Choosing between the Logitech MeetUp and the Neat Bar? Here's how they differ on room size, platforms, camera, audio and price, and which one fits your room.
Short answer: pick the Logitech MeetUp if you want the one that costs $127 less and is sized for smaller rooms, so you don't pay for range you won't use. Pick the Neat Bar if you want the one that covers bigger rooms (up to medium rooms).
Both are USB video bars; the difference is camera and audio.
