The form factor of the motherboard.
NVMe version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Beelink S12 Pro)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Beelink SER5)
The version of NVMe that the SSD is using.
NVMe SSDs use the PCIe interface, which has a higher bandwidth than the SATA interface. This results in much faster read/write speeds compared to SSDs which use the SATA interface.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
weight

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Beelink SER5)
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
CPU
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Memory
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
memory slots

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Beelink SER5)
More memory slots (also known as DIMM slots) allow you to add more RAM to your computer. It is also useful when upgrading, as you can add RAM to an empty slot instead of replacing an existing memory module.

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
More USB 2.0 ports allow you to connect more devices to your computer that support USB 2.0.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 supports speeds of up to 10Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 2. These ports use the older USB-A connector.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 supports speeds of up to 5Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0. These ports use the older USB-A connector.
USB 3.2 Gen 2 supports speeds of up to 10Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 2. These ports use the USB-C connector.
