Dell has announced an expanded portfolio of award-winning devices at CES 2015, featuring premium materials, stylish finishes and the latest technologies from its XPS, Alienware, Venue, Inspiron and displays families.
“The new products announced today raise the bar in every category, with style, substance and software solutions customers can only get from Dell,” says Sam Burd, vice-president: Client Solutions Product Group at Dell. “Whether you are a gamer, always on the go or buying a laptop or desktop for everyday use, Dell is building in the features and functionality customers care about.”
The XPS family of devices has always been designed to balance form and function. The Dell XPS 13 is the smallest 13-inch laptop in the world with a virtually borderless infinity display and the power to get work done anywhere. The XPS 13, with Windows 8.1, features the longest battery life of a 13-inch notebook with up to 15 hours of run time on a single charge. The laptop’s optional UltraSharp Quad HD+ infinity display, with 5.2mm bezels, boasts 5,7-million pixels, while the 5th Generation Intel Core processors and solid state drives provide performance and responsiveness, and the form factor starts at a mere 1.18kgs.
The XPS 15 delivers colour and resolution in a new UltraSharp 4K Ultra HD touch display. With more than 8-million pixels, the 4K Ultra HD screen option is the highest resolution panel available on a 15-inch laptop today.
The Alienware 15 and 17 Windows laptops are the newest members of the iconic family of gaming systems. Both systems pack the latest gaming technologies, including optional Intel Core i7 quad-core processors and NVIDIA GTX 980m graphics, and are also compatible with the Alienware Graphics Amplifier. The new Alienware 15 and 17 are both more than 20% thinner than their predecessors and feature full-powered performance components without throttling. The notebooks enable their graphics cards with 100% of their rated wattage to deliver maximum graphics performance when a gamer needs it.
The new Alienware 15 and 17 laptops use the Alienware Graphics Amplifier to power a command centre at home or taking high frames per second (FPS) matches on the road. The new notebooks are constructed with elements such as copper, aluminum and carbon-fibre composites for a rigid and performance-focused mechanical design.
The Venue 8 7000 Series, first unveiled at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) last September, will be available for purchase in selected European countries in the coming weeks. The tablet features a series of firsts.
Based on the Intel Atom processor Z3500 series, it is the world’s thinnest tablet at 6mm, and it features the best tablet display available today, a 2 560 x 1 600 OLED infinity edge-to-edge display. The Venue 8 7000 Series is also the first to integrate the Intel RealSense Snapshot Depth Camera, which captures a depth map for every picture taken
The Dell Inspiron family is proud to unveil a new suite of standout offerings, including the Inspiron 15 7000 Series laptop with Windows, a 2015 CES Innovation Award honoree. The Inspiron 15 7000 Series launches at CES with new 5th Generation Intel Core processors and a 4K UHD touch display option.
Dell has also launched the Intel RealSense 3D Camera Front F200 on the Inspiron 23 All-in-One desktop. The 3D camera enables new ways to interact in gaming, entertainment, collaboration and content creation, allowing users to download from a library of new apps in the Intel App Showcase that take advantage of the camera’s depth sensing capabilities. Users can play with gestures in the immersive apps and use the Intel RealSense 3D Camera Front F200 for 3D scanning and 3D printing.
The Inspiron 15 5000 Series boasts the new 5th Generation Intel Core processors for responsive performance and almost eight hours of battery life, packaged in a form factor as thin and light as 22.7mm and 2.68kgs.
Inspiron 5000 and 7000 Series laptops also feature True Color display technology for exceptional visual clarity and colour fidelity that allows movies to look how the director intended and photos to look as they did when you were there.
First previewd at Pax Prime in August 2014, the curved Dell UltraSharp 34 Monitor U3415W is available now. Users will enter new dimensions of gaming and multi-tasking with an immersive, panoramic, curved screen that surrounds the senses with WQHD resolution. At 34 inches with a 21:9 aspect ratio, the U3415W, the curved screen optimises the field of view and minimises eye movement to deliver a more comfortable viewing experience than a flat screen.
