse tasks, and its integrated Radeon 780M graphics offer acceptable performance for 1080p gaming.
Key advantages include a good value proposition for its configuration, efficient sustained performance from the Ryzen 7 H 255, adequate graphics capabilities for casual gaming, a versatile port selection, and the optional 80Gbps Mate SE dock.
