Which mini PCs it fits

The dock connects to the computer over Thunderbolt 5, so the machine needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. The GMKtec M8, HP Z2 Mini G1a and MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro fit with a caveat: each connects through a USB-C port, but its USB4 port runs the dock at 40 Gbps, not 80. The GMKtec NucBox G3 Plus, HP Z2 Mini G1i and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 do not fit, because none has a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. We have not confirmed the fit for the GMKtec NucBox G10 or MINISFORUM AtomMan G1 Pro.

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

Before you buy

On the GMKtec M8, HP Z2 Mini G1a and MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro the dock runs at 40 Gbps, not 80, so you will not get full Thunderbolt 5 speed. Before buying, check that the USB-C port you plan to use is USB4 or Thunderbolt. For the NucBox G10 and AtomMan G1 Pro we have not confirmed the fit.

Common questions

Will it run at full Thunderbolt 5 speed on my mini PC?

Not on the GMKtec M8, HP Z2 Mini G1a or MINISFORUM AI X1 Pro, which run it at 40 Gbps on their USB4 port, not 80.

Does it work with a mini PC that has no Thunderbolt or USB4 port?

No. The dock needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port, so the GMKtec NucBox G3 Plus, HP Z2 Mini G1i and Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 cannot use it.

What network and card slots does it have?

It has one RJ45 Ethernet port running at 2.5GbE, plus a 3.5mm combo audio jack and UHS-II SD and microSD card slots.
