Beelink has taken the chassis from its Me Mini desktop and turned it into something entirely different. The Beelink EX Mate Pro is a USB4 v2 docking station that packs four M.2 NVMe slots, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 6.0, and a full speakerphone system into a 9.9 x 9.9 x 9.8 cm (3.9 x 3.9 x 3.9 inch) cube. It connects to a host laptop over a single USB4 v2 upstream port capable of 80 Gbps transfers, putting it in Thunderbolt 5 territory for raw bandwidth.
The four M.2 PCIe 4.0 x1 slots can accept up to 32 TB of NVMe storage total, which makes the EX Mate Pro an appealing compact storage expansion box for laptop users who need local bulk capacity. The dock also carries a second USB4 v2 downstream port for chaining peripherals like an external GPU enclosure, one USB 3.0 Type-A port, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.0 output, and the 2.5GbE jack. A 140W internal power supply handles the dock itself and delivers up to 96W of USB Power Delivery back to the host laptop, so a single cable can charge most machines while providing all of these peripherals at once. The downstream USB4 v2 port is limited to 15W, so power-hungry accessories on that port will need their own supply.
Then there is the speakerphone angle. Beelink built an internal speaker, a four-microphone array, and top-panel controls for volume, play/pause, and mic mute directly into the dock, with Bluetooth 6.0 enabling standalone wireless speaker use without a wired connection. It is an unusual combination for a docking station, but it means one less device on the desk for anyone who takes frequent calls. The Beelink EX Mate Pro is available now at $199 (€185).
