Dell Technologies is transforming workplaces across the UAE with its latest portfolio of AI PCs and workstations. These new devices are designed to elevate productivity, performance, and collaboration for both everyday workers and power users, ensuring businesses are equipped for a future driven by AI.
The AI-powered PCs offer significant improvements in battery life, security, and flexibility. These solutions, part of Dell’s broader AI strategy, support businesses across all environments—from the desktop to the data centre to the cloud—enabling a smoother transition to AI-enhanced operations.
“From running complex AI workloads on workstations to using day-to-day AI-powered applications on laptops, the AI PC will be an important investment that pays dividends in productivity and paves the way to a smarter, more efficient future,” said Haidi Nossair, Sr. Director – Client Solutions Group – META, Dell Technologies.
“Dell’s advantage starts with offering more AI PCs across the commercial portfolio from day one, catering to customers’ unique needs and giving them the ability to start future proofing for AI today,” said Nossair.
AI PCs Optimised for Hybrid Work
With global AI PC shipments expected to reach 167 million units by 2027, Dell’s new range of neural processing unit (NPU)-equipped devices is built to stay ahead of the curve. The NPU functions as an AI acceleration engine, handling more dedicated tasks and freeing up the CPU and GPU to improve overall performance, battery life, and security.
Dell’s AI PCs, including the Latitude laptops and Precision mobile workstations, offer the most extensive portfolio for businesses, from entry-level to ultra-premium. Powered by Intel Core Ultra processors with Intel vPro®, Dell’s commercial PCs are engineered to drive AI workloads and maximise efficiency.
Key benefits include:
- Improved collaboration: Features like auto-framing, background blur, and eye-tracking allow workers to save up to 38% more battery life while enhancing video call quality.
- Faster content creation: By distributing AI tasks across the CPU, GPU, and NPU, users can create AI-generated images over five times faster using Stable Diffusion.
- Enhanced security: Dell is working with CrowdStrike and Intel to offload security functions to the NPU, ensuring faster, more comprehensive threat detection with reduced latency.
- Seamless work experience: With Windows 11 and a Copilot key, users have faster access to AI-powered tools that boost productivity.
AI-Powered Services for the Future
To complement its AI PCs, Dell offers new services that aim to maximise productivity and reduce downtime. Dell’s ProSupport Suite for PCs provides self-healing capabilities, leveraging telemetry and AI to resolve issues like blue screen errors or thermal problems automatically.
Dell’s managed services also help businesses stay on track with PC refresh cycles and AI device rollouts. Meanwhile, the Digital Employee Experience Services are tailored to help companies adopt and maximise GenAI investments, ensuring employees have the right tools for their roles.
