GEM12 + AMD R7 PRO 8845HS

Check the thermal design before you buy. While the Beelinks look nice, their cooling and related case design is more for looks than efficiency ... I have an Aoostar GEM12+ and that can game for hours without thermal problems ...

I love my aoostar gem12+ ryzen 8845hs 780m but I’m running an egpu with it also. It’s awesomely designed and you can get it bare bones for under 350 and tailor make it like I did. 64g ddr5 4tb ssd I got all on eBay much much under current prices brand new. Or you can get the full built which I belie

As an FYI and probably not a lot of difference but the Aoostar GEM12+ has the Ryzen 7 Pro 8845HS and the K8 Plus has the standard 8845HS.

Aoostar gem12+ Ryzen 8845s if you have ram and ssd you can get it for like 350’barebbones which I did but it’s amazing cooling is next level and it’s a beast I can’t speak to the 5070 I’m an amd person but oculink is there

I strongly back the aoostar gem12+ barebones with 8845 hs 780m it’s $329 US. This thing is a beast though, super high quality dual fans and vapor chamber cooling. I’m Running it with an egpu it comes equipped with Oculink and it’s freaking awesome

So I have the ag02 running it with the aoostar gem12 plus mini with ryzen 8845hs 64g ddr5 and 4tb. It’s a beast. And I’ve run it over oculink which the gem12 has and I’ve tried it with tb4. Not a huge huge difference but definitely will see some hits in micro stutter and overall clarity. But via ocu

The aoostar gem12 plus 8845hs 329 on Amazon I have it oculink all the goodies and runs like a beast

This is a great question, and as you can see comment no one has a solid idea. For all intents & purposes, the AooStar WTR MAX 8845HS is a 6x 3.5" SATA + 3x Gen4x2 2280 NVMe + 2x Gen4x1 NAS With 2x X710 10GbE LAN (SFP+) + 2x i226V 2.5GbE Built around a GEM12 8845HS mPC Expendable to 128GB With SFF-86

Great feedback, thanks! I also started shying away from the 8745hs and the H255 as I did more research. I went with a Aoostar GEM12+ Pro without the led screen (version with the little screen seemed to have more negative reviews). I got it through Amazon so have until January 31, 2026 to return it i
