About $100 cheaper than the GMKTec K8 Plus (fan favorite) for similar specs... The ACEMAGIC doesn't have an Oculink port though, but has USB4 for eGPUs.
Barebones version is $250. (Same link)

People love k8 plus because of the design. The chassis is designed so good that it cools down the 8845hs sufficiently while delivering near silent experience. On the top of that it also comes with a great stand alone oculink that does NOT take a m2. K8 plus confirms GMKtec's leadership on mini PC design that literally beat anyone else (including American naming brands). It was a "okish Chinese brand" before K8 plus but really is a "best mini PC out there" afterwards.
So unless this has comparable quality on design, its not a good comparison to k8 plus.

Just curious, what are your thoughts on intel/thunderbolt vs AMD. Also any thoughts on value. What price point is enough for "light gaming" vs "heavy gaming"? TIA
Oculink is much better for egpus, because USB4/TB4 have overhead that takes away from performance.
Oculink egpu options are also cheaper than USB4/TB4 egpus.
780M graphics are just about the tippy top of iGPUs. There are a couple "more powerful", but not by much and way more expensive. Hence the reason for USB4 or oculink and eGPUs.
