The Mate Pro ships with a portable storage bag, a user’s manual, a power cord, an “80Gbps dual USB-C cable”, and an HDMI cable. There’s no specific software for the docking station, and it just works with the programs you have on your machine, thanks to its standard USB4 v2 interface.
Beelink sells the “EX Mate Pro All-In-One Docking Station” on its store for $199 plus shipping, and it should eventually become available on the company’s Amazon and AliExpress stores. As a side note, I was offered a unit for review, but I’m not sure I’ll go ahead since I currently lack the hardware to test features like 80 Gbps USB, eGPU support, and quad SSD. Let me know if you feel a review would be useful nonetheless.
