New Offerings
The EG01 is a completely new product, while the Maco has been available in China since last month. To provide some context, the Aoostar Maco starts at CNY 1,999 (around $281) and can be equipped with either the Ryzen 7 Pro 8845HS or the Ryzen 7 H 255. Based on what we see on Aoostar’s website, it looks like they will be offering the Maco with the former option globally.
Similarities and Design
Interestingly, the company already provides the Ryzen 7 Pro 8845HS in the GEM12+ (currently priced at $359 on Amazon), which includes 8 Zen 4 CPU cores and the well-known Radeon 780M iGPU. Furthermore, both the Maco and GEM12+ have similar port offerings, such as USB4 and OCuLink. However, the Maco has a design that resembles a Mac mini, featuring a repositioned OCuLink port. Plus, the Maco has a fingerprint scanner located at the top, integrated into the power button. While full global pricing and availability details are still unclear, they remain to be announced.
