- Topfeel G1 and G1 Pro power both GPU and mini PC via shared power supply
- Aluminum frames and dual-fan support set the Pro model apart
- Oculink connection ensures high GPU bandwidth without proprietary limitations or bottlenecks
Topfeel, a Chinese manufacturer best known for its oddly memorable name, has entered the external graphics market with two new OCulink eGPU docks, the G1 and G1 Pro.
Designed to enhance the performance of mini PCs, these docking stations bring desktop graphics power to compact systems.
Rather than acting as simple expansion enclosures, they can physically house both a GPU and a mini PC in a single configuration, turning them into a unified small-scale computing unit.
Transforming compact PCs into high-performance workstations
The integrated power system can power both the mini PC and graphics card, allowing the combined setup to operate as a standalone computing unit.
Both the G1 and G1 Pro rely on the OCulink interface (PCIe 4.0 x4), ensuring full compatibility with standard desktop GPUs rather than locking users into proprietary connections.
This means that docking stations can turn even a modest mini PC into a powerful workstation capable of running high-end graphics cards.
Both models are made from aluminum alloy and available in Moon Silver and Sky Gray finishes.
The G1 adopts an open expansion structure that exposes internal components for easier access.
The Pro model uses a fully enclosed frame with mounting for two 120mm fans to improve airflow and cooling efficiency.
Storage options are also included, with both models supporting up to two 2.5-inch SATA drives.
The G1 Pro’s slightly larger frame and cooling system make it feel more like a condensed desktop computer than a peripheral.
Topfeel’s pricing strategy keeps the G1 series relatively affordable. The base G1 costs around $82, with a version including a 600W PSU priced at $137.
The G1 Pro costs around $109, or $165 when bundled with a power brick.
Both models are currently available for pre-order in China, although the product pages apparently failed to load on the company’s website.
