Dell launches a new wave of Inspiron PCs designed to keep you connected to what matters most

Dell today unveiled the new Inspiron family – with 13-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch sizes available – providing an immersive experience while streaming videos, browsing social media, creating content or connecting with friends and family around the world.

“We live in a world where people – especially the younger generations – want to creatively and easily connect with friends, families and the rest of the world – all with the click of a button while showcasing their personalities,” said Kevin Terwilliger, vice president, Inspiron and Vostro, Client Product Group, Dell Technologies. “This is what inspired our latest Inspiron portfolio, all while keeping productivity and quality at the forefront of our products so individual expression flows freely.”

 Meet the New Inspiron Plus

Designed to provide extra performance to power passions, the new Inspiron Plus laptops are built for those who want to bring their creative projects to life and share with others.

The Inspiron 16 Plus, presented in a Dark Green color, is a powerful laptop that features the latest 12th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series processors and optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics, which allows for quick photo and video editing. When configured with a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, it provides access to a powerful suite of NVIDIA Studio tools including Broadcast and Canvas apps. Load and switch between apps effortlessly with the new 4800 MHz DDR5 memory, which has 1.5x more bandwidth than the previous generation of 3200 DDR4 memory. And with a 15% increase in the area of air outlet vents over the previous generation, the laptop can circulate out more air, keeping it running fast and smooth.

The Inspiron 16 Plus has a larger 16:10 aspect ratio active area with up to a 3k resolution display, allowing consumers to see more content while working and playing. Video chats get even better with Inspiron’s latest technologies. The built-in FHD webcam with temporal noise reduction and wide dynamic range work together for crisp detail. Dual microphones capture voices distinctly, while echo cancellation and AI-based noise reduction cuts down on background noise. And a mechanical camera privacy shutter provides peace of mind.

Inspiron 16 Plus levels up viewers’ front-of-screen experience with Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®. With Dolby Vision, take full advantage of HDR content’s superior dynamic range with infinitely deep blacks and dazzling brights. Entertainment recorded with Dolby Atmos allows you to experience sound exactly the way the artist wanted. Quad speakers, two of which are up-firing and two are down-firing, provide loud, clear, and unmuffled audio.

With everyone spending more and more time in front of their screens, it is essential to keep your eyes comfortable. The Inspiron Plus series comes equipped with ComfortView Plus hardware, a low blue light solution that reduces harmful blue light emissions without sacrificing true-to-life color. Coupled with dimming technology that reduces flicker, extended screen time is easy on your eyes. Additionally, there is plenty of space for navigation with a roomy touchpad, that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Edge-to-edge material stretches across the palm rest and touchpad for a modern and smooth work surface.

The Inspiron 14 Plus is a new member of the Inspiron family, designed to meet the needs of those who want an Inspiron Plus but prefer a smaller form factor. The Inspiron 14 Plus comes in light (Platinum Silver – available only in China) and dark (Dark Green) and provides impressive performance in a mobile design, allowing for connectivity on the go. Select configurations of both the Inspiron 14 Plus and Inspiron 16 Plus are Intel® Evo™ certified.

 Inspiron 13, 14 & 16 and Inspiron 2-in-1

Inspiron laptops and 2-in-1s provide fast and smooth performance for everyday needs, whether it’s checking email, posting on social media, or streaming music and movies. The experience is customizable, making it easy to pick and choose the features that are most important, with optional colors, fingerprint readers, backlit keyboards, and more.

The new Inspiron family is powered by Windows 11 and includes more options to meet customers’ diverse needs, with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors or AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series processors with AMD Radeon™ Graphics. The Inspiron family also provides a choice of color options – Platinum Silver, Pebble Green or Light Pink (check models for specifics).

The new portfolio has an immersive front-of-screen experience, with products featuring a 16:10 aspect ratio and 4-sided narrow borders for more viewing room.  Panels start at FHD+ resolution and offer DC dimming and low blue light solutions such as optional ComfortView Plus hardware, helping ensure comfort even when viewing the screen for extended periods.

Aiming to keep family and friends close, the new features allow for even more connectivity. Products are equipped with a built-in FHD webcam and dual microphones with noise reduction technology.

And for added flexibility, the new Inspiron 14 2-in-1 features a 14% larger touchpad, providing extra room for navigation. An optional active pen offers a natural and accurate writing experience with no pairing required.

In line with Dell’s 2030 Goals, the company incorporates environmentally-friendly solutions, materials, and packaging.

