When I reviewed the towering Spacemate RD1 Pro 15-in-1 dock, my main piece of feedback was that Baseus needed to offer a flat alternative capable of sliding unobtrusively under a monitor stand. It turns out the company was operating on the exact same wavelength. Baseus has now listed the Spacemate RD1 Mini, a 10-in-1 USB-C docking station that trades the vertical orientation of its predecessor for a much more desk-friendly, horizontal design.
Baseus Spacemate RD1 Mini Specifications
The dock measures 112.5 x 71.9 x 40.9 mm. It comes with a built-in screen on the front panel. This display provides real-time information on charging wattage and data transfer status, and it is programmed to show alerts if it detects a connection error. Above the screen sits a physical button that turns the display on or off with a single press. Holding the button for two seconds activates a privacy lock, which immediately blanks the connected laptop screen and any external monitors.
For connectivity, the RD1 Mini splits its 10 ports between the front and the back. The front panel includes two 10Gbps USB-C ports for data and a dedicated USB-C port for power delivery. The rear houses three 5Gbps USB-A ports, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, a 120W DC power input, and two HDMI ports.
The HDMI ports support dual 4K video output at 60Hz. As is standard with most USB-C docks, multi-monitor behavior depends on your operating system. Windows machines support extended dual displays, while macOS limits users to either a single extended monitor or mirrored dual screens due to Apple’s lack of MST support.
Power is handled by an included 120W GaN adapter. The dock supports up to 100W of total output to connected devices, managed by an internal power allocation system. If you are charging a laptop and a secondary device at the same time, the dock sends up to 65W to the host computer and 30W to the front USB-C port. If the front charging port is not in use, the full 100W is routed to the host laptop.
Pricing and Availability
The Baseus Spacemate RD1 Mini is currently listed on Amazon, though it is not yet available to purchase. Baseus has not announced an official release date or published a product page on its own website. Pricing is also unconfirmed; Amazon price trackers indicate the dock was initially listed at $109.99 before changing to $169.99.
In related news, Baseus has recently launched the MC2 NC clip-on earbuds with up to 50dB ANC, LDAC support, built-in AI features, and up to 60 hours of battery life.
