Dell Technologies unveiled new products and software at this year’s CES across its premium Latitude, XPS, and displays portfolios to help people innovate, collaborate and accomplish more in the next decade. Here are the highlights, featuring artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and innovatively designed PCs and displays.
The Latitude 9510
The Latitude 9000 series is now smaller and thinner than ever before and boosted with a larger display. The new Latitude 9510 delivers what business users seek: the longest battery life of any 15-inch business PC with a target of up to 30 hours, 5G-ready design, powerful audio features and intelligent solutions that increase productivity.
Travel light at only 3.2 pounds, without carrying the extra weight of battery chargers, adapters or speakerphone pucks needed for a work day. It comes with Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) and 5G mobile broadband capabilities, for allow seamless connectivity. The design incorporates 5G antennas into the speakers to retain the InfinityEdge display, while carbon blade fans and dual heat pipes offer a quiet and cool-to-the-touch experience. Launching with up to the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processors, the vPro ready Latitude 9510 features a machined-aluminum finish with diamond cut edges for professionals that want performance with style.
It brags of being the smartest PC in the market with the first built-in and automated AI-based optimization technology that works behind the scenes to help reduce lags, delays and frustration. It leverages AI-tech and uses machine learning to remember one’s working habits to improve productivity.
For example, it can help quick launch applications and switch quickly between applications to improve overall application performance—all based on user set preferences combined with machine learning. It also remembers and improves battery life utilization based on one’s battery charge patterns and typical power usage, automatically adjusting settings to lengthen battery life. It can also sense a user’s presence (this is not creepy at all), enabling faster log-in with Dell’s PC proximity sensor enabled by Intel Context Sensing Technology and Windows Hello.
The XPS 13
Redesigned to achieve the most premium and superior computing experience with the finest materials, smaller and thinner profile and a larger display the revamped XPS 13 is crafted from aluminum, carbon fiber, woven glass fiber, and hardened Corning Gorilla Glass, the XPS 13 features a flawless finish in a durable, lightweight design. Now larger with a 16:10 display and 25% brighter, the XPS 13 display offers 13.4 inches of screen space at a compact form factor.
The XPS 13 comes with up to 10th Gen Intel Core processors and long battery life for the travelers, small business owners, and creatives that need power and performance on the go. A larger touchpad, edge-to-edge keyboard, and one-handed opening strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. The new XPS packaging also includes more sustainable materials and eliminates foam, making it easier for customers to recycle. Available options include the traditional XPS 13 with Windows 10 or the Developer Edition featuring Ubuntu 18.04LTS.
Dell Cinema Guide and Dell Mobile Connect
Dell also premiered two new applications: the Dell Cinema Guide and Dell Mobile Connect. The first is a one-stop-shop for searching streaming entertainment that finds television shows and movies across more than 200 streaming services within one simple content guide. The latter isn’t exactly new and we’ve seen it in action at the launch of last year’s XPS 13. Launched in 2018, the mobile connect feature has transformed the way people work and interact with their smartphones when on a PC. Allowing users to directly access their favorite mobile app to the drag-and-drop file transfer, and content mirroring. This year, Dell will be expanding the app and its functions to iOS phone users and to its other PC lines such as the XPS, Inspiron, Vostro, Alienware, and G Series.
Monitors
Digitizing the traditional whiteboard, the Dell 86 4K Interactive Touch Monitor 4K USB-C Monitor allows users to view content from up to four connected PCs simultaneously. On the other hand, the new UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Monitor with VESA DisplayHDR 400offers wide color coverage for accurate color reproduction. For gamers, the Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor is built for speed with 99% sRGB color coverage and fast IPS technology that offers rich colors, a 240Hz refresh rate, and a blazingly fast 1 millisecond gray-to-gray response time, all in native FHD resolution. It also features AMD Radeon FreeSync technology and is NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible.
