Dell Introduces New Line of Tablets and Updated XPS Laptops
Dell has taken a bold step in unveiling a
new family of tablets and new laptops, including a 2-in-1 Ultrabook. The Dell
Venue line of tablets is comprised of four new ultrathin models designed to address
the changing way people live and work today. Dell’s “damned sexy” tablets, as described by leading
Enderle Group analyst, Rob Enderle, deliver leading performance and quality,
backed by Intel processing technology. With compact designs that make it easy
to stay connected on the go, the Dell Venue tablets have an exquisite fit and
finish.
In
addition to the versatile new Dell Venue tablets, Dell is introducing new XPS
laptops, each with breakthrough displays for a phenomenal viewing experience
with vibrant, crisp images in any available screen size. The new XPS 11, the
thinnest, most compact 2-in-1 in the world, also features the first Quad HD
(2560 x 1440) display on an 11.6-inch 2-in-1. The XPS 15 multimedia powerhouse boasts
a stunningly thin design, and offers as an option the first 15.6-inch Quad HD+ (3200
x 1800) display in the world, which is the highest resolution available on a
laptop of that size. Dell is also refreshing its award-winning XPS 13 Ultrabook
with faster processors, touch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display and improved
battery life. With these three laptops, Dell is leading the industry with the
highest resolution displays possible.
Dell
Venue tablets are designed to give people on-the-go a wide-selection of sizes
and options to meet their varying needs. From 8 and 11-inch Windows-based
tablets complete with keyboard and stylus options, to the 7 and 8-inch Android
tablets, Dell has created a dedicated brand of tablets to meet the needs of
customers who are the epitome of the evolving workforce.
The Dell Venue 8 Pro and Dell Venue 11 Pro Windows 8.1-based tablets combine
the level of performance, design and responsiveness end-users love while giving
IT departments what they need - the ability to integrate into an existing corporate
environment with full compatibility with current Windows applications and Microsoft
Office integration. Both tablets feature optional advanced security features
and services such as TPM and Dell Enterprise Services.
The lightweight Dell Venue 8 Pro runs
Windows 8.1, has a bright HD IPS display, advanced connectivity options and
provides long battery life so range anxiety is no longer an issue. People can
also stay productive with Office 2013 Home & Student, included with the
device, and the optional Dell Active Stylus.
The Dell Venue 11 Pro, also based on Windows 8.1, provides ultimate
2-in-1 flexibility with the power of an Ultrabook, convenience of a detachable
keyboard and experience of a desktop. Unlike competitive tablets, it has a user
removable/replaceable battery, and its large, Full HD display with wide viewing
angles makes it easy to read and create content while staying mobile. It is
also available with a variety of keyboard and stylus options.
Dell Active Stylus makes it easy to annotate, draw or take notes. Dell
Slim Keyboard, designed for travel, also serves as a cover for the screen when
folded up. Dell Mobile Keyboard with integrated battery provides all day
productivity with a full-sized keyboard while extending the battery life. Dell
Tablet Desktop Dock delivers full productivity on a desk with USB 3.0 ports,
and dual display out ports for display extension.
The Dell Venue 7 and Dell Venue 8 Android-based tablets are affordable,
feature-rich tablets for people who want to be constantly connected wherever
they are. Both tablets have an upscale fit and finish, and are designed with
longevity in mind with the right components so that customers will be just as
delighted with their tablet one year from now, as they are on the day they take
it out of the box.
All Dell Venue tablets are based on Intel processing power for speed,
responsiveness, and battery efficiency. The Dell Venue 7 and Dell Venue 8
feature Intel Atom Z2760 (“Clover Trail”) processors, while the Dell Venue 8
Pro and Dell Venue 11 Pro feature the new Intel Atom quad-core processors, code
named “Bay Trail.” The Venue 11 Pro offers up to 4th Generation
Intel Core i3 and i5 processor options and Intel vPro for manageability.
Dell’s award-winning
XPS laptop line just got even better with the new XPS 15 powerhouse laptop, the
introduction of the XPS 11 2-in-1, and an update to the flagship XPS 13
Ultrabook. In keeping with the XPS tradition of offering the best computing
experience in any product category, the XPS laptops and 2-in-1 feature machined
aluminum, carbon fiber, vibrant displays, and Corning Gorilla Glass NBT for
performance, durability and the ultimate experience.
Starting at
2.5lbs[i]
and just 11-15mm thin, the XPS 11 is the world’s thinnest, lightest and most
compact 2-in-1 Ultrabook available today, offering a tablet-first design with
laptop functionality. It easily transitions from tablet to laptop with a 360
degree rotating hinge design, and an innovative solid surface backlit touch
keyboard that provides a superb experience from lap to bag.
“Dell appears to have its innovative mojo back,” said Tim Bajarin,
President of Creative Strategies. “These new products clearly emphasize Dell’s
commitment to create innovative mobile solutions for businesses and consumers
and I believe represent some of the best products they have made in many
years.”
The
Dell PocketCloud application is pre-installed on all
XPS and Venue products, helping users build their own “personal cloud” and
remotely manage personal and professional content. By combining PocketCloud
with the portability of the new Venue tablets and XPS laptops, mobile workers
will be able to enjoy an easy and connected experience with access to all of
their apps and content from virtually anywhere.
