Dell designs commercial solutions for today's workplace requirements

- New Latitude series combines beautiful design with business-class security, manageability and reliability

- Vostro portfolio balances performance with style for small businesses

- Redesigned Precision workstations deliver sleek, new options for creative professionals

- OptiPlex business PCs are smaller, faster and more energy efficient

- New Dell printing solutions offer one-stop access to multiple cloud-based services

Rakesh Mandal, Director and GM, Client Solutions, South Asia & Korea, Dell, talked about Dell's commitment to deliver cutting-edge products designed based on insights gained from users.

Dell has announced a new wave of end-user computing solutions that address the diverse demands of mobile workers and professionals worldwide. The solutions bring the latest computing technologies within new sleek form factors reminiscent of Dell's consumer portfolio. In partnership with Microsoft and Intel, these systems ship with the new Windows 10 platform and 6th Generation Intel Core processors or the latest Intel Xeon processors for mobile workstations, enhancing the customer experience.

Dell has charted the changing norms in the workplace and tailored its new solutions accordingly. For example, 59% of employees have less office space compared to 10 years ago, and 50% of employees check email and take work-related calls after office hours. According to Dell, the rapidly evolving workforce requires businesses to invest in technology that enables employees to work faster, make better decisions, and be more productive and collaborative.

“2015 has been an amazing year for us, so we wish to continue meeting our customers’ most pressing computing needs by bringing together industry-leading solutions to deliver powerful and beautifully-balanced products to our customers,” said Rakesh Mandal, General Manager, Client Solutions, South Asia and Korea, Dell.

Foong Chee Ngiam, Chief Marketing and Operations Officer, Microsoft Singapore elaborates, "Our goal at Microsoft is to empower every organisation and individual to do more and achieve more. With Windows 10, we are delivering a more personal computing experience across devices with new features while enabling mobility of experiences across devices. As of January this year, more than 76% of our enterprise customers are on active pilots of Windows 10, and we now have over 22 million devices running Windows 10 across enterprise and education customers globally. We are proud that together with Dell, we’re able to bring the familiarity of Windows together with top-notch computing solutions to businesses in Singapore to address the working demands of an ever evolving workplace.”

Mandal noted that addressing evolving user needs, ensuring future readiness, is a priority for Dell. Customer feedback and several workplace personas developed through research influence research and development efforts, he said. "Dell designs solutions based on user experience," he stated during his presentation.

Mandal's presentation included an introduction to five different workplace personas: desk-centric, corridor warrior, on-the-go pro, remote and purpose-built, and the four categories of computing solutions that address their needs. Desk-centric employees would be most productive with multiple large displays, and an efficient use of space for example, while corridor warriors require convenient, portable solutions that allow seamless transition between stations as they move around the office constantly.

Dell and Windows 10

Starting in 2013, Dell began collaborating with Microsoft to take advantage of key features offered within Windows 10. New devices are optimised for Windows 10 usage with Continuum, Office Mobile Apps and Microsoft Edge, which allows users to annotate web pages and share them. Windows 10’s built-in, enterprise-grade security also helps companies protect against modern cyber threats. In addition businesses can control the frequency of their updates and select the functionality that is right for different groups of employees.

“The concept of a future workforce is one that is taking place now. Every day, we see the transformation of teams that are more mobile and seamless – collaborating in a borderless, high-performing environment. Intel technology is critical to this evolution. Devices built with our partner Dell, which feature 6th Gen Intel Core processors, are purpose-built to deliver an impactful experience for business and pleasure with an optimal blend of mobility and performance,” said Sameer Tupaki, Head of Marketing, Intel Singapore and Malaysia.

Latitude: designed to impress

The Latitude 3000, 5000 and 7000 Series have been completely refreshed with thin and light designs, with excellent efficiency and powerful processing options. Dell took design cues from its XPS consumer line, resulting in the same sleek form factor and unique materials that deliver light weight and rigidity throughout the commercial lineup.

Liow Yee Fong, Client Solutions Director, Malaysia and Singapore, Dell, explained that Latitude and Vostro have different target audiences.  Latitude is the Dell branding for commercial notebooks for corporate accounts while the Vostro family is targeted at small businesses, home offices, or companies with 10 to 20 staff who may not need the trusted platform module (TPM) that is found in Latitude devices. The TPM offers hardware-based data protection.

Vostro: tailormade for professionals, small businesses

The Vostro portfolio is suitable for both home and business use. The new Vostro 14 3000 Series (3459) laptop is powered by energy-efficient Intel processors with up to 6th Generation Core i7 performance to deliver up to nine hours of productivity for the mobile workforce*. It also features a scratch-resistant textured cover.

