Realistically, I do. I do AI work on a mini pc in the closet I was able to pick up for a low price. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean no one else does.
Why are so many people so deficient in reasoning and logic?Your anecdote doesn't refute the contention that hardly anybody uses Oculink. My anecdote is that I don't. Now what?Oculink just isn't a popular platform. It's really niche. If it works for you, great. Why are you getting all up in your feelings about it?
Not many, but its a chicken and egg situation...no one has heard of it, so they cannot even know that they want it. Also...it is a really delicate connector that cannot be hot-swapped. It would be ridiculously popular if it were on more premium laptops, or at least on things like the steam deck.
This K8 Plus was/is the best of the 8845hs mni-pc group last year (better than the UM880 Plus for the ports, and better than the GEM12 for quietness, and substantially cheaper than any of the Beelinks). But $688 is just dumb. No way in hell this is worth $300 more than the AOOSTAR Maco that is $386 right now. Zen4 is not worth $300 more.
If you have a virtual pinball machine, there's limited cabinet space so something like Oculink is really helpful to being able to get the kind of card you need for a lag free high resolution experience.
So what's the lowest recently people have seen 32GB DDR, 1TB SSD with 780m and Oculink for mini PC? I have eGPU looking for a decent mini PC but this feels like a higher price.

So the important thing is it's Radeon 780M and you can still buy those in the $500s at times and certainly under $650. This isn't a good deal.
This is 32GB/1TB/780M for $609 and has been under $550 (NO OCULINK): https://www.amazon.com/origimagic...re

I'm sure this is great for browsing slickdeals too tho.
