What is a Logi Dock? Very simply, it combines the functions of a USB hub, a conference speakerphone, a wireless speaker, and a laptop charger. With just one cable to work with, it's easier for me to plug in and plug out of my workstation - a small quality-of-life improvement that has an unexpected impact on how I work. Whenever I have to head out for external meetings, I don't spend precious minutes pulling USB cables out and doing double-takes about whether I've removed all the cables safely.

I also love the LED light around the underside of the Dock. It flashes gently when a meeting is coming up - a much more unobtrusive way to keep me on the clock compared to pop-up notifications from my calendar app.
The little touch buttons on the top of the Logi Dock add yet another layer of convenience. The Dock is certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, and the buttons work great in all of these apps.
Logi Dock automatically recognised Microsoft Teams and prompted me through a painless set-up.
One unintended consequence of having the Logi Dock at home was the gradual transformation of my desk and small home office into a conference call hub.