The new Vostro 14 5000 Series notebook (5459) is crafted in Era Grey anodised aluminum, and delivers up to nine hours of battery life. The Vostro 14 5000 Series notebook also comes with an easy-to-use and reliable security solution featuring a fingerprint reader and Windows 10 biometric recognition for commercial users.

Precision workstations offer more power

Redesigned to meet the needs of creative professionals and all rigorously tested to ensure compatibility with key software applications, the new mobile workstations combine thinner, lighter industrial designs and brilliant displays with the latest graphics technology, new processors and faster memory and storage. Significant updates have also been made to the entry line of Dell Precision tower solutions.

This portfolio offers configuration options such as the new 6th Generation Intel Core processors, first Intel Xeon processors for mobile workstations and future Intel Xeon processors E3-1200 product families. The latest professional graphics from AMD and NVIDIA deliver significant compute capacity and visual performance. New screen options include the first PremierColor 4k Ultra HD displays with 100% minimum Adobe RGB color gamut. Full HD and UHD options on its InfinityEdge display offers a virtually borderless screen to give a 15.6" viewing area in a relatively small form factor. Thunderbolt Type C is also supported for the mobile Precision family.

Huang Zhiwei, Business Development Manager, Client Solutions, Singapore Commercial, Dell, introduces the customised mounts for OptiPlex desktops.

New OptiPlex desktops optimise the workplace

The fully revamped OptiPlex portfolio, said to be the world’s most secure and manageable commercial desktops, changes perceptions about the commercial desktop with smaller, faster and more energy-efficient micro form factor, small form factor, and mini tower designs. The refresh leverages Skylake* processors, having skipped Haswell and Broadwell models, said Huang Zhiwei, Business Development Manager, Client Solutions, Singapore Commercial, Dell.

Space savings are significant compared to previous models. The mini tower is 43% smaller than the previous generation while micro desktops can save more than 7,700 sq ft of workspace when replacing 10,000 legacy desktops. According to Huang, customers are mounting the micro form factor systems behind monitors to create 'pseudo all in ones'.

The updated portfolio leverages a new 3000/5000/7000 model numbering structure to simplify product comparison and selection for customers, and includes:

OptiPlex 7040: a compact enterprise-class desktop with premium management and security and extensive expandability, including discrete graphics, dual hard drives and triple display support

OptiPlex 5040: A commercial desktop with advanced performance over the 3040, with security and manageability;

OptiPlex 3040: A business desktop offering security, manageability and high performance at the lowest entry price point for a commercial desktop; and

OptiPlex 24 7000 Series All-In-One (7440): A secure all-in-one with a sleek design, a 23.8" Full HD display and an optional 4K Ultra HD display;

OptiPlex 22 3000 Series All-In-One (3240): An all-in-one with business-class performance and a new 21.5" Full HD display.

Dell peripherals deliver productivity

As the No. 1 monitor brand worldwide**, Dell unveiled a new collection of CES Innovation Award-winning monitors. This includes an Ultra HD 4K OLED monitor, and two new InfinityEdge monitors that offer a virtually bezel-less display and wireless monitor support.

The Dell UltraSharp 30 Ultra HD 4K OLED monitor is Dell's

Viktor Petrasek, Product Marketing Manager, Dell Displays, Asia, Pacific and Japan, said the UltraSharp 30 will be available in May 2016 in Singapore for S$6,999. "(We want to) take a very premium technology and try to drive it into a market where it hasn't been before in terms of the price band and the quality," he said.

The Dell UltraSharp InfinityEdge monitors feature the world’s first InfinityEdge displays with ultra-thin borders on all sides. Designed with a complementary arm that offers greater adjustment flexibility and integrated cable management, this recipient of 2016 CES Awards in Innovation and Eco-Design helps maximise available workspace. Both the 27" Quad HD and 23.8" Full HD monitors offer premium screen performance, colour precision and connectivity. "We're supporting the productivity story and giving you a more engaging experience with the screen," Petrasek said.

Dell Document Hub boosts cloud content management

The Dell Document Hub manages content from multiple cloud sources.

As part of Dell’s end-to-end solutions for business customers, the new H-Series and S-Series multifunction printers are designed to meet the online collaboration needs of businesses of all sizes.
With 64% of workers performing at least some of their work tasks at home and half of desktop users incorporating other devices as well, it has become necessary for offices to offer complete printer connectivity.

