Verdict

Acasis 40Gbps USB4 eGPU Dock

5.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable budget USB4 eGPU dock for the price, but a newer brand without the certification pedigree of Sonnet or OWC.

AOOSTAR AG01

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Unbeatable value for OCuLink-equipped mini PCs and handhelds, but strictly for OCuLink hosts only.
