Dell: announced the new Latitude and Precision laptops with Intel Core Alder Lake processors

Dell

After unveiling the Alienware gaming lineup at CES 2022, Dell has announced other new laptops for 2022 although this time they are portable and ultraportable for the professional sector, largely designed to be available in both laptop versions. and in the 2-in-1 convertible version. Arriving in April, they therefore aim at the combination of absolute comfort, especially for the models featured that all boast firsts for their small size, and good raw power, guaranteed by the transition to the new 12th generation Intel Core processors. >
Specifically, the Dell Latitude 7000 series and Dell Precision 3000 mobile workstations only feature low-power processors, while the Dell Latitude 5000 series consists of both models with low-power 15 and 28 W CPUs, and a flagship model, the Dell Latitude 5531, which can go up to 45 W models. The same that we find in the cards of the Dell Latitude 9430, the only option of the 9000 series, and in the cards of the Dell Precision 5000 which, even in the case of the model Dell Precision 5470 ultraportable, provide more room for maneuver to those involved in professional graphics. In this case, in fact, the options for the discrete GPU, absent in the Latitudes and more limited for the Precision 3000, start from the NVIDIA RTX A1000 and arrive at the NVIDIA RTX A3000 as a flagship solution.

Universal, on the other hand, is the increase in recycled and recyclable materials, which is important in a sector that is responsible for a large share of electronic pollution, and the support of the now inevitable technologies based on artificial intelligence that promise greater privacy , easier sharing of work and improved efficiency. On the other hand, these are devices that must give guarantees given the recommended prices that start at $ 1440 for the Dell Latitude 5000 series, from $ 1899 for the Dell Latitude 7000 series and from $ 2245 for the Dell Latitude 9430. No figures, instead , for Dell Precision, but given the tight deadlines we expect to know more soon.

Key features

Dell laptops look to all professionals In terms of sustainability, Dell wanted to reiterate its pioneering role in the use of recycled carbon fiber and plant-based bioplastics. This obviously in function of an increasingly circular economy, with the recycling of materials reaching up to 50% for the components of the devices and 100% for the packaging, made entirely of recyclable paper starting from the adhesive tape to seal them. It is a policy that Dell has also applied to various gadgets, including laptop backpacks.

As far as optimization is concerned, as anticipated, the leading role is played by Dell Optimizer AI technologies, compatible with all the company's devices and included for free with all new business models. And this is where we find now almost standard features for pro-oriented devices including silent mode, neural ambient noise cancellation, Intelligent Audio and privacy technologies that allow the camera to detect the presence of the user to disable functions in that unnecessary moments and to darken the screen in case someone takes an inappropriate peek at our work. Therefore, everything necessary for devices designed to allow videoconferencing even in a crowded office.

Simultaneous Data Transfer technology, probably the most interesting of all, is useful regardless of the context. In fact, it allows you to use the physical network connection and the Wi-Fi connection at the same time, in order to increase the overall bandwidth and reduce latency significantly. This, combined with Bandwidth Management and Automatic Network Switching technologies, promises 3x lower lag, up to 20% faster transfer speed and up to 8x higher video quality.

Dell Latitude 9430

Small but powerful, the Dell Latitude 9430 is coming in both laptop and 2-in-1 versions Announced as the smallest in the category of 14-inch 16:10 format for professional use, the Dell Latitude 9430 is in I arrive in both laptop mode and 2-in-1 convertible mode. It is equipped with full mobile functionality thanks to 5G connectivity (exclusive option of the convertible variant), gyroscope, GPS via WWAN card, ambient light sensor and proximity sensor. In addition, the options for the operating system include Windows 10, Windows 11 and even Ubuntu, although in this case starting from mid-2022.

There are no options with dedicated GPU, but this is not surprising given the weight reduced, of 1.27 kg in the laptop version and 1.4 kg in the 2-in-1, which is paired with reduced dimensions, even in thickness. In fact, it starts from 8.42 mm of the thinnest part, the front one, to arrive at 13.91 mm in the thickest part which obviously corresponds to the rear. This without giving up SD reader, new FHD IR camera and 4 speakers with Intelligent Audio and Smart Amplifier.

Dell Latitude 7000

The aluminum version of the ultra-compact Dell Latitude 7330 As anticipated, the updates to the 12th generation Intel Core processors also concern the Dell Latitude 5000, but the Dell Lat series itude 7000 boasts a greater number of new features, despite the memory remains of the 3200 MHz DDR4 type. There are ComfortView screens up to 4K resolution for the 14 and 15.6 inch models, option for the FHD IR camera and an ultralight variant of the Dell Latitude 7330, not surprisingly among the protagonists of the Dell presentation.

The Latitude 7330 Ultralight is limited to 1920 x 1080 but is available in three variants, with the two heavier ones in classic aluminum or carbon fiber, which they boast, according to Dell, the smallest chassis for a 13.3-inch 16: 9 device for professional use. Basically we are talking about the smallest model, obviously in its category, which in the ultralight variant is designed to weigh even less than 1 kg without sacrificing complete connectivity and with a lower price than the models in heavier materials, presumably more robust.

Dell Precision 5000

The Dell Precision 5470 is a 14-inch workstation with dedicated professional GPU The Dell Precision 5000 mobile workstations, upgraded to 12th g Intel Core processors neration in full power models, they look to those who work with graphics while having the need for an ultraportable system. They do not provide 2-in-1 options, but unlike previous models they implement the NVIDIA RTX A1000, the only option for the 14-inch Dell Precision 5470, up to the NVIDIA RTX A3000, available only in the flagship model of the series that jumps to 17 inches diagonal. All combined with a twelfth generation Intel Core CPU with all 45 W available. They therefore guarantee an edge over the Precision 3000 series, which stops at the NVIDIA RTX A500 and features low-power processors.

The configuration limits for the Dell Precision, however, allow the mobile workstation to be the smallest in the world, at least as stated by Dell, with a 14-inch 16:10 format, InfinityEdge QHD + diagonal screen, weighing 1.48 kg. This without giving up the possibility of reaching the top of the Intel Core i9 range, DDR5, storage up to 4 TB even with the model that boasts of being the smallest in its category, the aforementioned 14-inch Dell Precision 5470, which is the protagonist of our technical data sheet.
