The Logi Dock is built for your work-from-home setup

Logitech has just unveiled a new all-in-one dock it's designed for your work-from-home setup. You can connect up to five USB devices and two monitors to the Logi Dock. On top of that, you can charge your laptop with it, too. All of them are just sharing a single cable connection.

Aside from that, the Logi Dock is also a giant speaker geared for online meeting use. There are controls on the dock that allows you to quickly mute or disable video on apps like Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. It even has a built-in noise-cancelling speakerphone, so you don't need a dedicated mic or headset to join meetings.
