Dell is unveiling a laptop today that senses your presence and wakes itself up automatically. The Dell Latitude 7400 is a 2-in-1 laptop-tablet combo that includes Express Sign-In.
The laptop is an example of how hardware companies can combine sensors and processing power to create the impression of intelligence. Coupled with the infrared camera and Windows Hello, it instantly logs you into your system without you having to lift a finger. It also detects when you walk away and locks itself, so no one can hop on your machine.
The ExpressSign-in can detect your presence and wake the system in about one second, then scan for facial recognition to log you in with Windows Hello. You just sit down at your desk and start working, without even reaching for the power button. The laptop is the world’s first PC to use a proximity sensor enabled by Intel Context Sensing Technology. When you step away for a break, Latitude will recognize you’ve left and lock itself to preserve battery life and maintain security.
The Dell Latitude 7400 comes with a 14-inch FHD display with a four-sided narrow border. It weighs three pounds, or 25 percent less than the previous model. The case is crafted from machined aluminum, and it has diamond-cut edges.
