Additional Intel Core Series 3 systems will be introduced at a later date.

The Dell Pro notebooks include Dell Pro Premium, designed for executives and customer-facing managers who are frequently on-the-go. which sets a new standard for executive-class notebooks. Up to 7% thinner than the previous generation in a sleek form factor, the 14-inch laptop features a lightweight magnesium alloy chassis finished in magnetite. The Tandem OLED display option provides exceptional color and contrast, and the 8MP HDR camera offers remarkable video call quality. As the lightest Dell Pro laptop, Dell Pro Premium sets a new standard for executive-class notebooks.

Dell Pro 7 is built for consultants and sales professionals who refuse to choose between portability and capability. Combining versatility with design, these are the thinnest 13- and 14-inch commercial laptops and 2-in-1s in their class. Now up to 18% thinner than the previous generation Dell Pro 7 features an elegant aluminum chassis with the performance to handle demanding business applications. The sleek edge-to-edge Gorilla Glass touchscreen with up to 500-nit display provides a beautiful viewing experience on the 2-in-1s—whether working on a client presentation at an office or in a cramped airline seat. With premium options for an elevated experience—such as OLED displays, up to 8MP cameras and battery-saving mini-LED backlight keyboard technology—customers can customize the experience to fit their user needs.

Dell Pro 5 offers the most scalable performance in its class. Organizations can configure these systems across a selection of Intel and AMD processor options, display choices, and memory and storage configurations to match their specific workflow requirements and IT standards. Available in 14- and 16-inch sizes, Dell Pro 5 is up to 12% thinner than the previous generation and up to 21% thinner than competing designs, providing mobility for users like financial analysts and project managers, while maintaining performance needed for business-critical applications. Brighter 400- and 500-nit displays with up to OLED improve visibility in any working environment, while the large 70Wh battery delivers extended runtime for long work sessions.

Dell Pro 3 delivers reliable business computing for administrative assistants or support specialists handling core productivity tasks—email, web applications, document creation and video conferencing—at maximum value. Starting at just 2.89 pounds in 14- and 16-inch form factors, the new metallic topcoat gives a smooth and scratch-resistant finish, and sleek and tapered profile provides a modern appearance. With WWAN, Wi-Fi 7, 400- and 500-nit display options, and long battery life, Dell Pro 3 packs notable features in a highly portable device.

Dell Pro 5 Micro Desktop: Compact and Powerful

Dell Pro’s growing desktop family adds the new Dell Pro 5 Micro, delivering desktop-class performance in an ultra-compact form factor designed for space-constrained environments. With integrated Type-C connectivity up to 100W power delivery-in, the Micro can be powered directly from a USB-C monitor, such as a Dell Pro P Monitor, minimizing cord clutter. As Dell’s first Copilot+ PC mainstream desktop, it delivers 50 TOPS NPU for low-power acceleration of AI workloads and supports memory speeds up to 7200 MT/s for smoother multitasking. The rest of the Dell Pro desktop family continues to ship this year.

Dell Pro Precision Workstations: Power Meets Refinement

Across the Portfolio: Built for IT

At the core, Dell continues to offer the world’s most secure and manageable commercial AI PCs,[xiv] simplifying IT management and helping product data from evolving threats. New quantum-resistant upgrades help protect BIOS and the root of trust against future cryptographic threats, while Halcyon on-the-box now makes Dell the only commercial PCs equipped for ransomware resilience. Dell’s standardized BIOS across silicon partners allows IT teams to deploy multiple processor types under a single image, while the industry-first cloud-based Intel vPro provisioning solution provides remote, zero-touch fleet deployment.

Modular designs and the use of recycled, renewable and low-emissions materials support customers’ sustainability ambitions and extend PC longevity. As the first PC manufacturer to introduce modular USB-C ports in commercial PCs, Dell now brings modular components, including USB-C ports, mainboards and customer replaceable batteries, to Dell Pro notebooks and select Dell Pro Precision mobile workstations. Dell also has the widest portfolio of commercial PCs with 100% recycled cobalt batteries.

Dell Pro P Monitors and Peripherals: Designed for How People Actually Work

Most professionals do not have dedicated desks anymore. They hot-desk, work remotely and jump between conference rooms. Dell’s expanded Pro P monitors and accessories lineup are designed for that reason.

