Verdict
AOOSTAR AG01
7 / 10 Expert Rating
Unbeatable value for OCuLink-equipped mini PCs and handhelds, but strictly for OCuLink hosts only.
Razer Core X
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A no-frills, high-value Thunderbolt 3 enclosure that remains one of the best-regarded budget eGPU boxes even years after launch.
