Aoostar, best known for its mini-PCs, has just released an OCuLink-compatible eGPU dock called the AG01. It features a built-in 400-watt Huntkey power supply and is hot-swappable with TGX-equipped laptops, like the Lenovo Thinkbook 14+ and 16+. The AG01 was announced on Friday via Discord at a retail price of $150. However, the product has been so popular that the Aoostar retail page already shows the AG01 is sold out, at the time of writing.
The included 400-watt power supply makes the AG01 better integrated and more convenient to set up, as you don’t have to purchase a separate unit and assemble it. It’s also cost-effective, as one of the cheapest eGPU docks, the Minisforum DEG1, already costs $99 but requires users to equip one of the best power supplies, which could set you back around $60. However, people with a spare PSU could save money by opting for the DEG1.