Dell Pro P 34 USB-C Hub Conferencing Monitor, certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, turns any workspace into a virtual meeting-ready setup. Its Sony Starvis 5MP HDR camera delivers professional-grade clarity even in low light conditions, while AI auto-framing keeps users centered on-screen. Dual beamforming AI noise cancellation microphones cut user background noise for distraction-free conversations and a mechanical privacy shutter plus Windows Hello sign-in add security.

Dell Pro P 27 USB-C Hub Monitor is for users who do not require built-in conferencing features but want reliable performance. It offers an FHD IPS panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate and supports up to four monitors daisy chained. Silent Firmware Update completes updates up to 90% faster and runs silently during idle state, eliminating reboots, alerts and any disruptions to employee productivity.

All Dell Pro P Monitors are TÜV Rheinland 4-star certified for eye comfort, made with up to 95% post-consumer recycled plastic and meet ENERGY STAR®, EPEAT Gold and latest TCO Certified Edge standards.

 

New peripherals complete the setup:

  • Dell Pro 5 Wired Fingerprint ESS Mouse provides advanced, hardware-level protection through Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) for Windows Hello authentication, making it more secure against malicious attacks. This mouse is a fast, convenient and secure alternative to long complex passwords.

  • Dell Pro 7 Rechargeable Compact Keyboard and Mouse combine a compact design with supercapacitor technology for exceptional battery life. A quick five-second charge delivers a day of use, while a full charge in under five minutes powers the keyboard for up to three months and the world’s lightest non-Lithium-ion rechargeable mouse for up to 1.5 months.

Together, these systems form a cohesive commercial portfolio for modern hybrid work with on-device AI.

Rob Bruckner, president, Client Solutions Group, Dell Technologies: “At CES, we showed what’s possible when consumer design and innovation come together. Today, we’re proving we can scale that same strategy across our entire commercial portfolio – and do it fast. IT leaders can deploy sleek and modern devices users actually want to use at every level of the organization, along with improved performance, without sacrificing the manageability, security or value they demand.”

Pat Moorhead, CEO, founder and chief analyst, Moorhead Insights & Strategy “Enterprise buyers are navigating a major PC refresh cycle with rising demands for security, manageability and workload flexibility. As CIOs prioritize long-term value, they are focusing on systems that align to specific workloads, offer silicon choice and can be deployed consistently across distributed environments. Supply chain volatility and longer planning cycles are also driving interest in platforms that reduce procurement risk while maintaining standardization. Dell’s engineering and design updates across its commercial PC portfolio deliver on these dynamics, combining multiple silicon options with enterprise-grade security and manageability to give buyers greater flexibility as they plan and standardize their endpoint environments.”

How Live Entertainment Technology Is Changing Traditional Table Games

If you’ve spent any time wandering through the quiet, prestigious streets of Mayfair, you know that the atmosphere of a high-end gaming room is nearly impossible to bottle. It’s the sound of a shuffled deck, the weighted click of a chip, and that unspoken nod between a dealer and a regular. For a long time, the digital world simply couldn’t compete with that. But things have shifted. We’ve moved far beyond the clunky, cartoonish graphics of the early internet. Today, the tech driving live entertainment is doing something quite remarkable: it’s making the screen disappear.

While 4K streaming is certainly a treat for the eyes, the most significant change isn’t found in pixel counts alone—it’s in the depth of the immersion. With the integration of Augmented Reality (AR), you’re no longer just looking at a video feed of a table. You’re seeing digital overlays that track every card movement and betting pattern in real-time. It’s a bit surreal, honestly. You might be sitting on your sofa, but the visual data makes the game feel more transparent than ever.

Bridging the Gap to the Physical Floor

I’ve often wondered if a digital interface could ever truly replicate the “soul” of a physical club. Interestingly, advances in live dealer casino technology are often compared to the experience offered in physical venues across Mayfair, specifically in how they prioritize the human element. The dealers aren’t just there to flip cards; they are trained entertainers and facilitators.

High-speed, low-latency 5G has been the real hero here. Without it, the “live” part of the experience would be a stuttering mess. Now, the interaction is instantaneous. When you ask a question or place a late bet, the response is immediate. This lack of lag creates a kind of psychological bridge. Before you know it, your brain stops treating the screen like a “game” and starts treating the whole thing like a genuine event. It’s a strange shift. This seamlessness happens because of several layers of tech humming away in the background—stuff you’d never notice unless it broke.

