Cabletime Launches the ScreenDock 5.5-inch 720p Portable Display and Docking Station

Cabletime, a design-driven digital connectivity brand, today announced the Kickstarter launch of Cabletime ScreenDock, an 8-in-1 USB-C docking station with an integrated 5.5-inch 720p companion display.

Traditional docks primarily add ports. ScreenDock adds ports and creates a dedicated place for information that users want to keep visible without allowing it to take over the main workspace. App windows already running on the connected computer can be moved onto ScreenDock just as they would be moved to an additional monitor. The result is a simple working principle: the main screen handles the primary task, while the companion display keeps supporting information in view.

GPD Box Mini PC: $1,452 Base Price—PCIe 5.0 x8 MCIO Port Skips Intel Core Ultra X7 SKU

We previously covered the announcement of the GPD Box, a new Panther Lake mini PC that features an MCIO 8i port and dual USB4 v2.0 ports for expanded connectivity with eGPUs and other high-bandwidth applications. Now, the GPD Box has finally launched on Indiegogo with a starting price of HK$11,377 ($1,452.25 converted). The base configuration is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H with 32 GB LPDDR5-8533 RAM and a 1 TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD. The next level up upgrades the CPU to the Core Ultra X7 358H for HK$12,020 ($1,534 converted), and the bundles with the Box mini PC and the G2 MCIO eGPU Dock come in at HK$14,394 ($1,837 converted) for the Core Ultra 7 356H version and HK$15,036 ($1,919 converted) for the X7 358H variant. The biggest difference between the Core Ultra X7 358H and the Ultra 7 356H is the significantly more powerful Arc B390 iGPU in the former—importantly, there is no MCIO connection on the Core Ultra X7 358H version of the Box, leaving it with only USB4 for eGPU connections.

Despite its compact chassis, at just 175 × 134 × 39.5 mm, the GPD Box has decent I/O capabilities, with the highlight of the show being the MCIO 8i port that allows for eGPU expansion with minimal bandwidth loss compared to USB4 and Thunderbolt connections. According to GPD, the maximum bidirectional bandwidth of the GPD Box's MCIO port is 512 Gbps, which effectively matches a native PCIe 5.0 x8 cable connection. Notably, while the G2 eGPU dock does include a PSU with an 800 W ATX 3.1 PSU with two GPU power cables, you will need to bring your own GPU if you buy the bundle with the dock. The G2 dock can also be purchased separately via Indiegogo at a starting price of $385. The GPD Box itself also features dual 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports with link aggregation support. For wireless support, there is Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E, while the physical I/O includes 2× USB4 V2 Type-C ports, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, and a 3.5 mm audio combo jack on the front. The rear I/O has a DP 2.1 UHBR20 port, 1× HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, 2× RJ45 ports with 2.5 Gbps speeds, 2× USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and the MCIO 8i port.

Sparkle Showcases New eGPU Enclosures and Docks at Computex 2026

Sparkle introduced a handful new eGPU products at Computex 2026. We begin our tour with the Sparkle eGPU Studio-G Ultra 850. Designed for high-end graphics cards, including the RTX 5090, the enclosure packs a 4-slot graphics card up to 33 cm in length, and features an 850 W power supply with a 12V-2x6 connection to the graphics card that's capable of 600 W continuous power delivery. It features a Thunderbolt 5 interface, and is capable of 120 Gbps Rx + 40 Gbps Tx asymmetric mode, or 80 Gbps + 80 Gbps Tx/Rx symmetric mode.

Next up, is the Sparkle eGPU Creator Station, a pre-built external GPU that features a Thunderbolt 5 interface with asymmetric mode, just like the eGPU Studio-G Ultra, but it encloses an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB GPU. This is more than an eGPU, there's also some downstream I/O, such as two 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A ports, two downstream Thunderbolt 5 ports, and 1 GbE wired LAN. The GPU puts out four full-sized DisplayPorts, but one of the two downstream Thunderbolt ports has DisplayPort passthrough shared with one of these full-sized ports. The Creator Station comes in five body color options, including silver, white, red, blue, and gold.

Satechi Introduces DotDisk 80 Gbps SSD Enclosure With Active Cooling

Satechi has launched the DotDisk, a compact M.2 NVMe enclosure with a USB4 V2 interface running at up to 80 Gbps. Satechi isn't new to the SSD enclosure space, having previously launched products like the compact Mini NVMe SSD in 2024, the USB4 Slim NVMe SSD enclosure last year, and the versatile Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock docking station shown at CES in January. This new addition can accommodate a single M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive and supports capacities up to 8 TB, with the slot being user-accessible for later upgrades. The enclosure is made from milled aluminium with an integrated cooling fan. Active cooling in something this small is worth noting, as most compact enclosures rely on passive heat dissipation and can throttle under sustained load. A thermal pad is included to help seat the drive properly against the heatsink.

The USB-C port covers Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, USB4 V2, and USB4, so it'll work with most modern Macs and PCs without adapter hassle. A Thunderbolt 5 cable ships in the box alongside a magnetic screwdriver for installation. OS compatibility covers macOS Sonoma 14.6 and later, Windows 11, and Linux. Worth mentioning that the enclosure is not compatible with SSDs equipped with heatsinks, double-sided and 2230/2242/2260 sizes. The Satechi DotDisk comes in silver and Space Black and is available now at satechi.com for $199.99. No SSD is included.

Microsoft Updates ROG Xbox Ally X with Auto Super Resolution and Docked Mode Enhancements

Microsoft has just announced a new set of features coming to the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally handheld gaming PCs, addressing game quality, docked mode quality-of-life, Game Bar improvements, and more. The most notable improvement coming to the ROG Xbox Ally is Auto Super Resolution, or Auto SR, which is now in Preview in the Xbox Game Bar. Auto SR, as the name suggests, is a similar to AMD and NVIDIA's FSR and DLSS, allowing game upscaling to increase frame rates without losing image quality. On the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X, Auto SR is only available in docked mode for now, where it will automatically upscale the game's image to deliver a sharper image, fit for a bigger screen, when docked to something like a TV. This should effectively make for a smoother transition between gaming on the TV and in handheld mode, since you won't have to change resolution or upscaling settings when plugging the ROG Xbox Ally in. Microsoft has an in-depth blog explaining Auto SR in more detail.

[Editor's note: Our in-depth review of the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X is now live]

Aside from Auto SR, the ROG Xbox Ally also gets the gamepad cursor we previously covered, streamlined controller pairing for docked play, a display widget in Game Bar, where you can quickly adjust display settings, and a handful of automatic enhancements for smart TVs. For starters, when players connect to an external display or TV, the ROG Xbox Ally will now turn off the built-in screen and default to the TV for output. If the connected TV happens to be a smart TV from Samsung, LG, or Vizio, the ROG Xbox Ally will automatically enable certain features on the TV, like Auto Low Latency Mode, Auto Game Mode, or Game/PC Mode. The library consolidation features we previously covered have also officially been added to the Xbox PC App, allowing you to use the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally in handheld mode exclusively if you would like to.
