The Chinese tech brand Aoostar has just announced its Godz compact computer, and this may just be the answer to your questions. Dont let its small dimensions mislead you; this little machine is being marketed to compete with the best of them when it comes to gaming, especially for fans of AMD hardware.
Well, the Aoostar Godz comes in a sleek metal casing, with a dimension of just 200 x 80 x 193 mm, weighing a mere 1.5 kg. Thats really tiny. But whats really interesting is how theyre keeping things cool. Dedicated fan blowing air from above over the DDR5 RAM modules (you can stuff them with 64 GB) and your superb M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs (for two ones, up to 2 TB each). Such a thoughtful touch to a little form factor build.
The connectivity isnt bad either. For the wireless side, an Intel AX210 network card takes care of Wi-Fi 6, complete with an external antenna for better reception. Now, lets take a closer look at the ports:
- One USB-A port
- One USB-C port
- Two 3.5 mm audio jacks (for your headset and mic)
- One HDMI port
- One DisplayPort (essential for modern monitors)
- Four more USB-A ports (for all your peripherals)
- Another USB-C port (Note This one is for data transfer only)
- A pair of 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports (for super-fast wired internet)
- Two additional 3.5 mm audio jacks
If youre in China, Aoostar has laid out the pricing according to the memory and storage you want:
- Barebone System (No RAM or SSD): Approx. USD $455
- 32 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD: Approx. USD 565
- 64 GB RAM + 2 TB SSD: Approx. USD 690
Its always nice to see what different brands can do with small form factor PCs, and Aostars Godz looks like an interesting candidate with its Radeon RX 6600 graphics for space-savvy gamers.
