The HP USB-C dock G5 is down to $110 on Amazon after a 52% discount. That's more than $100 off a compact yet powerful device, but the discount might not be around for long. Snag it up while it's still available. See at Amazon Starting with what matters the most – ports. This compact box gives you four USB‑A ports, a USB‑C port up front for data transfer and power (up to 15W output), an audio jack, and wired connectivity options like HDMI 2.0 and dual DisplayPort 1.4. It covers everything from essentials like a mouse, keyboard, and webcam. You can even connect up to three monitors for a more expansive and productive workspace. Take video meetings on one while having work documents open on the other, or game while also chatting with friends on the side — options are endless. There's an RJ-45 Ethernet port for a stable, wired internet connection, as well. You won't have to worry about your Wi-Fi signals dropping during important tasks. It even saves you from those dreaded IT department visits. HP packs it with features like PXE Boot, MAC address pass-through, and Wake-on-LAN. These let tech teams access, manage, and troubleshoot your device remotely. For example, if your company needs to install new software or fix an existing issue, the IT team will handle all complications in the background while you keep working. The dock is manufactured by HP, but supports universal compatibility. It works with both HP and non-HP USB-C and Thunderbolt-enabled laptops. It's a flexible option for homes with multiple users and will still work with future laptop upgrades. Plus, since it's less than 5 x 5 inches, it takes very little space and is easy to carry with you around. Plug your devices in, place it near your monitor or laptop, and you're set. In short, we all know how messy setups can get when you have multiple devices. At a little over $100, this dock offers a great way to cut down on cord clutter and manage all your gear from a single place. It keeps your desk neat and saves you from constantly swapping cables.

This Multidevice Keyboard Tamed My Cluttered Workspace and Now I'm Never Going Back
Looking around my office, I see I have a habit of collecting computers. At least four are within reach of me right now, one is an old Chromebook I should probably throw away ... er, I mean, recycle. Maybe it's a habit I've carried over from my teenage years building gaming desktops for fun. In any case, I have more computers on (or under) my desk than I have hands, and nothing's worse than cluttering up your workspace with keyboards. My solution is the Logitech K780 multidevice keyboard. This keyboard can switch among three devices with the press of a button. For me, that means I can seamlessly move from my work laptop and a personal computer, or even type more comfortably on my iPhone. If you have a variety of computers or devices around and need to switch among them, a multidevice keyboard or mouse (I use the Logitech M585) might be a more cost-effective or simpler solution than a KVM switch. Here's how I use them. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. One keyboard for several devices My desk is chaotic enough as it is, balancing several beverages, notebooks, planners and the occasional (OK, frequent) incursion by a cat. Having one keyboard and mouse with dedicated, handy space is key to keeping things from getting too out of hand. The Logitech K780 can handle three devices. It mostly pivots between my work laptop and my personal MacBook Air but the third option can connect via Bluetooth or Logitech's Flow system. Just as important, this keyboard is sturdy. I've been called a loud typer and this thing holds up to the punishment I give it every day. It's a full keyboard with a number pad, which I use more than I'd expect. (You can get the K380s, without the number pad, for $38.) It connects easily with Bluetooth to Mac and Windows computers. Logitech doesn't stress Linux compatibility -- it can be hit or miss on Bluetooth -- but it connects via a wireless USB dongle to a desktop running Linux Mint. As for the mouse, the Logitech M585 multidevice mouse I use can switch between two different computers or devices. All it takes is the toggling of a button behind the scroll wheel. The Logitech K780 multidevice keyboard, when not serving as a cat bed, allows me to work on more than one computer at once. Jon Reed/CNET This keyboard may be the only one you need With many of us working from home these days, the need to juggle multiple devices is a lot more pressing than it used to be. A multidevice Bluetooth keyboard is one way to solve that problem for the multiple-computer users in your life. It can work not only across multiple laptops or desktops but will generally work with tablets and phones too, meaning you don't have to tap away at that touchscreen as much. It's a keyboard but it's a good one -- and it may be the only one you need.

Office workstations could get even smaller: JLL
This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: While many bosses doubled down on their return-to-office mandates earlier this year, employers also appear poised to shrink the individual office workspace they allot to employees who do show up, according to a recent survey from JLL, a global commercial real estate and investment management company. Companies are aiming to tighten the so-called density metric, or space allotted per person, to an average of 132 square feet per person from 165 square feet per person and to increase the seat-sharing ratios to 1.3 person per seat currently to 1.1 people, according to JLL's 'Global Occupancy Planning Benchmark Report 2025.' Companies can cut more costs with 100% 'agile seating' or completely unassigned seats, the report states. 'Most organizations (78%) report having defined standards for space functions to guide workplace planning, actively working toward smaller, more standardized sizes for office and workstations,' the report states. Dive Insight: Employers — along with their finance executives, real estate and human resource departments — have been faced with many new challenges around work policies and how to budget for and find the right office setup since the pandemic accelerated the popularity of remote and hybrid work more than five years ago. Where and how people work has been transformed by technology and a shift in cultural norms. The global office utilization rate — which measures the percent of time that individual office seats are occupied during the workday — inched up to 54% this year to date, above the year earlier's 49%, but still below the pre-pandemic 2019 level of 61%, according to the report. Companies are still seeking to adjust their workspaces to align with the range of work options, according to the JLL report, which was based on a survey of 99 organizations that collectively hold global portfolios of more than 745 million square feet of commercial real estate. While 18% of workers are currently fully remote and 15% are in the office five days a week, the majority (67%) are hybrid and in the office from one to four days a week. In order to accommodate that fluid environment and keep costs down, many companies are shifting toward space sharing. Nearly one fifth (17%) of the respondents said they were decreasing space dedicated to enclosed offices with only 3% increasing them, while 13% said they were trimming back dedicated open workspaces compared to 3% who are adding them. At the same time, the standard size of offices and open workstation spaces appear poised to shrink. Some 65% of companies said they are targeting average enclosed offices that are 125 square feet or less, which is smaller than 58% of the company's current typical offices. Meanwhile, 78% of companies are aiming to offer workstations that are under 50 square feet in size even though 32% of the respondents' average current work stations are bigger. Many companies are also jettisoning receptionists and waiting areas, file and storage space and copy and print rooms. What they have added to the space are some places to do focused work and have some privacy. These include phone rooms, storage lockers and small huddle rooms. 'While maximizing space utilization remains a priority…organizations are recognizing the dual role of the office in hybrid environments — both as a collaboration hub and as a space for the focused work that remains essential for most employees,' the report states.
