Handhelds and mini PCs specialist Ayaneo has started taking pre-orders for its first eGPU product. The availability of the retro-futuristic Ayaneo AG01 Starship Graphics Dock was announced on the firm’s Discord channel earlier today. Clicking ‘buy’ on the product page directs the browser to an order page where a Nebula Red unit can be secured for $599 on pre-sale. The device is expected to ship from the “end of November.”
It seems to have taken Ayaneo a long time to prepare its first-ever eGPU. We reported on the product teaser, which shared a pretty decent amount of detail, back in May this year. Key things to know about this eGPU is that it packs an AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU with 8GB of GDDR6 – for portable graphics performance - and users can connect to it via either Thunderbolt 3/4, USB4, or OCuLink. Ayaneo’s eccentrically styled device is also a pretty helpful dock, packing extra ports like USB-A, Ethernet, an SD card slot, and an M.2 2280 SSD slot – as well as a quartet of graphics outputs (2x HDMI, 2x DP).
