"Apple's Mac mini M4 is absurdly powerful for its size, but connecting anything to it requires a patience-testing game of dongle Tetris. The Wokyis M5 fixes this the fun way, wrapping your diminutive desktop in a retro Macintosh shell that's actually packed with ports and storage. Yes, the naming is confusing since there's no Mac mini M5 yet, but the compatibility story is straightforward: this works with the M4, M2, and M1 Mac minis, plus any Mac with Thunderbolt 3/4/5 ports."
"Inside that beige plastic homage to computing history, you'll find legitimately fast 10Gbps connectivity on both USB-A and USB-C ports, card readers that hit 312MB/s with UHS-II cards, and a tool-free M.2 enclosure with included thermal pads for proper heat management. The 5-inch screen displaying "hello" works as a proper 720p panel for desktop widgets, music lyrics, photo frames, or system stats."
The Wokyis M5 envelops the Mac mini in a retro Macintosh shell while adding abundant connectivity and storage. Compatibility includes Mac mini M4, M2, M1 and any Mac with Thunderbolt 3/4/5. The front panel provides two USB-A 10Gbps ports, one USB-C 10Gbps port, and SD plus microSD slots that reach UHS-II speeds of 312MB/s. A tool-free M.2 enclosure accepts NVMe drives from 2230 to 2280 up to 8TB and includes thermal pads; testing shows around 900 MB/s with quality NVMe drives. A 5-inch 720p "hello" screen serves widgets and system info, and a removable bottom panel preserves access to the Mac mini's own ports.
