Tucked in the corner of the ID-Cooling booth here at Computex 2026, a brand called Wokyis is showing off some seriously striking Mac Mini and Mac Studio docks. Its M5 Macintosh dock for the M4 Mac Mini is already for sale on Amazon in 10 Gbps and 80 Gbps flavors, offering retro aesthetics and a 1280 x 720 display, along with a spot on the back for an M.2 SSD.<\/p>\n

But Wokyis also showed off NES-themed docks for the Mac Studio and Mac Mini, which are expected to head to Kickstarter in mid-July. The G7 Retro Mac Studio dock has a larger 7-inch flip-up screen (sadly, still 720p) behind NES-themed controller buttons on top, with the D pad controlling volume, screen brightness, and media playback, and the B and A buttons handling copy and paste duties. The \u201cStart\u201d button appears to turn off the screen, while the \u201cSelect\u201d button takes a screenshot. Like the M5, the G7 will come in 10 Gbps and 80 Gbps (Thunderbolt 5) variants, support an M.2 SSD (up to 2280) in a slot under the screen, and up to 36W of PD power. The Thunderbolt variant will support up to 8K video at 60 Hz, via DisplayPort and HDMI.<\/p>\n

Aside from the card reader slots on the front (including 1 Gbps CF Express), you get four 10 Gbps USB ports (2 each, A and C), and three or two USB 2.0 ports (one fewer on the 80 Gbps model, according to the company\u2019s specs table), along with an audio jack. The Kickstarter notification signup page promises a $199 MSRP, with an early discount of 45% ($109). Presumably, that\u2019s the starting price for the 10 Gbps. I\u2019d expect the 80 Gbps model to have an MSRP of around $349 or more, as the smaller-screen 80 Gbps M5 sells for $339 on Amazon.<\/p>\n

As a nerd of a certain age, I\u2019m all for this kind of old-school hardware nostalgia paired with modern computing hardware. I have to wonder whether Nintendo\u2019s lawyers might take an interest, but Acermagic did a similar thing with its X5 mini PC earlier this year,…<\/p>\n
