Real smart
Ready to go: Your always-ready experience starts as soon as you open your device. Turn on, boot-up, and log-in quickly. A lid-open sensor gets the laptop started when opened, even if completely off or hibernating.
Say it out loud: Staying connected with up-to-date applications has never been easier thanks to Adaptive Connected Modern Standby with Voice Support. Now your device stays ready, even when asleep, and allows you to call out for its voice assistant to instantly wake it up to perform a task.
ExpressCharge Boost: Go from 0% up to 35% in as little as 20 minutes* to jumpstart your laptop and not worry about hopping from power outlet to outlet.
Adaptive thermals: Using advanced algorithms and accelerometers, your system is smart enough to know when it is on a stable surface, such as a desk, or unstable surface like your hands or lap. This allows your device to intelligently adapt its power and thermal profiles to the situation – keeping your device running smoothly.
* Within Dell Power Manager software, selecting ExpressCharge™ can recharge system battery from 0% up to 80% within 60 minutes. After charging has reached 80% capacity, charging speed will return to normal speed. Recommended for use with the provided Dell power adapter; not recommended with a smaller capacity power adapter. Charging time may vary +/-10% due to system tolerance.
