AG03 has everything an eGPU dock should have (well, almost)
AOOSTAR has officially launched a new AG03 eGPU dock. It is now showing up through third party listings, after earlier teasers that called out dual Thunderbolt 5 ports plus OCuLink support.
Based on the current listing info, AG03 keeps the usual PCIe 4.0 x4 approach for external GPUs, but adds more host-side options than the older OCuLink-only docks. It supports Thunderbolt 5 and USB4 v2 . That same post lists PD output support at up to 140W (with a second 27W figure also mentioned).

One change that will matter to high-power cards is the GPU power rating: the listing info pegs AG03 at up to 500W for the graphics card , which is lower than the 600W figure that shows up on older AG0x dock listings. The GPU power specs are important because the device has built-in 800W power supply:

It is close to what people want from an all-in-one eGPU dock, but it still stops short of being a full desktop replacement hub. There is no M.2 slot support and no Ethernet, so you still need a separate dock if you want storage expansion or wired networking.
The new eGPU dock is said to cost arond 1499 RMB, which is $214, so at least on paper, the same price as the current AG02 system.
