Let’s face it, how we work and where we work today is different for everyone. Whether it’s hybrid work, remote work, flexible work or in-office work, one thing is fundamentally consistent: technology. It is the great equalizer driving collaboration and productivity, providing new experiences of flexibility and freedom.
While today many can work from anywhere, there are still limitations hindering our work experiences. Solving for these challenges sits at the core of Dell’s design philosophy and represents the innovations in its commercial portfolio. It spans from the device to the ecosystem to the software and solutions that bring an elevated sense of connection and collaboration.
Now, Dell’s intelligent and secure commercial PC portfolio is updated with new designs, new collaboration features and new levels of performance. In addition to laptops and workstations, Dell has also simplified its desktop portfolio and extended intelligence to the entire PC ecosystem. Throughout it all, Dell continuously thinks about sustainability, security, manageability and service offerings that help ensure businesses can meet their goals and free up the day-to-day burden on IT departments.
Enhancing the device
From the phones we use to the cars we drive, technology complements who we are in the world. The same can be said about the PCs we use for work. People not only want commercial devices with reliable performance for on-the-go productivity and seamless collaboration, but they also want devices that complement their style and design aesthetic. These areas show up in Dell’s new offerings.
Latitude. Dell has poured a ton of innovation and purposeful, detailed design into these devices, including advanced audio and video collaboration features, sustainable materials and battery-saving mini-LED keyboard technology. Read more about these stunning devices and the rest of the new Latitude portfolio here.
- The ultra-premium Latitude 9440 is built with design inspiration from Dell’s XPS line. Perfect for an executive, consultant or salesperson, it’s equipped with a haptic collaboration touchpad for a more immersive, customisable conferencing experience. The two-in-one includes machined aluminium for a premium look and feel, and a stunning new keyboard with wider keys with no gaps, known as zero-lattice, that makes all day working comfortable.
- The Latitude 7340/7440 Ultralights form factor helps professionals to move between meetings with ease. Both start at just under/over one kilogram – they are surprisingly light yet durable without sacrificing features, each has a 16:10 display and 5MP camera for a productive workspace with mobile convenience.
Precision. Creators, designers, engineers and other specialised power users have their own demands. They prioritise performance and graphics capabilities to run graphic intensive applications and software, while in the office, studio or on the move. Dell is delivering new enhancements across its Precision mobile and fixed workstations – including the latest 13th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation Laptop GPUs – to meet these needs.
Last year Dell introduced a 14-inch workstation that delivered unrivalled power. This year the Precision 5480 features performance improvements from processor to graphics card and beyond. But it doesn’t stop there – Dell has added a 16-inch mobile workstation to the 5000 Series line-up. The Precision 5680 has a small 16-inch footprint, but packs an amazing punch, with up to Intel® Core™ i9 (45W), and up to 64GB of DDR5 memory with the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU. It offers even more power and immersive experiences with the 16:10 display and up to UHD+ with PremierColor in a stylish, lightweight package. Read more about the new Precision workstations here.
OptiPlex: After three decades of continuous desktop innovation and listening to customer feedback, Dell’s new OptiPlex portfolio is now easier than ever to configure, purchase and manage. Dell has simplified the portfolio so customers can quickly identify the system based on workspace and performance needs. For example, customers can select between space-conscious designs and minimalist desk set-ups with a range of performance options, or prioritise the expandability and performance of a desktop tower.
Dell has also made the portfolio more intelligent and easier for IT admins to manage multiple or even thousands of devices with a new single BIOS setup, freeing up valuable IT time. Read more about the new OptiPlex portfolio here, including the standout OptiPlex All-in-One, that features comfort and style in a sleek design and comes with built-in collaboration, security and privacy features.
Expanding PC intelligence
A modern work setup requires software solutions around the PC to efficiently maximise productivity. The Dell Optimizer’s existing features has been improved with enhancements such as intelligent audio, privacy, connectivity and collaboration that learn and respond to the way employees work. Dell customers have also said the fewer applications to pull up and sift through, the better. That’s why the latest version of Dell Optimizer extends intelligence from the PC to the rest of the PC ecosystem. It allows users to manage displays and peripherals more easily in one interface. Intelligent audio capabilities on PCs have also been upgraded – the echo cancelling feature cancels out distracting echoes for everyone on the call, and voice quality monitoring notifies users with a pop-up when your voice quality is poor.
Catered to IT and beyond
Today, Dell customers are focused on how Dell can help them reach their sustainability goals, enable secure hybrid work amidst growing cyberattack threats, and simplify and reduce the burden on overwhelmed IT departments. In fact, 45% of ITDMs don’t have peace of mind their people can securely work from anywhere. Dell is constantly looking at ways to modernise and meet customers’ needs in these crucial areas.
- Sustainability: Dell continues to innovate and invest in sustainable design across their products and packaging. They are expanding the use of low-carbon emissions aluminium to include more recycled content and extending this material to more of their portfolio, including the Latitude 9440, and Precision 5680, and to the Latitude 7000 series later this year. Dell has also increased the percentage of post-consumer recycled materials to reduce the environmental impact further through their most sustainable Latitude laptop series, Precision 3000 Series workstations and the latest commercial monitors. Plus, “Quiet Mode” within the thermal management settings of Dell Optimizer can provide up to 18% in power savings.
- Security and manageability: Focused on delivering the industry’s most secure commercial PCs and creating a trusted workspace with hardware and software protections, Dell’s recent security announcement highlights new services and solutions. This includes a collaboration with CrowdStrike to offer customers more choice in cybersecurity software, a hardware supply chain security offering that provides additional assurances that PCs arrived as they were ordered, as well as a managed detection and response services to help customers safeguard IT environments. Dell is also making their devices as easy as possible to manage, deploy and use.
Data and device management: Dell’s latest commercial devices are compatible with Dell’s Cloud Client Workspace software. IT admins can seamlessly and securely integrate PCs into their VDI environment and manage their fleet of devices more easily.
