I'm not sure which model of that Caldigit dock you have but most modern TB3/4 docks work with USB4. Some older docks or even cheap new docks using older Thunderbolt 3 Bridge chip, may not work with all USB4 Devices. My Startech TB3 dock, purchased back in 2018, does not work either but my Plugable TBT4-UDZ works fine with HX99G and Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 2023 with RTX 3070 Ti (Lenovo updated one Type-C Port to USB4 with Firmware Update).

Other than that, looks good, and a painless +$30 to get to 32 GB of RAM.

My biggest gripe is that it was advertised with USB4 compatibility, but there are very few things that I own that are compatible. My Caldigit hub is not recognized and I couldn't get display out. Fortunately, that's not my use case, but I doubt Minisforum will ever fix the USB4 issues.

I was hoping this would simply be a BIOS issue, but that has been a bit of a disaster for the UM773 as well. Minisforum had "blended" there support for the UM773 and the previous UM690, posting 690 BIOSes under the 773 area. There had only been one update (from 1.06 to 1.08) which did not fix the issue. Now you can only get the 1.06 version on their website (which makes me wonder if the 1.08 that I'm running is okay). I'm leaving well enough alone for now.
(Don't get me wrong - I like Minisforum overall. But considering how quickly they churn out new models, I think they need to focus a bit more effort on supporting the existing ones)
