Dell launches powerful Latitude 7000, 5000 and 3000 series notebooks in Malaysia 

The modern workspace needs devices for employees that are powerful, reliable and above all, operationally secure which is where Dell’s 10th generation of notebooks and workstations in the form of the Dell Latitude 7000, 5000 and 3000 series notebooks come into the picture with a variety of form factors as well as the new Precision series workstations that blend performance and reasonable cost.

Marking a quarter of a century – that’s 25 years – in the market, the Dell Latitude series are renowned for affordability, sturdiness and performance in equal measure and have done so since their inception.

The new Latitude series offerings from Dell come with the latest hardware to tackle the most demanding work-related tasks but also feature technologies that help lighten the workload and logistics footprint of harried IT departments.

Common across the new range of Dell Latitude series notebooks is Dell’s ExpressCharge tech that offers up to an 80% charge in just an hour while selected Dell Latitude series notebooks come with the even more nifty ExpressCharge Boost offers a 35% charge in just 20 minutes; less time than it takes for a trip to the loo and coffee at the pantry and just enough charge to get you through the average work meeting.

Selected Dell notebooks also get Dell’s ExpressConnect tech which automatically hooks up to the strongest WiFi in the immediate area for 40% faster throughput rather than having to deal with erratic connections.

Dell’s new Latitude series of devices also address another pain point that is the bane of CISOs, network managers and practically everyone else on the planet – security.

Depending on configuration, many of the new Dell Latitude notebooks come with fingerprint readers integrated with power buttons, Windows Hello-capable IR cameras, privacy shutters for webcams and FIPS 201 contacted Smart Card Readers.

Common across the range is Dell’s SafeBIOS utility that eliminates tampering with laptop firmware by checking for BIOS changes via the cloud which effectively eliminates that avenue of attack for threat actors and malware.
