======================================================================

Logitech has revealed a new docking station hub and desk booking system to 
help take the pressure of companies looking to support an easy hybrid working 
culture. 

The Logi Dock Flex promises to be a fully-featured docking station for those 
working in a desk-sharing setup, offering up a single USB connection for 
opening up a range of options to workers bringing their laptop into the 
office. 

That USB connects the laptop to the Logi Dock Flexs 8-inch display, its trio 
of front-facing (read: easy-access) USB ports, and a second trio of rearward 
USB ports. Logi Dock Flex 

Beyond connection with peripherals, the Dock Flex can link into a 
dual-display setup, the network connection, and deliver 100 watts of power to 
keep even the most hungry mobile workstations fed. Read more

Logitech hopes that the docks screen will serve as a workers personal notice 
board, with options for background image personalization and more 
importantly, meeting and calendar integration. 

This all works with the Logi Tune app, which companies can use to display 
messages on the screen such as desk availability. IT departments can also 
remotely tap into the device to manage settings and keep the dock in line 
with their hybrid working policies and network settings. 

The Logi Dock Flex is set to go on sale in Fall 2023 for $699, but companies 
looking to try out the desk-booking service can do so today for free through 
the Sync management portal. 

However, insights, alerts, and floor plan maps are considered premium 
features, which will require an ongoing subscription. For now, though, they 
remain in beta (for free) until July 1, 2024. Here are the best business 
laptops you can get for hybrid working
