Thoughts on the AOOSTAR GEM12 Ryzen 7 8845HS Mini PC?

I’m planning on a new mini pc build here soon. I have bought two different Beelink Mini PCs in the past and upgraded them and they work well but lack OCulink and i’m intending on adding an eGPU later on.

Plans for this build:

AOOSTAR GEM12 Ryzen 7 8845HS Mini PC (32GB DDR5 RAM / 1TB SSD Variant)

Plans to upgrade w/

SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 (x2 - 8TB Max)

Crucial RAM 96GB Kit (2x48GB) DDR5 5600MHz

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7700 XT

AOOSTAR AG01 eGPU Dock (OCulink Variant)

I’m curious if anyone here is running one of these, has tried the external eGPU dock they make and how well it’s gone for them. (*I’d like to attempt some light gaming in Windows in a dual boot scenario and other things including some light AI stuff using local LLMs in Linux with it running at the full 75W set in BIOS)
