Single-port USB3 docking
This made-for-mobile docking is a royalty-free idea for any laptop manufacturer to take up. All I ask is that you give me one :-). Docking stations are bulky. Why not make the laptop power supply be a single USB connector into the laptop. It can supply power over this (special) USB connector’s power wires, and the power supply it can also be a USB3 hub for the room’s peripherals: second monitor and printer, etc. When you’re in the office, just plug in power and you’re docked. Plus, when you’re out of office, the same laptop port doubles as a spare USB3 port.
