New Asus gaming handheld dock debuts with Gigabit Ethernet and 4K 144Hz display out port

Asus has introduced another gaming handheld dock, the DG310. Compared to the DG300, it's a slightly lower-end option, featuring a six-port design and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 upstream port. That means the rated top transfer speed for it is 5Gbps instead of 10Gbps found on the previously released model.

The good part is that the ROG Bulwark Dock DG310 retains the Gigabit Ethernet port alongside the HDMI 2.1 port. With the latter, it brings 4K display output support at a 144Hz refresh rate. 

This dock has a fixed USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C cable that connects to the host, and Asus says that it's 60cm in length and has a 90-degree connector for a seamless setup. Alongside the HDMI 2.1 and Gigabit Ethernet port, this dock has one USB-C PD in and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports.

With the right adapter connected to the USB-C PD in port, this ROG gaming handheld dock can offer 80W of power output (Baseus PicoGo Pro AH22 curr. $41.79 on Amazon). There are RGB lights, and it's possible to switch between four lighting modes.

Other highlights include a sleek overall design and official compatibility with "every device in the ROG Xbox Ally" lineup. There's no word on the price and availability yet, but as it's a slightly lower-end option than the DG300, the Bulwark Dock DG310 should be more affordable. For reference, the former goes for $139.99 when not on sale.
