Choosing between the Logitech MeetUp and the Logitech Rally Bar Mini? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the MeetUp if you want the one that costs $2,490 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Rally Bar Mini if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to medium rooms) and also supports Google Meet.
