Dell has reinforced its commitment to empower the evolving workforce in Asia Pacific with the introduction of new desktop and mobile devices. The new range of products comprises the latest XPS 13 Ultrabook and XPS 15 laptop, Latitude 7000 series 2-in-1 and Venue 11 Pro tablets, OptiPlex range of desktop solutions and the latest Dell UltraSharp 5k Display Monitor.
“Asia Pacific remains a key focus and growth driver for Dell’s client solution business and we recognize the value of delivering new innovations that are tailored to the needs of our customers in the region,” said James Johnston, Executive Director and General Manager, Client Solutions, Dell APJ.
Dell’s total client solutions business maintains its No. 2 position in APJ with 11 percent market share, according to IDC’s WW Quarterly PC Tracker, Q3 2014.

Dell claims the new XPS 13 is the smallest 13-inch laptop in the world with the power to get work done anywhere. The XPS 13 has a battery life of over 15 hours of run time on a single charge. The laptop’s UltraSharp Quad HD+ display boasts 5.7 million pixels, so movies and presentations will burst with eye-popping color and precise detail. Fifth-generation Intel processors boot the system from cold in seconds, and the remarkably light form factor clocks in at a mere 2.6 lbs.
Dell is also introducing the new XPS 15, which continues to surpass expectations by delivering jaw-dropping resolution and vibrant color in a new UltraSharp 4K Ultra HD touch display.
Boasting over 8 million pixels, the 4K2K screen option is one of the highest resolution panels available on a 15-inch laptop today.
Accelerating productivity for the mobile workers
According to a recent Harris International Tablet Survey conducted for Dell, more than one third of IT decision makers are apprehensive of the time required to set up, configure, manage and secure tablets when compared to laptops. While organizations’ IT departments are hesitant to allow usage of mobile devices in the workplace, Dell’s Global Evolving Workforce Study found that tablets and 2-in-1 devices are gaining popularity in the workplace, with 60 percent of workers claiming to use more than one device to be productive.
As such, Dell is introducing its most secure 2-in-1 device, which combines a lightweight Ultrabook and a detachable 13-inch tablet in one powerful device, featuring Intel Core M processors.

The new Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 offers a large 13.3-inch display and a professional, ISO-certified backlit keyboard, bolstered by the convenience of Instant Go from sleep mode, a feature often reserved for smart phones and traditional tablets. When paired with the Dell Mobile Office, a suite of accessories specifically designed for this device—a carrying case, sleeve, power companion and universal dongle—the Latitude 13 7000 Series 2-in-1 detachable laptop offers ultra-mobile professionals a first-class productivity experience.
To meet the rising demands of tablets in the Asia Pacific workforce, Dell is launching the Dell Venue 11 Pro 7000 Series for customers in the region.
First unveiled at Dell World 2014, the Venue 11 Pro 7000 Series tablets are designed to accelerate productivity for mobile workers and provide secure access to content beyond the corporate firewall for easy IT management.
The new Venue 11 Pro is 15 percent thinner, has an extended battery life and a travel keyboard for a full laptop experience and accompanying thin keyboard for ultra-portability.
Latitude family of commercial PCs
Dell is also introducing new additions to the Latitude family of commercial PCs to offer a variety of work styles and use cases, starting with the new Latitude 7000 series featuring Intel’s Core M Broadwell processors.
Available in a 12-inch or 14-inch screen size, this new thin, lightweight Ultrabook offers mobility at its finest, starting at just 19.4mm thin and 2.76lbs. The Latitude 7000 Series is loaded with Dell Data Protection and Dell ControlVault including comprehensive encryption, advanced authentication, and malware prevention, making it the world’s most secure Ultrabook.
Dell also introduced the Latitude 12 5000 Series. Thin and sleek, it starts at just 3.4 pounds and 22.7mm thin. It is built with enhanced materials for durability and enterprise-class support and services.
A new workspace experience
Acknowledging end-users’ needs to be protected while they work and collaborate, Dell brings its latest security-enhanced All-in-One devices to its customers in Asia Pacific.
Designed for organizations focused on maintaining secure data ecosystems, Dell OptiPlex 9030 and OptiPlex 3030 feature Intel Fourth Generation Core processors and come fully-loaded with a wide variety of Dell security tools. Both the 9030 and 3030 are Trusted Platform Module5 1.2 certified.
They are pre-loaded with Dell Data Protection and Security, Dell Data Protection and Encryption, Dell Data Protection and Protected Workspace and Dell Secure Works. Intel Identity Protection, Anti-Theft and Execution Technology are all pre-loaded onto the 9030 and 3030.
Dell says the OptiPlex 9030 is the most secure commercial all-in-one desktop of its class, and features a 23-inch desktop and fourth generation Intel i5-i7 Quad Core Processors for high performance.
The 9030 is the company’s thinnest all-in-one on the market, and comes packed with a full HD webcam and Microsoft Lync Certification.

With ProSupport functionality, Dell has promised to provide 24-hour support for its customers anywhere and anytime they need assistance.
The OptiPlex 3030 utilizes many of the same features as the 9030 but is suited for both the classroom and the workplace. The 3030 sports an all-in-one chassis with fourth generation Intel Core processors and an HD touchscreen, in addition to being able to run either Windows 8.1 or Ubuntu. Several security features including a lockable port cover, lock slot support and Dell’s Protected Workspace solutions make the 3030 a better fit for multi-user environments than the 9030.
As performance remains to be the most important aspect employees seek in a work device and desktop PCs, according to results from Dell’s Evolving Workforce Study, Dell has launched its latest OptiPlex 9020 and 3020 Micro PCs.
With a chassis design of only 1.2 liters, 67% smaller than Dell’s smallest desktop form factor, and with five different mounting options, the new OptiPlex 9020 and 3020 Micro PCs provide the power employees expect in a desktop that answers the needs of smaller – or more specialized – working spaces.
The OptiPlex 9020 Micro is ideal for environments where space is limited and security is a priority, while the OptiPlex 3020 Micro provides essential business class performance in a compact unit.
