COMPUTEX 2013: DELL


   
"We have taken outstanding products and made them even better with improved performance, sleek design and state-of-the-art security and management capabilities”  - Kirk Schell, vice president, PC Product Group, Dell.

American PC manufacturer Dell may have faced some issues during the first part of 2013 but it didn’t stop the company from announcing enhancements to its line of computers which it announced this week in Taipei at Computex 2013.

DELL XPS PRODUCTS

The new Dell XPS systems now feature performance and expandability enhancements over the previous generation in order to meet customer expectations with regards to performance. The new XPS 27 AIO features an Adobe RGB quad-HD display which lets users design, create and enjoy multimedia with brighter and more vibrant colors. Dell also announced the XPS 8700 versatile desktop which it claims is built with speed, expandability and storage in mind.


There’s also the XPS 12 convertible laptop which is designed to be faster and more efficient than its predecessor. According to Dell, the new XPS 12 provides 63% overall performance improvement, 1.6 times faster and can outperform the earlier generation XPS laptops by more than 2 hours in terms of battery life.


Lastly, Dell also introduced the XPS 11, an 11.6-inch Ultrabook that transforms to a tablet thanks to a new hinge that allows the device to fold all the way back into a tablet mode similar to Lenovo’s Yoga convertibles. The XPS 11 will come standard with 2560 x 1440 IPS display, a Core i5 processor and a touch keyboard that resembles the Surface Pro’s. The XPS 11 is scheduled to hit the shelves by Q4 2013.

DELL LATITUDE AND OPTIPLEX PRODUCTS

Dell has also announced the new Latitude E6540, the latest addition to its secure commercial laptop line up. The E6540 features a FIPS 140-2 certified TPM and Dell Data Protection that includes comprehensive file-level encryption, advanced authentication and malware protection to guard users’ data.


The OptiPlex 9020 also makes a debut at Computex 2013. The OptiPlex 9020 is the company’s most manageable Intel vPro-enabled desktop which also makes it the company’s most powerful commercial PC to date. It is available in 4 form factors including a compact AIO, and three chassis sizes built from recycled plastic.

The OptiPlex can also be cloud enabled with the Dell Cloud Desktop feature, a newly incorporated desktop and application virtualization technology powered by Dell Wyse WSM. This new feature, Dell computers can be configured to be stateless and diskless allowing a device to be shared to a number of virtual users under a secure environment with centralized management and storage at the same time offering the same look, performance, feel and function of a traditional desktop with an OS.

DELL ALIENWARE GAMING PRODUCTS


Also on Dell’s menu for Computex is its slim-design X51 Alienware desktop. The desktop comes with a Haswell processor (up to quad-core i7-4770) and an optional 2GB Nvidia GTX 670 GPU. The design of the desktop hasn't changed compared to the one launched in London last February but the price has been bumped to $900.

DELL PC PERIPHERALS


Dell is also throwing in some PC accessories including a 21.5-inch touch monitor (S2240T) which we wrote about just before the event. There are also 2 new multifunction printers on Dell’s list – the B1165nfw and B1265dfw which are designed to provide growing businesses and home users with affordable printing solutions to complement their desktops.