Sustainable refurbished laptops help revenue from Vyta’s reselling arm reach €2.4M

Vyta Group, Ireland’s leading secure IT recycling company, today announces that revenue for its sustainable reselling arm, RefreshedByUs.com, has reached €2.4M. Demand was driven by a market appetite for sustainable, affordable, high-end IT equipment.

RefreshedByUs.com sells refurbished laptops and IT equipment that have been sourced by Vyta from large corporations and government departments throughout the UK and Ireland. All equipment is sustainably and securely processed, ensuring GDPR compliance and the complete destruction of all data. Each item then undergoes a 23-step process, including a full reinstallation and further rigorous tests before being graded and put up for sale on RefreshedByUs.com.

RefreshedByUs.com revenues for its most recent financial year reached €2.4M, up 20% from the previous year. Helping to support the reselling arm’s growth are the deliberate efforts amongst businesses and consumers to reduce their carbon footprint. RefreshedByUs.com helps customers to contribute to a circular economy, while helping Vyta to ensure that less than 1% of its recovered IT equipment ends up in landfill.

The reselling arm processed a total of 10,082 devices – including desktops, laptops and monitors – for re-use in the last financial year. In total, those devices represent 1,045 tonnes (1,044,611kg) in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) savings1, when compared to purchasing brand new equivalents. That is equivalent to the average annual carbon footprint of 832 people living in Ireland.

Cost is also a significant driver of RefreshedByUs.com’s business. Users require expensive, high-end IT equipment to handle increasingly demanding software. Purchasing refurbished laptops and IT equipment from RefreshedByUs.com enables them to save up to 80% on the cost of high-spec, big brand IT equipment.

Faye Thomas, Chief Commercial Officer, Vyta Group, said: “The way we work and live has evolved drastically in the last two years. Households and businesses require multiple devices that can handle high volumes of data and sophisticated software – presenting a significant cost burden. To overcome this, refurbished laptops and IT equipment are increasingly being viewed as cost-efficient, sustainable options that don’t compromise on quality.

 “At Vyta Group, we are consistently looking at how we can become more sustainable, while helping our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals, too. Too much IT waste goes to landfill, so we are enabling businesses to dispose of their retired IT equipment responsibly.”

Dell unveils new Latitude Rugged laptops for extreme jobs

Dell has today unveiled the latest additions to its Rugged line which include the new Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and the Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme.

With the ever-increasing role technology plays across the most extreme industries, the new Dell Rugged PC portfolio will help to assist first responders, offshore energy workers, government and law enforcement.

Built to withstand the world’s harshest environments while maintaining the highest levels of performance and connectivity, the new Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme feature:

  • Enhanced field productivity with 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, with vPro optional,
  • Mission-critical connectivity with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E and optional 5G-capability,
  • Improved daylight-readable and glove-touch capable screens of up to 1400 units of brightness for optimal field usability,
  • Improved battery run-time to almost 25 hours with dual hot swappable batteries and Express Charge Boost for up to a 35% charge in 20 minutes for 24×7 field operations.

Commenting on the announcement, Vice President and General Manager for the Performance PCs portfolio of products at Dell Technologies, Tom Tobul said: “No matter the type of occupation, one thing you can’t afford to worry about is if your technology is as rugged as your job needs it to be. Lives might literally depend on it. Whether you’re working on an oil rig, are a first responder, work in manufacturing or are a member of the military and out in the field – your technology is exposed to elements and conditions like extreme temperatures, constant vibrations or high levels of dust and humidity – environments that would push the limitations of a traditional office laptop. That’s why the Dell Technologies’ Latitude Rugged PC portfolio is designed and tested to withstand the harshest and most demanding environments.

We hear it all the time from our customers: they want a PC that handles today’s modern applications, stays connected no matter where they are, doesn’t run out of power easily and stays functional in varying extreme environments. Our Latitude Rugged PC portfolio has been doing just that.”

Dell Latitude Rugged

Ruggedness, reliability and performance are key when you’re out in the field, but it can’t come at the expense of security. Both the new Dell Latitude 5430 Rugged and the Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme come with TPM 2.0 ControlVault™ advanced authentication to secure devices. Integrated cryptographic keys, contacted and contactless smartcard reader and touch fingerprint reader options provide additional device security. In addition to all these features, first responders and public safety personnel can use the 5G-network connectivity option to coordinate field responses quickly during emergencies.

Taking a closer look

If you have a job that requires excellent field durability combined with optimal performance, then the Latitude 5430 Rugged is for you. Starting at only 1.97kg, the 5430 is built for performance, coming with an optional professional discrete graphics card. It’s drop-tested from up to 3-feet and Ingress Protection (IP)-53 rated for a high-degree of protection against dust, dirt and water ingress.

