Windows 10: Dell’s new Windows 10 device can detect your presence and wake itself

Dell has unveiled a new Windows 10-powered 2-in-1 device ahead of the CES 2019 conference. The company today announced an updated version of its 2-in-1, the Latitude 7400 and the flagship-quality device comes with exciting technologies.

Dell says that the new Latitude 7400 uses an innovative feature to sense your presence and wake the device.

The feature is called Dell ExpressSign-in which uses both Intel Context Sensing Technology and Windows Hello to execute the smooth and secure login experience. Dell has built the proximity sensor into the laptop and the combination of both technologies will automatically authenticate the user.

The Latitude 7400’s proximity sensor allows the system to detect users presence and automatically wake it up. After the system boots, it uses the built-in infrared camera system for authentication and allows you to sign you into Windows 10.

Similarly, the 2-in-1 flagship device can actually sense when you’re away from the PC and put it to sleep.

In theory, Dell’s ExpressSign-In appears to be an impressive technology that would automatically turn on or off your PC, rather than waiting for you to initiate the shut process.

Technical specification


Dell’s latest Windows 10 device is powered by 8th-gen Intel Core Whiskey Lake processor and comes with up to 16GB of RAM coupled up with 2TB SSD. The battery included in the device offers 52 watt-hour or 78 watt-hour.

It comes with Windows Hello, Fingerprint reader, Smart Card Reader, NFC, USB 3.1 ports and Thunderbolt ports.

Dell and Windows 10: Better Together
Dell and Microsoft engineers began work on the key features of Windows 10 in 2013 to help Dell design fantastic, new PC solutions for customers. PCs integrating Intel RealSense 3D cameras that Dell helped pioneer on Venue tablets deliver facial recognition to help enable Windows Hello sign in. Dell can help maximize the rich-media experience of Windows 10 with Waves MaxxAudio, and help provide a great Cortana experience with cutting-edge audio integration. Through Dell touch enabled screens and Continuum on Windows 10, PCs can now deliver incredible on-screen experiences and the comfortable touch interaction that users have come to enjoy on devices like smart phones.

With Windows 10, commercial customers can get the preeminent solutions and services that set Dell apart from the competition. Dell continues to offer the industry's most secure commercial devices through its comprehensive encryption, advanced authentication and leading-edge malware prevention with the Dell Data Protection portfolio - and the industry's most manageable commercial devices.3 The management capabilities built into Dell's commercial portfolio, like the Dell Client Command Suite, offer free automation tools that significantly reduce time spent deploying, monitoring and updating systems.

Dell Brings Windows 10 to Customers First
As announced in mid-June, Dell was among the first to offer Windows 10 preloaded systems for pre-sales. In North America those orders will start shipping today with free next-day delivery. In addition to the U.S. and Canada, customers have been able to pre-order systems in China as of July 20, and the United Kingdom beginning on July 22. Customers in Brazil can start ordering systems on July 29.

Retail customers in the U.S. have had the opportunity to purchase Windows 10 devices on QVC since July 14, and will be able to purchase systems from other leading retailers, including Best Buy, Microcenter and Staples, starting tomorrow. Customers in Brazil and China will be able to purchase Dell devices with Windows 10 in August, and in the UK products will be available at retail in October.

Beyond innovative and award-winning products, Dell offers OS help for Windows 10 with chat and 24x7 online and phone priority access to expert technicians when you add Dell Premium Support or ProSupport Plus for PCs and Tablets. To help all customers make a smooth transition to Windows 10, Dell support is publishing a series of Web videos that cover topics including how to upgrade to Windows 10, key features, basic functions of the new OS, and how to use the OS on virtual desktops. Additional videos will be influenced by customer conversations and inquiries received across support. Hosted on the Dell YouTube channel, the videos are available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese.

#DellLounge Powered by Windows 10
To celebrate the launch of Windows 10, Dell and Microsoft are hosting a #DellLounge Powered by Windows 10 pop-up activation in Chicago from July 30 through August 2. The four-day event will overlook Grant Park and bring new Windows 10 features to life on the latest Windows 10-ready devices from Dell and Alienware through interactive experiences, learning labs and entertainment from Morgan Page, A-Trak, Residual Kid, Jack and Jack, Mahogany Lox and others.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
