Wokyis unveils the M6 dock for the Mac mini, introducing a mini display, SSD support, and hardware controls to enhance portability and expandability beyond Apple’s native offerings.
Wokyis has updated its retro-style dock for the Mac mini, adding a small integrated screen and extra storage support to address two of Apple’s more persistent limitations: a narrow port selection and costly internal SSD upgrades. The new M6 model keeps the basic idea of turning the compact desktop into something that resembles a miniature all-in-one, while refining the design and adding hardware controls on the front. According to Notebookcheck, the dock connects to the Mac mini over USB-C and is intended to make the machine feel more like a self-contained desktop than a bare metal box.
The front of the unit carries a 5-inch panel with a 1,280 x 720 resolution. That is far too small to serve as a primary display, but it can be useful for status information, widgets or simple system read-outs. Behind a magnetic rear cover sits an M.2 2280 slot for SSD expansion, giving users a cheaper way to add fast local storage than Apple’s own configuration options. Wokyis has also added four buttons and a rotary dial on the front, which can be used for tasks such as playback and volume control, adding a degree of physical interaction that the Mac mini itself lacks.
Notebookcheck reports that the M6 dock also includes four USB-A ports, SD and microSD card readers, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Wokyis says the accessory is not limited to Apple’s desktop: it also works with MacBooks, Mac Studio, Windows PCs, Raspberry Pi boards and some Android smartphones. The company lists the price at $169.99, placing it in the same general category as other premium desktop docks, but with a clearer emphasis on presentation and storage expansion than on raw port density.
The design follows Wokyis’ earlier M5 dock for the M4 Mac mini, which paired a 5-inch 720p display with an M.2 NVMe slot and multiple USB, card-reader and audio connections. That earlier model was sold in variants with 10Gbps and 80Gbps SSD support, and trade coverage from Macworld and Tom’s Hardware noted that it was meant to evoke the look of a classic Macintosh. Wokyis now appears to be extending that formula to newer Apple hardware, while Apple’s own Mac mini line continues to prioritise compactness and performance over expansion, even as the latest versions add faster chips and newer wireless standards.
