Dell Latitude 7285 Charges Without Wires Michael Kwan January 5, 2017 News, Press Release Wireless connectivity on your laptop is old hat. Wireless charging on your smartphone is becoming increasingly common too. But what about wireless charging on your 2-in-1 laptop? That’s different and that’s what the Dell Latitude 7285 is promising. Just place the convertible notebook PC on its extra large charging mat and let that battery get topped up without wires. Leveraging WiTricity wireless charging technology, which is fundamentally similar to the Qi standard you may already be using with your smartphone, the Latitude 7285 is able to top up its battery without you needing to plug in a power cable. Simply place the tablet portion in the compatible keyboard dock, put the keyboard on the charging mat, and voila. This also works in tandem with a wireless dock (using WiGig technology) for a separate keyboard, mouse and monitor. Check out the brief hands-on video from Liliputing below, as well as the full press releases from both Dell and WiTricity with further details about the Latitude 7285 2-in-1 convertible notebook. More information should be revealed at Dell EMC World in May.

The entire Dell PC portfolio features Windows 10 and new 7th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, helping people maximize productivity and creativity while enjoying lifelike viewing experiences. Dell Canvas – Work at the speed of thought What began as the Dell smart desk concept in 2014 evolved into Dell Canvas – a new category of smart workspace technology that expands creative productivity for content developers and designers. The 27-inch QHD smart workspace can be used at an angle or flat on a desk so professionals can create, communicate and express their thoughts and ideas as naturally as they do with pen on paper. For example, through the use of touch, digital pen and totems, the Dell Canvas turns drawings into part of the digital workflow and enhances collaboration. Developed in partnership with Microsoft Corp. and powered by virtually any Windows 10 device, Dell Canvas plugs seamlessly into software solutions from partners including Adobe, Autodesk, AVID, Dassault Systems,SolidWorks and Microsoft to unleash the creative genius in everyone. The best just got better – XPS 13 adds convertible model; XPS 15 more powerful Dell XPS has won more product awards than any other brand in Dell’s history. Building on that success, Dell is adding the XPS 13 2-in-1, the world’s smallest 13-inch 2-in-1¹, to the beloved XPS family. It offers a 360-degree hinge for multiple productivity and viewing options using Continuum, up to 15 hours of battery life² and eye-popping clarity with a gorgeous QHD+ (5.7M pixels) InfinityEdge touch display—another first for a 2-in-1. The fan-less design keeps it silent and the quick-booting solid state drive has it up and running in seconds. And for business customers, the XPS 13 2-in-1 can be configured with 7th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors and Dell BIOS and manageability software—all backed by Dell’s global ProSupport services. Also, Dell has updated the XPS 15, the smallest 15.6-inch laptop on the planet¹, with 7thGen Intel® Core™ processors, NVIDIA Pascal™ architecture – GeForce GTX 1050 graphics and a fingerprint reader for password-free logins via Windows Hello with the swipe of a finger. XPS & Precision AIOs – The best sound quality of any all-in-one PC Some All-in-One (AIO) PCs on the market today treat the audio experience as an afterthought. Co-created with Jack Joseph Puig, Grammy™ award winning producer and director of creative innovation at Waves Audio, the new XPS 27 AIO, and its Precision business sibling, crank sound to a whole new level with built-in audio quality that previously required an external sound bar. With full frequency range high-fidelity audio built in, they deliver the best sound available in an AIO with 10 speakers pumping out sound at 50W per channel. The viewing experience is equally impressive with a beautiful 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) edge-to-edge touch display supporting 100 percent Adobe RGB color gamut. The Precision AIO delivers more performance options with Intel® Xeon® processors, AMD Radeon™ Pro graphics capable of powering VR and outstanding reliability with ISV certifications for top programs like AVID and SolidWorks, as well as leading security and manageability software. Dell’s first VR-ready mobile workstation cements Dell’s leadership as virtual reality PC authority Dell is a world leader in virtual reality (VR) with the most PC options in the market including XPS, Alienware and Precision workstations supporting Oculus and HTC headsets. As more headsets fly off the shelves, there is a huge opportunity—and demand—for VR content creators. Enter the Dell Precision 7720 mobile workstation—Dell’s first VR-ready mobile workstation designed specifically for VR content creation. It’s Dell’s most powerful mobile workstation, thanks to the latest 7th Gen Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® processors and NVIDIA Pascal™ Quadro professional graphics. And since it’s a mobile workstation, creators can now develop VR content from anywhere they find inspiration. 5K is so yesterday… Dell expands displays leadership with UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD8K Monitor The Dell UltraSharp 32 Ultra HD 8K Monitor is the world’s first 32-inch 8K resolution display. It has more than 1 billion colors, 33.2M pixels of resolution, 100 percent Adobe RGB and sRGB color gamut and an unprecedented 280 ppi—which is four times more content than Ultra HD 4K resolution and 16 times more content than Full HD. Monitors offering this extreme level of resolution and Dell PremierColor clarity and gradation are important in commercial fields where in-depth image zooming is critical—such as photo and video editing, medicine and diagnostic research, and oil and gas exploration—all among the early adopters of this technology. Plus its near borderless display gives customers 32 inches of screen real estate in a highly compact package. Additionally, Dell is announcing several new monitors with its new HDR feature³ to enhance the visual experience through a wider range of colors for exceptionally vivid images, higher clarity with visibly vibrant textures and increased contrast to capture a multitude of natural shades and hues. New monitors with the HDR feature include: the Dell 27 Ultrathin Monitor with a contemporary design, the world’s thinnest profile in its class, InfinityEdge display, Quad HD technology and USB Type-C connectivity as well as the Dell 24 and 27 InfinityEdge Monitors, which also feature dual 6W external speakers professionally tuned by award-winning Waves Maxx Audio. The ultimate “no wires” experience coming soon with the world’s first wireless charging 2-in-1 Wireless connectivity has been widespread in notebooks for years, but there’s one wire that has always remained in the equation—the power cord. Dell will deliver a true wireless experience by incorporating WiTricity magnetic resonance wireless charging technology in the 12-inch Latitude 7285 2-in-1 available later this year. When combined with a charging mat and WiGig wireless dock, users can take the Latitude 2-in-1 with them without disengaging any wires or a physical dock. And when they return to their desk and set the 2-in-1 on the charging mat, it begins charging, automatically reconnects to the WiGig dock and content appears on the external display. More information about the Latitude 7285 2-in-1 and wireless charging will follow at Dell EMC World in May.
