Beelink’s GTR9 Pro: A Mac Studio–Style Mini PC That Packs a Ryzen AI Punch

Compact PCs keep getting bolder, and Beelink’s latest, the GTR9 Pro, takes that to another level. It’s a mini PC that looks an awful lot like Apple’s Mac Studio, but inside hides a completely different beast.

Specs that stand out:

• AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (16-core/32-thread, Zen 5), clocks up to 5.1 GHz, features an XDNA 2 NPU, and delivers up to 126 TOPS of AI horsepower.

• Radeon 8060S iGPU (40 RDNA 3.5 CUs), this integrated GPU scores nearly on par with Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti Mobile, and performance comparisons show it significantly outpacing the RTX 4060 Laptop in ML and compute benchmarks

• 128 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, with room to upgrade to 8 TB via dual M.2 slots.

• Connections galore: dual 10 Gbps Ethernet, two USB-4 (40 Gbps), HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, SD 4.0, front mic/3.5 mm, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, plus a 230 W internal PSU.

Cooling? No noisy fans, Beelink’s MSC 2.0 dual-turbine + vapor-chamber setup keeps 140 W loads whisper-loud at ~32 dB.

And that power holds real teeth: with 126 TOPS and massive memory, the GTR9 Pro can run 70B-parameter AI models locally, rivalling full-size workstations, all in an aluminum box that fits on your desk.

Prices & availability: Currently available in China, starting at CNY 12,999 (~US$1,800–$1,999) for the maxed-out build. Shipping begins in September; global rollout likely soon after.

Why I Actually Love This Thing

This is literally the mini-PC I’ve been waiting for. I love the sleek look of the Mac Studio, but the AI-muscle of the Strix Halo APUs, and voilà, Beelink’s pulled off both in one. It also can game, unlike the Mac Studio. Sure, it lacks Apple’s memory-bandwidth monster, but let’s be real: most of us can’t afford that. I’m genuinely tempted to pre-order one. And no, I’m not sponsored by Beelink… sadly.

Verdict

The Beelink GTR9 Pro isn’t a Mac Studio knockoff, it’s a compact powerhouse that redefines what a mini-PC can do. Silent, monstrously capable, upgrade-friendly, if you want portability plus performance, this is the kit you’ve been waiting for.
