Meetings-first hardware
720p vs 1080p webcam, microphone noise suppression, and fan acoustics decide daily satisfaction. If you live on video, budget for peripherals or laptops tuned for quiet cooling.
Docking and USB-C reality
One-cable setups are great—confirm power delivery watts, external monitor limits, and whether you need Thunderbolt. See USB-C hub guide if you travel between home and office.
FAQ
