Wokyis M5 dock blends nostalgic Mac Plus aesthetics with M4 Mac mini power, adding a 5-inch screen, USB-A ports, and SSD storage. AppleInsider calls it a “retro marvel” that transcends mere decoration by integrating a functional 720p display and port expansion. The $169.99 USB-C model offers 10Gbps speeds, while the upcoming $339.99 Thunderbolt 5 version promises 80Gbps for future-proofing. Both models retain the Mac mini’s ports via a removable base plate, though the 10Gbps variant’s bandwidth constraints limit simultaneous high-speed device use.

The 5-inch screen, praised for “Retina-quality” 290 PPI, excels for notifications but lacks brightness for heavy tasks. Storage relies on M.2 NVMe slots, with the 10Gbps model capping at 10Gbps total throughput. Critics note the USB-C dock’s charm but urge patience for the Thunderbolt 5 upgrade. Where to buy: Ships now from Wokyis ($169.99) and Amazon; Thunderbolt 5 units delayed until October.
