Employees always feel happier and more productive working from newer devices, equipped with the latest technologies and features. But as the era of hybrid working continues to gather pace, it’s perhaps more important now than it’s ever been before.
For hybrid working to be a success, employees need to be certain that they can get their work done wherever and whenever they’re working. But that doesn’t just mean they need a device that’s light enough for them to easily carry from home to the office and back again. They need hardware that’s fast, capable and secure, so that their work is never compromised and they’re never frustrated by the technology they’re provided with.
All this is why Dell’s laptops are equipped with the very latest Intel vPro with 12th Generation Intel Core processors, so that every employee can be equipped with devices that can keep up with the pace of change in the world of work. This combination of the best of Dell and Intel stands out for four vital reasons:
They’re intelligent
The 12th Generation Intel Core processors power the Dell Optimizer, software that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to dynamically optimise the performance of the device. Without any user intervention, it can work out what a user’s priorities are and improve performance in those areas, across application launch and transition, battery life management, audio, alerts, updates and much more.
Additionally, Intel’s Visual or Context Sensing Technology enables Express Sign-In using our built-in proximity sensor, IR camera and Windows Hello. That way, users don’t have to waste time logging in or remembering passwords: their device can instantly detect their presence and wake, so that they can get straight back to work without any fuss.
They’re adaptive
The ability to adapt to user demands and real-world conditions doesn’t stop there: Dell platforms including OptiPlex, Latitude and Precision are all designed to give users experiences that complement their work perfectly. Within Dell Optimizer, the ExpressResponse feature takes advantage of built-in AI and Intel’s Adaptix technology to work out which apps need prioritising for faster launch times and greater processing power. This helps improve performance in the places where it’s needed the most, and supports better multi-tasking as it becomes easier than ever to switch between them.
They’re secure
At a time when cybercrime is becoming more prevalent and sophisticated all the time, it’s vital to leave no stone unturned in keeping data, applications and systems safe. This is especially important within hybrid working, where employees are using devices across different internet connections to access potentially sensitive information.
To help keep businesses and employees secure, Dell and Intel collectively apply Zero Trust principles to our range of PCs. Only available on Intel vPro, Dell’s SafeBIOS and Intel’s Hardware Shield work together to protect against advanced and emerging threats, and provide multilayer protection whenever a device is being used. These protective measures help IT teams too, as they ease the process of keeping mission-critical management resources up and running.
They optimise connectivity
Fast, reliable WiFi connectivity is now the lifeblood of modern business, and hybrid workers need to be certain that they can access it everywhere they go and whenever they’re working.
Dell ExpressConnect technology ensures that always happens by automatically selecting the best network available and minimising disruption over the course of the working day. Combined with Intel’s WiFi6E technology available on the vPro platform, office internet speeds can run up to six times faster than standard WiFi, and home internet speeds up to three times faster.
What’s more, for the video conferencing that helps hybrid workers stay connected, it prioritises the call traffic to ensure the best possible experience every time.
Next-level business, made possible by Dell and Intel
A workforce equipped with Dell devices, and powered by 12th Generation Intel technology, is a happy, productive and agile workforce. They’ll be happy because they can work without stress at home and in the office; productive because they’ll have all the intuitive processing power they need to get their jobs done; and agile because one high-performance device can cover all their key tasks, wherever they’re working.
