In addition to new monitors equipped with a dedicated Microsoft Teams button, Dell has also unveiled several new laptops also coming with an innovation.
It’s a dedicated camera shutter that can automatically activate and thus close the camera when you’re not using it, thus acting as an upgraded privacy control everybody needs today.
In other words, you can finally give up on that small piece of tape that you use to cover the camera, as Dell’s new Latitude 9420 and 9520 can take care of the whole thing on their own, without the need for any input from the user.
“The Latitude 9420 and 9520 deliver advanced security features like SafeShutter, the industry’s first automatic webcam shutter that knows when to automatically open or close by syncing with your video conferencing applications, so you can work securely and confidently from anywhere. Take control of your privacy with secure mic and mute keys to work confidently from anywhere,” Dell explains.
To go on sale in the spring
The 9420 also comes with improvements supposed to enhance video calls automatically, again without any input from the user.
“Designed as the most collaborative business PCs with the best connectivity experiences, the Latitude 9420 comes with a powerful built-in speakerphone and camera enhancements that provide automatic light correction and background blur so you can feel confident in any video call. Get to work faster with the world’s first PC with Intel Visual Sensing Technology to offer a more reliable auto wake and lock. Multitask on fast connections with WiFi 6E or 5G LTE,” the company explains.
The new Dell Latitude 9420 is projected to go on sale in the spring of this year, and prices will start at $1,949. In addition to this model, the Latitude 9520 is also projected to go live in the spring of 2021, only that pricing and further info would be shared closer to launch.
