Which mini PCs it fits

The dock connects over Thunderbolt 5, so the machine needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. The ASUS ROG NUC 16 Edition 20, Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max) and BOSGAME M5 connect through a USB-C port, but their USB4 port runs the dock at 40 Gbps, not 80. The GMKtec NucBox M5 Plus, HP Z2 Mini G1i and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 have no USB4 or Thunderbolt port, so it does not fit them. For the GMKtec NucBox G10 and MINISFORUM AtomMan G1 Pro, we have not confirmed it fits.

Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Common questions

Will it work on a mini PC without Thunderbolt or USB4?

No. It needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port, and the GMKtec NucBox M5 Plus, HP Z2 Mini G1i and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 do not have one, so it does not fit them.

Does it add 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

Yes, it has one 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. On the ASUS ROG NUC 16 Edition 20, Mac Studio (M5 Max) and BOSGAME M5, the link to the dock runs at 40 Gbps, not 80.
