No oculink and DDR 4 memory. Oculink allows use of an egpu with more bandwidth than USB or TB.
Um690 has a faster CPU, ddr5, and supports USB4 40Gbps
But oculink is better for egpu...
The big differences are the 16GB vs 32GB RAM, 256GB vs 512GB SSD, and new vs refurb.
While OcuLink is interesting and could someday be really useful, you're looking at an additional $500 minimum just to get in the door of any eGPU worth bothering.
The DDR4 listed on the graphic is for the older 5900HX CPU. The 6000s/AM5 only support DDR5. AMD didn't do like Intel did with LGA1700 chips supporting both.

But the page is broken in Chrome and Firefox for me for some reason. I cannot load the Specs tab. You may be able to.
There are plenty of reviews from when it came out roughly 2 years ago that include detailed specs and pictures,

As for the GMK tech unit, it has Oculink and 32GB memory, so no need to make a Frankenstein box like I did.

They only have the UM690(non-S) available which was reviewed poorly for having really bad thermal management and noise. The UM690S improved the cooler but it is not available for that price.
Personally, I would expect GMKTec to not be any better in this area. I only really trust Beelink for quality when it comes to these smaller mini PC brands. Mini forum is hit or miss
