Baseus is expanding its Spacemate lineup with two new workstation docks, and both have now landed at Amazon via the brand’s official storefront with 35% launch discounts. The smaller Spacemate RD1 Mini is a compact 10-in-1 model at $109.99 shipped, while the larger RD1 Plus steps things up with 14 ports at $169.99 shipped right now. These carry a $170 and a $260 price tag, respectively, so you’re looking at a solid 35% off launch deal. Both of these docks can turn a single USB-C connection into a full desktop setup without leaving you with a pile of separate adapters and chargers. Head below for a closer look and more details.
Baseus’ new Spacemate RD1 Docking Stations now up for grabs
The RD1 Mini is the more portable of the two, with a phone-sized design that still manages to pack in dual HDMI outputs for running two 4K displays at 60Hz on Windows machines and Macs. You also get two 10Gb/s USB-C ports, three USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and a dedicated USB-C charging output. Baseus includes a 120W GaN charger in the box, with up to 100W available for the connected laptop depending on whatever else you have plugged in.
There’s also a built-in smart display on the front that shows things like active connections, charging output, and data activity, plus a multifunction button that can instantly lock the connected computer when you step away. This button is similar to the one you get on the Baseus Nomos NU1 Air Spacemate 12-in-1 dock we tested earlier. It’s a nice little extra for a dock this compact, especially if you regularly move between a laptop-only setup and a proper desk.
The Spacemate RD1 Plus is the more serious workstation option. It packs a built-in 140W GaN power system and can deliver up to 120W across connected devices, while PowerTune 3.0 dynamically splits that power depending on what you have plugged in. Display support also gets a bump, with one HDMI output capable of pushing 4K at up to 120Hz, or dual 4K displays at 60Hz on supported Windows machines.
You also get a much broader mix of connectivity here, including multiple 10Gb/s USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card slots, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The built-in display can automatically rotate depending on whether you position the dock horizontally or vertically, keeping charging and connection information readable either way.
Both the Spacemate RD1 Mini and the RD1 Plus docks have just hit the scene, and you can snag them for $109.99 shipped and $169.99 shipped.
