Beelink SER5 MAX (Ryzen 7 7735HS)
Published on
The Beelink SER5 MAX built around the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is the newer, LPDDR5-era version of the SER5 MAX line, and it is a different machine from the older Ryzen 7 5800H model that shares the name. This one runs an 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 7735HS with Radeon 680M graphics, 24GB of soldered LPDDR5 in dual channel, and a pair of PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots for storage. Beelink aims it at the same audience as most of its lineup: people who want a small, quiet desktop for browsing, office work, media, and light photo editing without giving up modern connectivity. It drives three 4K displays at once, adds 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4, and ships with Windows 11 Pro. The memory is fixed at 24GB, so this is a buy-once configuration rather than one you grow into.
Eight cores against a fixed 24GB ceiling
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 8-core Ryzen 7 7735HS scores roughly 24,000 on PassMark | LPDDR5 is soldered, so the installed RAM is a hard ceiling |
| Radeon 680M (RDNA 2, 12 CU) drives three 4K displays | The 7735HS is a 2023-era Zen 3+ part, not a current chip |
| 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4 | No 2.5-inch SATA bay; storage is M.2 only |
| Dual M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots, up to 4TB each | USB-C tops out at 10Gbps, with no USB4 or Thunderbolt |
| 24GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 feeds the integrated GPU | Joshua C. Tyler reports graphics crashes and lost HDMI output |
| Compact 4.96 by 4.45 inch footprint, VESA mount included | Beelink relists it as SER5, SER5 MAX, and SEI, which muddies listings |

Modern ports and dual M.2 storage around a 2023 chip
The chassis measures 4.96 by 4.45 by 1.65 inches and weighs about 1.83 pounds, so it disappears behind a monitor on the included VESA bracket. The top is a fine perforated mesh over Beelink’s MSC2.0 cooling setup, which uses a heat pipe, a heat sink, and a pair of fans to keep the 7735HS fed. Port placement splits front and rear. On the front you get one USB 3.2 (10Gbps) Type-A, one USB 2.0 Type-A, a Type-C port that carries both 10Gbps data and video, a 3.5mm combo jack, and the power button. The rear adds a second USB 3.2 and a second USB 2.0, a DisplayPort 1.4 output, an HDMI 2.0 output, the 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet jack, and the DC input. HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C together give the triple 4K display support Beelink advertises.
The Ryzen 7 7735HS is an 8-core, 16-thread part that boosts to 4.75GHz and lands around 24,264 on the PassMark CPU benchmark. That is enough headroom for heavy multitasking, browser-heavy workflows, and productivity apps, and it comfortably outruns the Intel N-series budget chips that dominate the cheapest mini PCs. The 7735HS is also a Zen 3+ Rembrandt-R design that first shipped in 2023, so in 2026 it sits a generation or two behind current Zen 4 and Zen 5 mobile parts. The integrated Radeon 680M is a 12-compute-unit RDNA 2 GPU running at 2200MHz, which handles 1080p esports titles, older games at reduced settings, and 4K video playback, but it is not a substitute for a discrete graphics card. The 24GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 matters because integrated graphics lean heavily on memory bandwidth and a two-channel layout keeps the 680M from starving.
WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 cover wireless, and the wired jack is 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet rather than plain gigabit, which is useful for NAS access or a fast local network. That is the clearest gain over the older 5800H SER5 MAX. Storage expansion runs through two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots, each rated for up to 4TB, for as much as 8TB of internal NVMe. The trade-off for the LPDDR5 speed is that the memory is soldered to the board, so unlike the DDR4 SODIMM models earlier in the SER5 family, you cannot add RAM later. Buyers who want more than 24GB should look at a SODIMM-based mini PC instead.
Reviewer Insights
No independent hands-on review of this SER5 MAX 7735HS configuration has surfaced. Beelink cycles the same chassis through several listing names, including SER5, SER5 MAX, and SEI, which scatters whatever coverage exists across different product titles. The Ryzen 7 7735HS is well characterized from its use across many 2023 and 2024 mini PCs, and its PassMark standing and Radeon 680M pairing hold wherever it appears, so the performance figures above are spec-derived rather than measured on this machine.
Customer Reviews
On the Amazon listing for the 24GB / 500GB configuration, the Beelink SER5 MAX 7735HS averages 4.1 stars across 89 ratings. Of those, 68 percent are five stars and another 11 percent are four stars, while 13 percent sit at one star. The praise clusters on setup speed, size, and value. A verified buyer posting as Average Joe gave it five stars and wrote that “There are plenty of connectors for USB and video,” adding “ZERO problems with setup or use.” Another verified purchaser, Coach, used it to design 3D-printer parts and concluded “For under $500, it’s a great buy,” noting that “It comes with Windows Pro, which was a nice surprise.” Susan M T, also a verified buyer, kept it simple at five stars: “It was easy to set up. Takes up no space, what a plus!”
Verified buyer Joshua C. Tyler gave it one star over graphics stability, writing that “the graphics card crashes frequently” and that after a few months there was “No output from HDMI.” That matches the 13 percent one-star share and points at AMD graphics-driver behavior rather than the hardware falling apart.
A compact office desktop with its memory already maxed
Someone who wants a small, quiet Windows 11 Pro machine with WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and triple 4K output gets all of it here. The 8-core Ryzen 7 7735HS handles office work, web-heavy multitasking, media, and light creative tasks, and the dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots leave room for storage. The 24GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 is a good match for the Radeon 680M and covers everyday work without stalls.
The memory is soldered, so a SODIMM-based mini PC is the better pick for anyone who might need more than 24GB later. Buyers who want the newest silicon or discrete-class graphics for gaming and rendering should step up to a Zen 4 or Zen 5 model with a stronger GPU, since the 7735HS is a 2023 Zen 3+ chip. It also pays to confirm the exact configuration and listing name before ordering, because this chassis appears under SER5, SER5 MAX, and SEI titles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What processor does the Beelink SER5 MAX 7735HS use?
It uses the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3+ processor that boosts to 4.75GHz and scores roughly 24,264 on the PassMark CPU benchmark. It pairs with integrated Radeon 680M graphics.
Can I upgrade the RAM?
No. This model uses 24GB of LPDDR5 soldered to the board, so the memory cannot be upgraded after purchase. If you expect to need more than 24GB, choose a mini PC with SODIMM slots instead.
How much storage can it hold?
Two M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slots take up to 4TB each, for as much as 8TB of internal NVMe storage. There is no 2.5-inch SATA bay on this generation.
What ports does it have?
It provides two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, one USB-C port with 10Gbps data and video, an HDMI 2.0 output, a DisplayPort 1.4 output, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet jack, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C support three simultaneous 4K displays.
Does it support triple 4K displays?
Yes. Using the HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C outputs together, it can drive three 4K displays at once. DisplayPort 1.4 can reach 4K at up to 144Hz.
Is this the same as the older SER5 MAX?
No. The earlier SER5 MAX uses a Ryzen 7 5800H with DDR4 SODIMM memory, while this model uses the newer Ryzen 7 7735HS with soldered LPDDR5, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and Bluetooth 5.4. Beelink also lists this chassis under the SER5 and SEI names, so confirm the processor before ordering.
