We were recently tipped off to a new multi-function digital dock coming from RayCue that looks exactly like a mini retro Apple computer. So you know our interests were immediately piqued.
So what exactly is the RayCue 128K Dock? It is a multi-function digital dock for your desktop that serves as an all-in-one home for your digital needs.
What needs exactly? If it involves a cable or a memory card, it probably connects to this RayCue device in some way.
RayCue is known for making premium digital docks and hubs with a modern style. To see them dip into the stylized retro niche is kind of an interesting departure for their product line.
The Raycue 128k Dock looks a lot like a retro Apple Macintosh. It’s kinda like the miniaturized version of the Checkmate Monitor Modular Display that we recently covered.
But besides looking pretty great, this thing also has so many inputs and outputs to serve a ton of digital needs for your desktop setup.
RayCue 128K Dock
At first glance, the things you’d probably notice right away is that the RayCue 128k Dock is both a bluetooth speaker and a digital photo album.
The small 3:4 digital screen can display any content of your liking. So that can be a family photo or your studio logo. Whatever you want. It can display a clock or calendar as well.
Obviously, we are curious if you can rig it up to play games on this thing. Surely there’s a way to connect something like the Polymega Modular Consolizer to play on that tiny screen.
The RayCue 128K Dock features a wide variety of inputs and outputs to serve pretty much any digital need you might have for connecting your various digital devices on your desktop.

RayCue 128K Pocket
If the 128k Dock is more than you need, The RayCue 128K Pocket is a mini digital hub that has many of the same inputs and outputs without the fluff of the digital screen and bluetooth speaker.
Appropriately, the 128K Dock takes the appearance of a retro Apple computer, and the 128K Pocket takes the appearance of a retro keyboard.
