Dell Latitude 7285 the first laptop with wireless charging ever released by a laptop manufacturer, the American company is officially putting it on sale today. Dell Latitude 7285 was initially presented at CES 2017 by the Dell company, it being thought to run Windows 10 and although it does not have an exceptional design, we are talking about a laptop that can still be charged wirelessly.
Dell Latitude 7285 has a selling price of 1200 dollars, but for what it offers it is quite reasonable to ask for this amount of money. Dell Latitude 7285 works with an Intel Core i5-7Y54 processor, with 8 GB of RAM and an SSD with 218 GB of storage space, the screen having a diagonal of 12.3 inches, so you will not have much space to see the images.
The Dell Latitude 7285 still displays a resolution of 12.3 x 2880 pixels on the 1920-inch screen, so you will be able to see its content at a quality worthy of 2017. The Dell Latitude 7285 also has the Windows Hello system implemented, which allows unlocking using facial recognition, so it has integrated biometric security, as is the case with the MacBook Pro.
The Dell Latitude 7285 is the first laptop with wireless charging
Dell Latitude 7285 has, unlike Apple laptops, two THunderbolt 3 ports, several USB-C ports, a microSD slot, a 3.5mm audio port and even a SIM card slot. Regarding wireless charging in the Dell Latitude 7285, we are talking about an induction charging system, so the laptop must be placed on a charging pad, like any other smartphone.
The Dell Latitude 7285 has implemented this wireless charging system in collaboration with a company called WiTricity, using magnetic resonance charging. No less than 30W are transferred through this technology from the charging pad directly to the Dell Latitude 7285, being enough to keep it running and charge the battery when we need additional energy.
The Dell Latitude 7285 has a starting price of $1200, but the charging pad costs another $200, and a separate keyboard with wireless charging costs another $380. Basically, the entire kit for the Dell Latitude 7285 costs 1780 dollars to be able to charge it wirelessly, but it was expected that technologies of this kind would be expensive when they first appeared on the market.
The Dell Latitude 7285 may still start a new trend in the industry, which will allow users to stop plugging cables into an outlet, but into a wireless charging pad, so the uselessness is carried from smartphones to laptops , without any progress.
