Really neat addition to the Mac mini. When paired with a monitor, you can use it to display cool graphics or a show/movie while you work. I like to have “Adventure Time” or some cool visualizers off YouTube playing on that, while I produce on my larger monitor. For some company I have my Dasai Mega Mochi on the other side of the monitor for another hint of cool/chill. If you’re a creative & doing some vlogging it adds a little more character to your workstation - you can display your art/gifs/photos/etc. Lots of ports - 1 on the front for usb-c, 2 for USB, and 1 SD/1 micro SD, 2 on the back usb-c in addition to the direct line to your Mac mini, and 2 more for USB. Keeps fairly cool at least with short term use so far - vents in the back (I’ll update if anything changes). It’s fits snugly on top of the Mac mini and thankfully doesn’t take up too much space on your desk. Simple retro Mac power on/power off button on the front. Obviously the old retro Mac look is top tier & for the cost, I’m very pleased with the ease of use, how sturdy it feels, and what you can do with it! Delivered pretty quickly, though with a tiny bit of damage to the packaging, everything arrived in tact. Definitely recommend for any creative workstation or just to spruce up your work desk a little! Read more
This is exactly what I needed to be able to use USB-A devices with the mac mini. Apple took all of these ports off leaving only the USB-C ports which require adapters that break. This WOKYIS M5 RETRO DOCK STATION provides badly needed USB-A ports, organizes the cables and wires and keeps everything arranged neatly; PLUS it WORKS AND LOOKS GREAT on my desk! This was GREAT IDEA to make! Thank you to whoever created this - GENIUS answer to the mac mini limitations! Read more
As a long-time Apple fan, I couldn't resist this retro Macintosh-inspired dock. It’s not just a hub; it’s a piece of art for my desk. The build quality is surprisingly premium, and it perfectly complements my new M4 Mac mini. The 5-inch screen is the star of the show—I use it as a dedicated system monitor and a digital clock. It makes my setup feel like a miniature version of a classic workstation. If you care about your desk aesthetics, this is a must-have. Read more
Love this. I considered getting the upgraded 80gig, but the 10gig does just fine. My Mac looks great on my desk. Wish there were a few more thunderbolt ports though. Read more
This serves my purpose. I use it with a raspberry pi which can easily fit in the bottom where a mac mini would normally go. i also use it as an external monitor with my macbook and pc laptops via usb c. and it works just fine. the only things i don't like about it, is that there are NO SPEAKERS included in the unit, so you'll have to figure a sound solution to fit your needs. i was able to find a pair small usb speakers with a 3.5mm headphone cable, which i plug into the back of the hub, and i house the speakers in the bottom with the raspberry pi, and it works just fine. i also wish they included a front hub cover, which i think would look good when the front I/O isn't in use. overall it's good for what i need it for, but wish it was substantially cheaper, especially since it doesn't include speakers.

I am extremely disappointed with this product. The retro design is attractive in the photos, but the real item does not match the advertised quality. The 5-inch display is very dim, has poor viewing angles, and the colors look washed out. It is definitely not HD as claimed. Functionally, it performs even worse. The dock constantly loses connection with my Mac mini M4. USB ports disconnect randomly, the SD/Micro SD reader fails to read cards reliably, and the M.2 NVMe slot causes repeated errors. Instead of improving my setup, it created constant interruptions. The build quality also feels cheap. The plastic housing is flimsy, the buttons feel loose, and the device heats up quickly during normal use. The fan noise is louder than expected for a product at this price point. Read more
I thought the screen has green stuck pixels at the top right corner but it turned out that it is MacOS camera privacy indicator in full screen mode. If you see a green dot at the top right corner, it is not defect. The dock looks cool and nostalgic. The quality is very nice. The screen color looks a little washed but good enough. Read more
If you’re a Mac fan and you love retro - this is fie you! Love how it looks and how it works. I tested on Windows laptop , Macbook and Raspberry Pi and they worked ! Looks great and the multi ports are certainly useful and practical. A must for all Mac fans! Read more
