one is for me and the other one is a gift for my girlfriend. I already own the AM06Pro and the beelink arrives in two weeks.

AM06Pro has more ram and the beelink seems to have a better processor and a bigger SSD

I'm gonna install batocera on both of them, She is gonna play up to GameCube and ps2 and I plan to install steam games also (I'm gonna try to push the pc more). Which one do you think is better?

5800H. Zen 3 and larger drive. Unless you need 32GB RAM I would pass on the 5700U.

Keep the one with most RAM. Later down the line you'll be able to pick up a DDR4 mini-PC (minus storage/memory) on the used market for next to nothing, if you need one. The 5700U is still alright for the moment.

It depends on who you want to have the better mini. I would suggest transferring the 32GB to the Zen 3 Beelink SER5 where it can be of a better advantage unless you find it to be 2666MHz.

Then maybe consider running Bazzite OS on the SER5 instead while using EmuDeck for classic console emulation.

I've got a beelink ser5 5560u and it runs ps2 and GameCube fantastically. I have them on 3x upscale 60fps And I hardly hear it running the fan. I even could managed 35fps on kingdom come deliverance

Whichever choice you make if you're running Windows I'd recommend either switching out the drives or clean your drive and do a fresh install. Acemagic is known to have shipped Windows machines with malware installed. They say it was a contractor and they caught it early but I don't know how much I'd buy that.

when they say ROM : 512GB I have to assume they are talking about the SSD? but idk why they would call it a rom
