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 3090 Gaming Box
7 / 10 Expert Rating
Flagship Ampere performance in a quiet liquid-cooled eGPU shell, but priced closer to a full gaming PC than an enclosure.