The new H-Series printers (models H625cdw, H825cdw, and H815dw), also termed cloud printers, support the Dell Document Hub app, which gives customers access to multiple cloud storage services at the same time, such as Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Salesforce and Evernote, for easy sharing and printing. The printers provide direct access to the Document Hub from the printer or PC for office-based employees, while remote employees can access it as an app on their mobile device or PC.  Ideal for smaller organisations and executive offices, the printers provide easy Wi-Fi setup by SMBs and micro-businesses with limited or no IT teams.

HP announces Elite x2 2 in 1

Source: HP Inc.

HP today announced the HP Elite x2 – a 2-in-1 tablet that offers the productivity of a full notebook with the convenience of a tablet. The new device blurs the lines between phablets and laptops with an optional LTE modem.

“We designed the HP Elite x2 to be thin, light and powerful in a way that captures the simplicity and elegance users will love while also delivering the durability, serviceability, security and manageability IT departments need to enable true mobile productivity,” said Serena Yong, Managing Director, HP Singapore.

Targeted at the mobile professional, the Elite x2 is crafted from milled CNC aluminum with a focus on aesthetics. At 8.1 mm thin¹, the tablet weighs under 840g² and has a built-in kickstand with 150 degrees of adjustability, allowing a user to set the device upright for viewing and keyboard typing or laying it back for on-screen typing. The device’s 12" diagonal anti-glare HD display has a 3:2 aspect ratio and automatically adjusts to different lighting conditions.

Performance is paramount for mobile professionals, and the Elite x2 caters to the requirements with a long battery life³, Windows 10 and a 6th generation Intel Core M vPro processor. The processors are optimised for high performance with power efficiency⁴ and solid state disk (SSD) technology, enabling a fanless, virtually silent computing experience with no moving parts. Premium audio tuned by Bang & Olufsen and HP noise reduction software ensure conference call attendees can hear and be heard.

As with the rest of HP’s Elite lineup, the Elite x2 is designed to pass MIL-STD testing⁵. The device also features added durability with a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen and two grades of aluminum alloy to ensure the right balance between strength and weight. The device also incorporates an optional, built-in 4G LTE modem offering the convenience of connectivity virtually anywhere without the need for tethering⁶. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X5 LTE modem supports all major 3G/4G networks.

To enable flexible content creation on the go, the Elite x2 includes the HP Active Pen with App Launch as a standard feature. Based on WACOM technology, the pen has integrated pressure sensors to help control the width of lines when writing or drawing onscreen. The pen also includes App Launch, a programmable Bluetooth application launch button to quickly launch OneNote or any other pre-specified Windows application.

The Elite x2 provides a choice of two optional, enterprise-class, full-sized, backlit keyboards for easy content creation⁷. Both keyboards are leveraged from the HP EliteBook Folio 1020 and layered in a stiff aluminum base to create torsional rigidity and stability that rivals a traditional laptop form factor. The HP Advanced Keyboard features an NFC sensor in the touchpad and a built-in smart card reader for security. If the HP Advanced Keyboard is disconnected, the Elite x2 will automatically log off the domain to keep information secure⁸. The HP Travel Keyboard offers users a thinner keyboard solution, adding 395g in weight while delivering a full 1.5mm keyboard travel and a clickpad.

The Elite x2 is designed with the ports commercial users need by including both Thunderbolt 3 and USB-A ports. The Elite x2 includes three optional wired and wireless docking solutions. The Thunderbolt 3 port on the Elite x2 easily docks to the HP Elite USB-C Docking Station for dual 2K displays or the HP Elite Thunderbolt 65W Dock for dual 4K displays. The Elite X2 can also dock to the HP Advanced Wireless Docking Station through WiGig technology, which enables fast wireless connectivity to the network, displays and devices⁹. A power pass-through feature in the USB-C port on the device allows users to stay charged for a full work day, while also recharging their accessories.

The Elite x2 is the first tablet designed with the unique combination of BIOS-level security with integrated HP Sure Start, manageability featuring HP Touchpoint Manager¹⁰ and an optional Intel Core M vPro processor¹¹. The Elite x2 comes with a host of built-in (not bolted on) security capabilities, including HP Sure Start with Dynamic Protection, HP Client Security, TPM, and an optional fingerprint reader or smart card reader. With the optional Intel Core M vPro processor, IT can power on and remotely manage the Elite x2 over both wired and wireless networks¹².

The HP Elite x2 1012 is expected to start shipping in Singapore in early January at a starting price of S$1,399¹³. To make it easy to integrate the Elite x2 into an existing infrastructure, HP offers a range of services and 24x7 support across 180 countries and 230,000 channel partners, including the ability to buy the device from a global SKU. Large customers get the convenience of ordering off one single global SKU code instead of worrying about managing country specific SKUs and part numbers. In addition, hardware and service components are orderable in every country worldwide.
