Why this score

The score adds up these parts. Each part has a weight. A part counts as the average of its sources, pulled toward 80 when there are few sources.

  1. AI power

    50% weightcounts as 74.4

    Average of 2 sources: 71.6

  2. Experts

    30% weightcounts as 76.5

    Average of 1 source: 72.9

  3. Users

    No sources found yet. No data yet. This part counts as 80.

Thin: only 1 review or buyer rating, so it is pulled toward the average.

80 is the field average. A part counts as 80 + (average − 80) × N ÷ (N + 1), where N is its number of sources. One source counts half of the gap from 80. No sources count as 80.

Price

€959 at Beelink EU shop (eu.bee-link.com) · Maker's EU shop; delivery to Austria: see the price note

Variant '32G DDR5 5600MHz + 1TB SSD' (Frost Silver or Space Gray), Ryzen 7 8745HS, in stock when read; the shop's policy says EU prices include shipping and VAT. Geizhals shows 2 EU-wide offers from EUR 1,049.99 and none for Austria. The 16 GB build (EUR 689) is left out because it cannot give the GPU 16 GB. Delivery to Austria not confirmed (the shop ships to most EU countries and does not name Austria).

GPU memory
16 GBNo AMD Variable Graphics Memory on this chip (AMD introduced it with the Ryzen AI 300 series). Windows' documented limit for system memory used by graphics (Microsoft, 'Calculating Graphics Memory') is MIN(80% of RAM, MAX(RAM - 16 GB, 50% of RAM)) = 16 GB on 32 GB of RAM. The BIOS UMA frame buffer on this box tops out at 16 GB (Beelink forum post on the SER8 8845); the larger of the two figures is used. Linux GTT tuning is not documented for this iGPU.

Notes

A small (0.81 L) box, quiet at 34.6 dB(A) and 68 W under load, with one USB4 and one 2.5 GbE port. Radeon 780M with about 90 GB/s; the BIOS caps dedicated GPU memory at 16 GB.

Notebookcheck's score, power and noise are for the Ryzen 7 8845HS SER8 (32 GB, 1 TB, Windows); the EU shop now sells the 8745HS version, which Beelink calls 'equivalent to an 8845HS without the Ryzen AI engine NPU' (same Radeon 780M). Geizhals lists the 32 GB SER8 with one 32 GB module and one free slot, while Beelink and Notebookcheck say dual-channel DDR5-5600; 89.6 GB/s assumes dual-channel, a single-module build would be about 44.8 GB/s. Notebookcheck measured 44.7 x 135 x 135 mm (0.81 L) and Beelink states 0.814 L. Memory speed source: Beelink EU page: dual-channel DDR5 5600 MHz, 2 SO-DIMM slots; 5600 MT/s x 128 bit = 89.6 GB/s (see dnote on module count).