Take Optical Camera Recognition, for instance. It’s basically the “eyes” of the operation, instantly translating a physical card shuffle into digital data. Then you have the cinematography. It isn’t just a static webcam anymore; automated cameras now pivot and zoom based on where the action is, much like how your own eyes would dart around a table in a real room. Some setups are even experimenting with haptic feedback, where your phone gives a tiny, tactile buzz to mimic the vibration of a roulette ball hitting the pocket. It sounds small, but those little touches really pull you in.

Why It Matters Beyond the Fun

It isn’t all just bells and whistles, though. I’ve noticed that as the tech gets more sophisticated, the people running the show have to be more responsible, too. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword. There’s a lot of talk about how AI monitors these games now. While that sounds a bit “Big Brother,” it’s actually there to spot patterns of risky behavior that a human eye might miss. I think it’s a positive step.

It’s how regulations drive responsible online casino gaming that really defines the current era. By using data to ensure players are staying within their limits, the industry is trying to prove it can be both high-tech and high-standard. It’s about longevity, not just a quick thrill.

What do you think about this digital shift? Does the convenience of a high-tech live stream ever truly beat the feeling of a night out in a classic London venue, or is the technology finally getting close enough to call it a draw? I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether you prefer the haptic buzz of a phone or the weight of a premium gaming chip.

 

OBSBOT Tiny 3 and OBSBOT Vox SE Wireless Microphone – Review

At TechBuzz Ireland we have looked at several OBSBOT products over the years, and the Tiny 3 with the Vox SE Wireless Microphone continues that trend with a compact PTZ webcam and matching wireless audio kit aimed at creators and remote workers. The camera itself is the real highlight here, with a small, solid build and plenty of smart features, while most of the drawbacks in this package are centred around the microphone and its accessories rather than the Tiny 3.​

Design, build and what you get

The Tiny 3 arrives in the familiar OBSBOT‑style packaging, and having reviewed many of these units before, the presentation and layout will feel very familiar. The first noticeable detail is just how small and compact the Tiny 3 is, yet it still feels solid in the hand and well put together.​

In the box you get the Tiny 3 camera, USB‑C cable, USB‑C to USB‑A adapter, adjustable mount, user manual, warranty card and a dedicated Tiny 3 storage case. The case is a big practical plus, as it keeps the camera, mount and cable together and protected, which matters more here because of the exposed gimbal design.​

The body uses an aircraft‑grade aluminium alloy with a dual‑axis gimbal, and despite the compact size it never feels flimsy. At around 63 g it is light enough to carry every day, but still has enough weight that it does not feel like a cheap plastic webcam perched on top of your screen.​

Key specs and features

Inside, the Tiny 3 is built around a 1/1.28‑inch CMOS sensor with effective pixels of 50 MP, giving it plenty of resolution to work with for both 4K and lower‑resolution modes. It supports up to 4K at 30 fps and 1080p at 120 fps, along with a 4x digital zoom and a 2‑axis gimbal for smooth framing and movement.​

You also get DCG HDR, wide ISO support from 100 to 12800, and Dual All‑Pixel PDAF autofocus for quick and reliable focusing. On the audio side, the Tiny 3 has an intelligent directional built‑in mic system and can also connect to external audio devices such as the Vox SE.​

OBSBOT has packed in a long list of headline features including:

  • Top‑tier spatial audio performance
  • “Tiny in Size, Titan in Performance” compact design
  • Premium imaging system aimed at flagship‑level webcam quality
  • Industry‑leading AI features such as Smarter AI Tracking 2.0, voice‑activated control and effortless framing
  • Powerful creative software with professional image controls and creative tools
  • RTC remote interaction for real‑time remote control and streaming
  • OBSBOT Avatar & Virtual Voice (beta) for VTubing and motion capture
  • Seamless integration into the wider OBSBOT ecosystem, including multicam setups and wireless audio workflows​

Setup and software

Out of the box, the Tiny 3 works as a plug‑and‑play webcam and can be used straight away with apps like Microsoft Teams, Skype and similar platforms. That said, to really get the most from the hardware it is strongly recommended to download and install the free OBSBOT Center software and update to the latest firmware.​

