Dell Latitude 9510 Laptop & 2-in-1

Intended as the first of a new generation of 9000-series notebooks, the Dell Latitude 9510 laptop comes in a traditional notebook form factor and as a 2-in-1 convertible that can change from a slate to a notebook as needed.

The new Dell Latitude 9510 was designed for mobile professionals and to that end features some of their best engineering to make it one of Dell’s slimmest and lightest notebooks ever with a chassis hewn of metal and glass that measures in at about 2.04kg. 

Depending on region, the Dell Latitude 9510 notebook and 2-in-1 convertibles will feature 5G connectivity as well as WiFi 6 support, the latest 10th Gen Intel processors and a 15-inch Infinity Edge display in a 14-inch form factor. Other mod-cons include a rated 30 hours of battery life  as well as the inclusion of 4 noise-cancelling microphones to ensure superb conference and video calls.

At the Dell Experience showcase, they also emphasised a refined and enhanced version of their Dell Optimiser software that will be preinstalled on their new generation of notebooks including the Latitude 9510 series that will use machine learning to optimise performance and enhance battery life. There’s no word on launch date or availability in Malaysia but we’ll keep you posted. For more details check out in-depth feature on the Latitude 9510 here.

 

Dell XPS 13

 

Dell’s latest successor to the venerable lineage intends to kick things up by several notches over its 2019 predecessor with a larger display while retaining the same slim form factor that can fit onto an airline fold-out food tray. Something that has come in inestimably handy for those desiring performance and portability.

The improved Dell XPS 13 9300 for 2020 has a 91.5% screen-to-body ratio on account of the slimmer bezels for its Infinity Edge display that is 6.8% bigger than its 2019 predecessor. Screen options will include a 1080P variant, a 1080P with touch and a full-on top-of-the-line 4K UHD variant with touch capability.

Much like its predecessor, the new XPS 13 will have a tiny 2mm sized camera akin to the one that debuted on last year’s XPS 13 2-in-1 in the traditional center-top position on the display though this time around, the notebook has Windows Hello support which makes logging in a lot easier.

Other enhancementsnew  seen at the Dell Experience showcase at 2020 for the XPS 13 include a larger keyboard that now almost reaches edge-to-edge and which features rubber domes that offer 1.0mm key travel. Even the touchpad itself has been enlarged for easier use and is 17% larger than the older model. To keep it cool, the XPS 13 will have a dual-fan cooling design with heat pipes throughout the chassis much like the older model though refinements in metallurgy and design will see it being slimmer and more slightly more powerful.

Under the hood, the XPS 13 will come with the latest 10th generation Intel processors and it will feature 19 hours of battery life, depending on configuration and usage. There’s no word on pricing or availability in Malaysia but we’ll keep you posted. For a closer look at the Dell XPS 13 9300 swing by our in-depth feature here.

Dell G5 15 Special Edition

The Dell G5 15 Special Edition gaming notebook earns its moniker as it’s one of the first Dell notebooks for this generation to have AMD processors. The notebook is 23.7mm thin comes with what Dell calls a ‘fighter plane’ design with curves and a silhouette akin to a high performance air to air superiority fighter.

Dell Mobile Connect now works with iPhones! Yay!

For those in the know, Dell’s range of notebooks starting from 2019 onwards had a secret weapon for multitaskers that let them mirror and interact with the contents of their phone without even having to touch it called Dell Mobile Connect. Essentially, you pair your phone with your Dell laptop be it an Alienware, an XPS or Latitude and once paired up via the provision of a downloadable app on both your phone and Dell rig, you’re up and in business. 

You can drag and drop content seamlessly back and forth from your phone to desktop and vice versa and take calls, messages and whatnot by clicking directly onto a window that mirrors your smartphone display. There was, however, one pickle – it didn’t work with iPhones.

At the Dell Experience showcase at CES 2020, Dell has neatly resolved that complication as the new versions of Dell Mobile Connect with their new generation of notebooks, desktops and whatnot will come with the new compatibility for iPhones.
