7 / 10 Expert Rating

The fastest eGPU link you can buy for under $200, with a power button that does not work.

AOOSTAR EG02 TB5 OCuLink eGPU Dock

7 / 10 Expert Rating

An aggressively priced early Thunderbolt 5 dock for enthusiasts willing to source their own PSU, though it lacks the built-in convenience of AOOSTAR's AG-series.
