If you spend most of your day tethered to a laptop, the Baseus Spacemate RD1 Pro feels like the kind of dock that’s trying to replace half the clutter on your desk in one shot. At CES 2026, it quietly checks a bunch of boxes that other docks usually make you compromise on: high‑refresh 4K output, serious USB‑C power delivery, and now a Qi2 25W magnetic charger literally popping out of the top.​

On the surface, this is “just” another 15‑in‑1 docking station, but the mix of ports tells a more modern story. You get two HDMI ports for displays, four USB‑C ports, four USB‑A, gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card slots, plus that Qi2 wireless pad, which is how Baseus gets to its 15‑port claim. For most people, that means one box can handle everything: your laptop, monitor setup, webcam, mic, external SSD, card reader for a camera, and phone charging, with room left over for a keyboard dongle and random USB stick.​

Display support is usually where cheaper docks fall apart, but here the specs are surprisingly ambitious. The RD1 Pro can push 4K at 120Hz to a single monitor, or 4K at 60Hz across two displays, which covers both the “I want a buttery‑smooth main screen” crowd and the “I need dual 4K spreadsheets” crowd. Under the hood, you still get up to 10Gbps data transfer over USB‑C, which is enough for fast external SSDs and high‑res webcams without everything choking as soon as you join a video call.​

The power side is where this dock starts to feel more like a compact charging station than a passive hub. Baseus is using a built‑in 180W GaN module, allowing the dock to deliver up to 100W of USB‑C Power Delivery to a connected laptop while still powering peripherals. Total output is rated at up to 160W across the ports, which means you can realistically charge a laptop, top up a phone on the wireless pad, and run a few accessories without watching your notebook slowly lose battery under load.​

That wireless pad is the headline feature for a reason. It’s a retractable, magnetic Qi2.2 charger rated at up to 25W, so Qi2‑capable phones can snap into place on top of the dock and charge appreciably faster than on older 7.5W or 10W stands. Qi2 25W is essentially the new “fast lane” for wireless charging, offering up to 25W with stricter certification around heat and efficiency, and it’s designed to work across both Android and iOS rather than being locked to a single brand’s ecosystem.​

In day‑to‑day terms, Qi2 25W means something simple: more “plug‑like” wireless speeds. The Wireless Power Consortium says Qi2 25W setups can get a typical smartphone from 0 to 50 percent in roughly 30 minutes, putting them in the same ballpark as many wired fast chargers. For anyone who lives at their desk, that makes the RD1 Pro’s top surface less of a decorative plate and more of a “drop phone here between meetings and you’re fine” zone.​

Baseus is positioning this as a Windows‑first dock, which makes sense given the focus on extended multi‑monitor layouts and USB‑C power delivery for common ultrabooks. But it doesn’t lock out other platforms: the dock also works with macOS and Linux, so creators jumping between a MacBook and a PC tower, or developers running Linux on bare metal or in passthrough, can still plug into the same desk setup.​

There are a few quality‑of‑life touches that make it feel more like a central “base station” than a generic brick. Some variants shown in early coverage include a front display that can show power output and port activity, which is handy if you ever wonder where all your wattage is going when you’ve got everything plugged in. The vertical, tower‑style design also keeps the footprint relatively compact while freeing up the top for that wireless charging surface, so you’re not adding yet another slab to your already crowded desk.​

From a broader industry point of view, the RD1 Pro is a good snapshot of where docks are heading post‑USB‑C normalization. Instead of just copying the same port recipe, companies are starting to blend high‑spec display output, big‑boy GaN charging modules, and now Qi2 into single boxes that are meant to stay on your desk for years. Qi2 25W’s rapid adoption across brands, with hundreds of upcoming certified devices promised by the Wireless Power Consortium, suggests that putting a Qi2 pad on a dock won’t be a niche move for long.​

Of course, there’s a price tag to match the ambition. Baseus lists the Spacemate RD1 Pro at $259.99 in the US when it goes on sale around April, putting it up against premium multi‑display docks from more established PC accessory brands. That’s firmly “investment in your setup” money rather than an impulse buy, especially if you don’t actually need dual 4K, a 100W laptop feed, and the fancy wireless pad all at once.​

For a certain type of user, though, this makes a lot of sense. If you’re juggling a USB‑C laptop, an external display or two, fast wired storage, a wired network, and a modern Qi2‑capable phone, consolidating everything into one plug‑and‑forget dock is arguably worth the premium. Instead of a mess of separate chargers, stands, hubs, and dongles, the RD1 Pro tries to be the one box you keep plugged into the wall, and everything else — including your phone — just snaps into place around it.
