If you’re looking for a hub to expand your M4 Mac mini and celebrate Apple’s 50th anniversary, the Wokyis Retro Dock is your perfect companion. This docking station comes in a case designed in the shape of the original Macintosh all-in-one, adding a retro touch to your desktop.
The dock fits a Mac mini M4 perfectly and has removable bottom panels, so the front and back of the mini remain accessible. The docking station offers the following ports:
- 2 front and 2 rear USB-A ports (10 Gbps)
- 1 front USB-C port (10 Gb/s) and 1 rear USB-C port for connecting to Mac
- 1 rear HDMI input port
- 1 rear 3.5mm headphone jack
- SD/microSD 4.0 card reader
The dock/case also features a 5-inch 1280 x 720 display and a slot for an M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD module (not included). Made of plastic, the dock measures 5.71 x 5.16 x 2.13 inches (145 x 131 x 154 mm), and its front ports are positioned to mimic the original Macintosh’s floppy disk drive. It even has a little rainbow logo, air vents, and a retro aesthetic.
Although the dock was designed to fit perfectly with a Mac mini M4, it can be used with other Mac and Windows computers (you can leave the bottom panels in place in these cases). However, the computer must support Thunderbolt 5/4/3 or have a USB4 port.
Wokyis offers two models of its dock. The $170 model has an M.2 SSD slot that supports speeds up to 10Gbps. The $300 model has a faster M.2 SSD slot with 80Gbps support.
