The Beelink SER9 is the first mini-PC we've looked at in ages - but it's a good one! Featuring AMD's state-of-the-art Strix Point processor, the Ryzen AI 9 HX370 running at up to 65W, it's our first chance to check out just how potent the new technology is when running the latest games. HX370 vs 7840U vs Steam Deck at 15W, power scaling tests, gameplay breakdowns and 7840U 30W head-to-heads - it's all in here.
