Top business tips for the Dell Pro 5 and Dell Pro 7

So, you’ve picked the Dell Pro 5 and Dell Pro 7 for your workforce. These devices are the latest and greatest in the Dell Pro lineup, providing all the power needed for today’s business software as well as sleek, professional designs that suit any table – be it boardroom or train.

For all these reasons and more, leaders who land on the Dell Pro 5 or the Dell Pro 7 for their workforce device upgrade can rest easy knowing they’ve chosen some of the best business devices on the market.

To really get the most out of the investment, though, it’s worth knowing the top business tips for the Dell Pro 5 and Dell Pro 7.

TL;DR:

• One of the primary benefits of upgrading to the Dell Pro 5 or Dell Pro 7 is to make the most of Microsoft Copilot on Windows 11, as well as other AI apps and features that require an NPU to work properly.
• Wherever you're headed, be it the office commute or a trans-oceanic flight, the Dell Pro 5 and Dell Pro 7 can meet your needs and provide the battery needed to make the journey with you.
• Dell Pro laptops are equipped with top of the line displays, sophisticated cameras, and clear microphones, to remove friction between a user and all the people with whom they interact.

Make the most of AI apps

Both the Dell Pro 5 and Dell Pro 7 laptops provide ample opportunity for staff to leverage AI applications and features, including those that come as a part of Windows 11. This is because of the embedded neural processing unit (NPU) found in both laptops, which efficiently and powerfully runs AI workloads on the device.

Many Windows Copilot features within Windows 11 use the NPU, for example, including Windows Recall which allows staff to quickly and easily search through their device history to search for device content or past searches using natural language processing.

Workers can also rely on the NPU to power other native Windows 11 features such as live captions and translation for video calls and recorded video content – key for meeting accessibility needs – or live Windows Studio Effects such as background blur, voice isolation, and teleprompter simulation.

Those in creative roles can also use the Dell Pro 5 and Dell Pro 7 to benefit from new AI features in apps such as Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.

On a day-to-day basis, the NPU can also protect workers from the most advanced security threats. McAfee Deepfake Detector runs on the NPU to analyze video content to flag fraudulent video and prevent social engineering attacks from taking place.

Take your device with you

Dell Pro laptops are the company’s thinnest and most portable ever, with bold new designs and materials used to make them as portable as possible. For example, the new aluminum chassis of the Dell Pro 7 or magnesium alloy used for the chassis of the Dell Pro Premium 14 help reduce the weight of each device without detracting from their durability.

The Dell Pro 5 is also 10% thinner than the device preceding it, even though it also comes with marked performance improvements and a 17-hour battery life.

All these improvements are possible thanks to software optimization, as well as hardware-level breakthroughs. For example, Dell Pro laptops use the NPU for all compatible AI tasks, including background operations in Windows 11 that would otherwise be handed over to the more power-hungry GPU and CPU. The NPU is also useful for offloading machine learning (ML) tasks in creative apps, such as denoising algorithms in Lightroom or dialogue isolation in DaVinci Resolve.

Additionally, Dell Pro laptops come with tandem OLED displays and keyboards backlit with mini-LED technology, both of which reduce overall power consumption.

Be seen and heard

One of the most overlooked aspects of business laptops is their display and camera, which act as the primary way for employees to communicate with co-workers, complete detail-specific tasks, and represent the company to customers and external stakeholders.

In the past, laptops were expected to make compromises on both of these: early models from all manufacturers were equipped with poorer-quality displays and some came without webcams at all. In contrast, Dell Pro laptops come with highest-quality panels, including tandem OLED displays. Some, such as the Dell Pro 5, are also configurable with QHD displays, for extreme visual clarity, and can output up to 500 nits of brightness to keep anything on the screen as visible as possible in bright light.

While users always need to see their display as clearly as possible, there are lots of circumstances where those around them shouldn’t. The person sitting next to you on a flight might be friendly enough, but when you open your laptop they shouldn’t be able to see your company’s financial data – nor your passwords.

This is where the privacy screen, configurable for the Dell Pro 7, comes in. It prevents all but those directly in front of the panel from seeing what’s on it, much like the screen at an ATM, for peace of mind even in public spaces.

Dell Pro laptops also come with an integrated, 8 megapixel HDR camera and a tuned microphone, which help workers to be seen and heard just as well as they can see their colleagues, partners, and customers.

In addition to helping users be seen more clearly in low light, the infrared functionality of the webcam powers Windows Hello. This is a secure, biometric login option for Windows devices, allowing users to log in to their device and other secure apps using facial recognition, and is an extra layer of defense against phishing and password theft.