Taking it up a notch with enhanced durability, the Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme features a 1400-nit direct-sunlight viewable and gloved multi-touch capable screen, is drop tested from up to 1.8 meters and has an IP-65 rating for maximum protection against dust, dirt and water ingress.

All of this comes with Dell Technologies’ industry-leading enterprise services and support, including Next-Business-Day on-site support option. Both devices are the first from Dell Technologies to ship with the new Windows 11 preinstalled, providing the best and smoothest user experience possible from the start – because experience should be the same no matter what condition. To further enhance the performance of the system, new Rugged laptops also come with Dell Optimizer, a software application that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize performance based on usage.

Availability

 Dell Latitude Rugged 5430 and 7730 laptops will be globally available for order on December 9th, 2021, shipping with Windows 11.

HP Helps Bring Creativity to Life with Breakthrough Devices. #HP #Laptops #Tech

Today, HP Inc. unveiled its newest Z by HP mobile workstation and HP ENVY portfolio – designed for creators who push the envelope of what’s possible. The HP ZBook Studio, HP ZBook Create, and HP’s touch screen laptop, the HP ENVY 15 are the latest additions to the HP Create Ecosystem, which launched at Adobe MAX in 2019.

The powerful line-up enables all levels of creators, including consumers, prosumers and professionals, to capture, create, and bring to life digital concepts and ideas that can be shared, enjoyed, and experienced. In the past, creators had to choose between heavy workstations or bulky gaming devices to get the power they require for work and play. Today, HP is pushing the boundaries of engineering and creative productivity by allowing photographers, vloggers, graphic designers, architects, film makers, and everyone in between, to achieve what was never thought possible.

“As we continue learning how to adapt to new ways of working and learning during these unprecedented times, one thing remains constant – everyone is a creator and needs the right tools to bring their creations to life,” said Alex Cho, president, Personal Systems, HP Inc. “Whether it’s the ZBook Studio, the most powerful workstation of its size, or the ENVY 15 with gaming-class thermal solutions, HP is giving professional creators the power needed for their next breakthrough and anyone who wants to create, the versatility needed to power their passion.”

With a rich history of PC innovations for the creative community, HP is the ideal technology partner for the next generation of creators. For Gen Z creators, the practice of creativity is instinctual, and they need a device that helps bring their expressions to life as quickly as the latest memes and trending topics come and go. For those who create professionally – from design, modeling, coding, or application design – Z by HP solutions are perfect small form-factor powerhouse solutions for resource-intensive tasks. The HP ENVY portfolio, including the newest ENVY 15, is built for today’s consumers and prosumers who regularly edit photos and video, or develop graphics or web designs.

“Creatives need the power to work from anywhere,” said Bob Pette, vice president and general manager of professional visualization, NVIDIA. “Accelerated by NVIDIA Quadro and GeForce RTX GPUs and backed by NVIDIA Studio drivers, HP’s ZBook Studio, ZBook Create and ENVY 15 deliver on the performance, mobility and reliability that creators demand.”

HP’s ZBook Studio, ZBook Create, and ENVY 15 laptops with RTX GPUs are members of NVIDIA’s RTX Studio program, featuring acceleration for demanding ray-traced rendering and AI creative workloads, and Studio drivers for outstanding reliability.

Z by HP: Power Your Breakthrough

The HP ZBook Studio, the world’s most powerful mobile workstation per cubic centimetre[, and HP ZBook Create, the world’s smallest 15” notebook for creation and gaming[v], allows users to create on-the-go unlike ever before. There has been a 47% growth in thin and light form factors over the past three years, but most devices are still not designed for demanding workflows with professional applications, graphics, or color accuracy. The latest additions to the Z by HP portfolio are purpose-built and re-engineered from the ground up to meet the demanding needs of the most creative applications and workflows and provide optimal experiences today and in the future.

In 2015, the Scientific and Engineering Award was awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the development of the HP LP2480zx Professional DreamColor display[vi]. The ZBook Studio and ZBook Create bring the first DreamColor display with 17.5 hour, all-day battery life2 to visual effects artists, animators, and colorists worldwide, enabling them to accurately represent their content on-screen from anywhere because of DreamColor’s built-in colorimeter for automatic self-calibration, 100% sRGB and Adobe RGB for accuracy, and over a billion colors[vii] for smoother shading and more consistent gradients.
