From laptop to workstation

ASUS XG Station Pro is the sleek, stylish dock that connects your Ultrabook® or other Thunderbolt™ 3-equipped notebook computer to a desktop graphics card.* With XG Station Pro and a high-performance GPU you can render videos, run scientific models or build deep-learning applications ― it has all the performance you need. Co-designed with In Win, XG Station Pro looks great on any desk and, unlike other docks, has a powerful cooling system that drastically improves thermal performance.

* Not all graphics cards are compatible with all laptops. Check compatibility with each hardware and software provider.

All-new aluminum chassis

XG Station Pro features a totally redesigned aluminum chassis. Dressed in elegant Space Grey and carefully accented with pinhole ventilation and subtle logos, it's the perfect complement to modern premium notebooks. The finest industrial design favors both form and function, and XG Station Pro delivers in both respects. Despite its diminutive size, XG Station Pro will hold full-length, 2.7-slot graphics cards ― and because its side and top panels are easy to remove, installation is quick and effortless.

ASUS and In Win ingenuity, combined

To design XG Station Pro, ASUS collaborated closely with In Win — the well-known maker of premium computer chassis. Our engineers and designers created a device that is both functional and beautiful, with practical design elements and tasteful details. These include kink-resistant braided cabling, removable dust filters and, of course, In Win's signature aluminum metalworking.

Save desk space

Many external graphics docks employ internal power-supply units that add both bulk and heat — but not XG Station Pro. The all-new ASUS dock draws its power from a custom 330W external adapter. This greatly reduces the size of the dock, freeing up precious desk space. It also removes power-supply heat from the dock itself, and affords room for two large, efficient fans inside XG Station Pro.

Superior cooling, and silence

Dual 120mm exhaust fans are coupled with ample ventilation space, enabling XG Station Pro to deliver exceptional thermal performance that's easily tailored to your needs. Most eGPUs will rely on a static profile that spins fans at a constant RPM and doesn't offer any user control, but with XG Station Pro and an ASUS desktop graphics cards, fans of both devices can be independently controlled via the intuitive ASUS GPU Tweak II software* — providing the ability to reduce noise output to 0dB during light loads.

* GPU Tweak II is currently available for Windows operating systems. Other systems will run a default fan profile that includes 0dB operation without requiring user input.

Thunderbolt 3

Thunderbolt 3 transfers data up to 8X faster than USB 3.0, for speeds of up to 40Gbps, and offers 4X the video bandwidth of HDMI 1.4 — so it's the perfect way for XG Station Pro to connect to your notebook. To make that process as simple as possible, XG Station Pro comes with a 1.5m active Thunderbolt 3 cable, so you're good to go from the moment you open the box. Learn more about Thunderbolt 3 here.

Empowering graphics

With XG Station Pro it's easy to upgrade your Thunderbolt 3-equipped computer's GPU, saving the cost and inconvenience of having to purchase a whole new system.