Once the software is installed, you gain access to more detailed image controls, AI tracking options, presets and creative tools. The physical unit can sit on top of a laptop or monitor using the adjustable mount, or you can use the built‑in 1/4‑inch thread to attach it to a tripod (tripod not included) for more flexible positioning.​

The overall setup process is straightforward if you are used to webcams, but there is still a bit of learning involved if you want to explore all of the AI and control features the Tiny 3 offers.​

Voice and gesture control

Voice control remains one of the more standout features on the Tiny 3, allowing you to use commands such as “Hi Tiny”, “Sleep Tiny”, “Track me”, “Unlock me”, “Zoom in”, “Zoom out” and preset positions 1, 2 and 3. When it works, it gives you a very convenient hands‑free way to control framing and behaviour, particularly useful when you are away from the keyboard during a call or recording.​

Gesture control is also supported and allows you to trigger actions using simple hand movements, making it easy to start tracking or adjust framing without fumbling around in software menus. Together with the AI tracking, these controls help the Tiny 3 feel more like a small PTZ studio camera than a basic webcam.​

OBSBOT Vox Wireless Microphone

Alongside the Tiny 3, I also tested the OBSBOT Vox Wireless Microphone, which is designed to work seamlessly with the Tiny 3 series. The microphone kit comes with its own carry case, and this is important because there are a lot of small accessories included which could easily get lost otherwise.​

In the case you will find the compact wireless mic unit along with a furry windshield, lanyard, magnetic holder, necklace and a USB‑C charging docking station. The mic itself is made from hard plastic and feels solid given its size, and the overall idea is to provide a flexible, cable‑free audio solution that fits neatly into the OBSBOT ecosystem.​

From a technical point of view the Vox has some strong numbers: it offers studio‑grade audio quality with omnidirectional pickup, dual‑channel recording, plug‑and‑play operation, extended battery life and versatile mounting options. It is designed to work with smartphones and tablets that have USB‑C, and integrates with OBSBOT Center and OBSBOT Live.​

The microphone specifications include:

  • Dimensions: 28.53 × 25.47 × 11.5 mm
  • Weight: approx. 9 g (excluding magnetic clip)
  • Usage time: up to 20 hours
  • Microphone directivity: omnidirectional
  • Sensitivity: −37 dBFS ±1 dBFS @ 1 kHz, 94 dB SPL
  • Maximum sound pressure level: 123 dB SPL
  • Signal‑to‑noise ratio: 68 dBA
  • Frequency response: 50 Hz–20 kHz
  • Sampling rate and bit depth: 48 kHz/24‑bit
  • Wireless mode: GFSK 2 Mbps
  • Battery voltage: 3.7 V (operating 3.3–4.4 V)
  • Working distance: up to 100 m in open, interference‑free conditions
  • Battery capacity: 170 mAh
  • Operating temperature: 0–40°C​

In use, the Vox works well in terms of audio quality and wireless range, delivering a clutter‑free, cable‑free workflow when paired with the Tiny 3. However, there are some niggles: the large number of small accessories makes it easier to misplace parts, and charging the microphones through the dock feels less convenient than if OBSBOT had used a more straightforward wireless charging solution or a single USB‑C connection directly to the kit.​

 

Software integration and niggles

Connecting the Vox to the OBSBOT camera through the software is not completely intuitive on first install. The instructions tell you to select mode, go to Audio, choose OBSBOT Microphone and then add TX1/TX2, but actually finding those options in the software for the first time can be a bit of a challenge.​

Once you have located the correct settings, pairing works as expected and is easy enough, but this initial friction is worth noting if you are not used to digging through software menus. This contrasts with the camera side of things, where basic setup is closer to plug‑and‑play, particularly if you just want to use the Tiny 3 as a standard webcam first and explore the extra features later.​

Warranty

One area that feels slightly out of step with the overall premium feel of the Tiny 3 and Vox kit is the warranty. The package comes with a one‑year warranty, which is fine on paper but a bit of a disappointment given the quality of the hardware and the fact that the Tiny 3 has moving parts in the gimbal.​

For a product at this level and price point, a longer warranty would provide more peace of mind, especially for users planning to use it heavily for work or content creation.​

Verdict

Overall, the OBSBOT Tiny 3 is a pleasure to use and feels like a Swiss‑Army‑knife style webcam – small, responsive and packed with genuinely useful features. The 2‑axis gimbal, digital zoom, fast response and hand gesture/voice controls make it easy to frame shots the way you want, whether you are on calls or creating content as part of the wider OBSBOT ecosystem.​

