AYANEO AG01 Starship eGPU Review

Review published 2025-06-25 covering the AYANEO AG01 Starship, an external GPU dock designed to transform handhelds into desktop gaming setups.

Key Specifications

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT, 8GB GDDR6
• Power Profiles: 100W / 120W
• Connectivity: Oculink + USB4
• Display Output: Up to 4 monitors

Design

The AG01 features a Star Trek-inspired starship design, described in the review as the “best eGPU design” available. The aesthetic sets it apart from utilitarian competitors in the eGPU space.

Performance

Tested with the AYANEO 3 handheld:

• 3DMark Time Spy: ~9600
• Cyberpunk 2077: 41fps at 4K low settings

The AG01 effectively transforms a portable handheld into a capable desktop gaming system. Performance is competitive with dedicated desktop GPUs when connected via Oculink.

Value Proposition

Positioned as more affordable than competing eGPU solutions while maintaining high performance. The combination of Oculink for maximum bandwidth and USB4 for broader compatibility gives users flexibility in how they connect their devices.

Availability
