Verdict

AOOSTAR AG01

7 / 10 Expert Rating

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

GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2070 Gaming Box

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

Solid Turing-era performance in a tidy fixed package, though the premium over a bare enclosure plus card was steep even at launch.
