Topfeel launches affordable G1 eGPU dock series with support for storage expansion

Topfeel has introduced two new eGPU docks in China, the G1 and G1 Pro. Among the two, the G1 has an open design, which makes it compatible with pretty much all the desktop GPUs. The open nature of the dock also allows it to accommodate an ATX PSU, but the company recommends an SFX power supply to get a sleeker look.

As for the Topfeel G1 Pro, it's an enclosed eGPU dock, and this design restricts what the docking setup can hold in terms of the PSU. To be specific, the company says that it can accommodate an SFX PSU, and Topfeel notes that the optional bundled PSU can power both the GPU and the connected mini PC at the same time (GMK EVO-X1 with 32 GB RAM and OCuLink port curr. $819.99 on Amazon).

However, it's worth noting that the power delivery option to the mini PC maxes out at 140 W. For connectivity, the Topfeel G1 and G1 Pro docks rely on OCuLink, which is known for lower GPU performance degradation than USB4 and even Thunderbolt 5.

Another notable aspect of the Topfeel G1 and G1 Pro docks is support for two 2.5-inch SATA drives. This allows the docking station to offer storage expansion, and the G1 Pro can also accommodate two 120 mm fans, offering additional cooling in the enclosure.

Regarding the price, the G1 starts at CNY 599, around $84, while the G1 Pro costs CNY 799, about $112. Topfeel offers the option to bundle the docks with a 600 W SFX power supply. There's no word on global launch yet, but most of Topfeel's products eventually become available on AliExpress.
