Beelink expands ME Pro series with HX470 NAS-hybrid mini-PC

Beelink has expanded its ME Pro series with the introduction of the ME Pro HX470, a hybrid device combining a mini-PC with Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities. The new model features an upgrade to the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 processor from the Gorgon Point generation, which offers twelve cores, 24 threads, and an NPU capable of up to 55 TOPS.

The device utilizes a modular design with an interchangeable motherboard system, allowing for processor upgrades without replacing the entire chassis. It is available in both 2-bay and 4-bay configurations. Connectivity options include 10-Gigabit Ethernet, a 2.5-GbE port, and a 40 Gbps USB-C port. For storage, the unit provides three M.2 2280 PCIe SSD slots, though only two operate at full PCIe 4.0 x4 speeds.

The HX470 is currently launching in the Chinese market with a price increase of approximately 16 to 20 percent compared to its predecessor. Information regarding global availability or a European release has not yet been announced.
