Our top 5 reasons why Logitech’s multi-purpose Logi Dock belongs on your desk
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many companies to quickly adapt to a work-from-home format to keep operations going. But three years on, with many people already used to doing so, returning to the office has effectively become a hurdle in and of itself.
However, there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t be well-prepared for both formats. To do that, you’ll naturally need tech that’s geared for it, like Logitech’s multi-purpose Logi Dock, and here are five reasons why this compact but helpful device really deserves a spot on your work desk.
#1: Working from home is still the norm
Although companies around the world are slowly transitioning back to conventional in-office operations, most have opted to do so gradually by first implementing a hybrid working format, with some even considering making them permanent. Accordingly, this means that most of our equipment will probably remain at home for the foreseeable future, which is where the Logi Dock comes in handy.
Once you’ve set it up, the Logi Dock provides fingertip access to common video conferencing settings like volume, microphone mute functions, and even video on/off features. Additionally, it also comes with a nifty feature that will allow you to join meetings with a single button press, eliminating the need for you to navigate through unnecessary menus each and every time you want to join in a Zoom call, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams session.
In short, it saves valuable time for both you and your team members, allowing you to get down to work as soon as possible.
#2: It lets you hear, and be heard. Clearly.
With video conferencing being the primary means of team communication nowadays, it’s crucial that you’re able to hear what’s being said at all times, and more importantly, that others can hear you clearly as well. Fortunately, you won’t have to worry about that with the Logi Dock.
Equipped with enterprise-grade speakerphones containing six beamforming microphones, the Logi Dock comes with in-built algorithms that automatically suppress background noise, and it is particularly useful if you happen to live close to a busy road where humming and droning noises from traffic are usually abundant.
Apart from suppressing background noise, the Logi Dock’s speakers also promise high-clarity voice output. Its delivery remains crystal-clear even at high volume, meaning you won’t have to worry about audio distortion, a common issue that most speakers on the market tend to face.
Not only is this great for your own collaborative tasks, but it also helps immensely if you need to coordinate projects between teams or even entire offices. After all, the last thing anyone wants to deal with when a deadline is close is miscommunication caused by a poor microphone and speaker.
#3: It’s a highly versatile device
Another benefit is its full compatibility with common video conferencing technologies like Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet, which works extremely well in tandem with its wide array of in-built ports that we’ll get into shortly. After all, there’s no point in having the best video conferencing tools if you aren’t compatible with them in the first place, and as many of us can attest to, the preferred platforms for video conferencing can often vary between companies, making this seemingly obvious addition an extremely valuable one in the long run.
Plus, the associated LogiTune app provides further utility by allowing you to select between several equaliser presets. Depending on whether you’re watching a podcast or listening to music while you work, you can adjust the Logi Dock’s audio output to fit the situation, letting you work (or relax!) at your best.
#4: It keeps your desk organised and tidy
Building on the above, the one other thing that many working adults might hate to see day in and day out is a cluttered workspace. Not only does it not look appealing to the eye, but sporting a messy desk with cables and wires strewn all about will naturally give off a poor impression regardless of whether you’re at home or in the office.
This is also partly why the Logi Dock’s wide array of ports is so useful to have. As a multi-purpose hub that works with the vast majority of cables used today, the Logi Dock helps you keep them all in one place, making your workspace neater and more organised. Specifically, you’ll be able to link it up to 5 different USB devices, 2 monitors, and it charges an attached laptop up to a 100W power rating - all at the same time.
As an added bonus, the other big plus of having everything in one spot is that it eliminates unnecessary complexities from the work equation. No longer will you need to waste time searching and switching between cables for your various devices, because the Logi Dock works and is able to connect to all of them simultaneously.
#5: It’s useful outside of the “office” too
Our fifth and final reason that you should have a Logi Dock on your desk is a much simpler and relatable one. As useful as it is for work purposes, its swath of features is just as useful to smoothen your personal lifestyle. Remember the dock’s high-quality speakers? With twin 55m neodymium audio drivers and a duo of bass radiators too, the Logi Dock is fully capable of playing your favourite tunes from connected devices or over Bluetooth.
To top it off, the handy Calendar Sync function and reminder light feature will help you keep track of the myriad appointments, business meetings and other client commitments you might have scheduled. After all, you really can’t afford to miss a beat in our fast-paced world.
So if you’re ready to declutter, improve your productivity, and be heard better than ever, the Logi Dock is now available for pre-order at S$670.