As with previous OBSBOT units I have used, the Tiny 3 feels solid in the hand, with a compact design and included storage case that make it simple to carry between setups without worrying about the gimbal. The free software adds more creative control and multiple ways to operate the camera, so you can get more out of it than a standard plug‑and‑play webcam while still being able to drop it into everyday apps like Teams or Skype.​

The add‑on Vox wireless microphone technically works well, with good audio and range, but the number of small accessories, the extra charging dock and the slightly awkward first‑time setup in the software mean most of my niggles are around the mic rather than the camera. A longer warranty than one year would better match the premium feel of the kit, but taken on its own, the Tiny 3 is an easy camera to recommend if you want a compact, feature‑rich webcam that can grow with you inside the OBSBOT ecosystem.​

The AI tracking capabilities were particularly impressive, accurately following subjects even in challenging lighting conditions.

Optional Remote Control

The review unit came with an optional remote control, which connected effortlessly via the supplied USB receiver. This accessory greatly enhances the user experience, allowing for easy adjustments without accessing the laptop keyboard.

Warranty

The 1-year warranty, while standard, feels somewhat limited given the premium features of this camera. A longer warranty period would better reflect the quality and innovation packed into this device.

Conclusion

The OBSBOT Tiny SE AI-Powered Full HD PTZ Webcam continues the company’s tradition of delivering feature-rich, high-performance webcams at accessible price points. Its advanced AI capabilities, smooth tracking, and excellent low-light performance make it an outstanding choice for remote workers, content creators, and streamers operating in small to medium-sized spaces.

For those requiring coverage of larger areas or higher resolutions, the OBSBOT Tail 2 NDI Combo might be a more suitable option. However, for most users, the Tiny SE offers an impressive balance of features, performance, and value.

Having used various OBSBOT webcams over the years, I can confidently say that the Tiny SE maintains the brand’s reputation for solid construction, feature-rich offerings, and smooth, fluid movement. It stands out as a great quality webcam that punches above its weight in terms of features and performance at its price point.

Poly Studio P5 USB-A webcam review

The Poly Studio P5 is a solid and robust 1080p HD webcam, weighing in at just 68 grams. This lightweight design ensures that it won’t overpower your laptop screen. Compatible with major operating systems, the P5 comes equipped with an integrated microphone optimised for video calls. It connects easily via a USB cable, making it a convenient addition to any workspace. The webcam also features a mechanical privacy shutter, providing peace of mind when not in use.

 

Manufacturer Background

At Techbuzz Ireland, we have reviewed a variety of products from Plantronics, Poly, and HP, including their well-known Poly Voyager headsets, printers, and cameras. In 2018, Polycom was acquired by Plantronics, and in 2019, the combined entity was rebranded as Poly. The company was sold to HP in 2022, which has since integrated Poly’s offerings into its support channels.

Setup:

Setting up the Poly Studio P5 is minimalistic and straightforward thanks to its plug-and-play functionality. I connected it directly to a Windows USB-A port, and it automatically set itself as the default device during an MS Teams call, including audio. Poly Lens

Desktop App (Windows Only)

The Poly Lens Desktop app allows you to configure and manage your Poly audio and video devices while enhancing your work environment with wellbeing reminders. However, I found the software interface somewhat outdated compared to modern standards. Although the camera performed well technically, it lacked the advanced features I would expect from HP/Poly. For instance, when attempting to update the software, the app indicated that a new version was available, yet none could be found.

Warranty – 2 years

Conclusion

As anticipated from HP/Poly products, the plug-and-play functionality of the Studio P5 worked seamlessly without any issues. The build quality is commendable; however, an upgrade to a USB-C cable instead of USB-A would be beneficial for modern setups. While the camera does not include a carry case—something that would be advantageous for hybrid working environments—the essential features are well-executed.The camera delivers excellent performance with quality optics, low-light compensation, and pro-grade resolution at 1080p. The four times digital zoom and directional microphone ensure a personalised video conferencing experience without requiring extensive technical setup. Overall, the Poly Studio P5 USB-A webcam offers good picture quality and audio performance even in challenging lighting conditions. It is an ideal choice for users seeking a reliable and straightforward solution for video calls and online meetings at a reasonable price point.
