Verdict
AOOSTAR AG03
10 / 10 Expert Rating
Best overall — dual Thunderbolt 5/OCuLink connectivity and an 800W PSU handling up to an RTX 4090, all for under $500.
PELADN Link S-3
6 / 10 Expert Rating
An interesting, genuinely cheaper-to-build Thunderbolt 5 eGPU option for people who already have a spare ATX/SFX PSU, but inconsistent regional pricing and near-zero independent review coverage mean it's a bigger gamble than the budget framing suggests.
