Mac mini M4 Pro Dock — Thoughts on Beelink’s new Mate mini?

[Pf2025]

Also, for non technical users (like myself), the Beelink Mate Mini “A” appears targeted towards users with the base Mac Mini M4 with Thunderbolt 4 ports.

The Mate Mini “B” appears to be targeted towards users with the Mac Mini Pro (or higher) with Thunderbolt 5 ports that can take advantage of the higher transfer speeds.

I’ve ordered the B version, possibly delivered by the end of the month. UK site says shipped from uk warehouse so I shouldn’t get hammered for duty and VAT ?

Sounds promising. I’d contact Beelink customer support if there’s any doubt on the shipping source, and potential extra cost.

I’ve never dealt with international purchases. I don’t know if I’m liable for even more cost, if the unit is defective and needs to be returned or replaced.

So, I’m just suggesting be aware of the source location. And maybe buy without ssd’s installed if shipping internationally.

Best of luck!

I contacted them about duty and vat, they replied with expected delivery but no mention of I’ve got to pay duty and vat.

I’m only getting the dock as I’ve got an SSD I am using in a ACASIS dock.
