ED#215 : The Incredible | Dell Product Showcase Q4 2015

On the 13th of October 2015, Dell Malaysia invited us to The Incredible | Dell Product Showcase for Q4, 2015. It was an important event for them going into the holiday season. As a result, Intel's Sumner Lemon and Microsoft's Bruce Howe were at hand to lend their support to Dell's latest products.

The Incredible | Dell Product Showcase started with a short keynote speech by Jarebb Chua, Country Manager of Consumer Busines, Dell Malaysia and Singapore before things kicked up a notch with this launch gambit. Take a look!

Sumner Lemon, Country Manager of Intel Malaysia and Singapore gave a quick look at "A new era in computing" thanks to the new 6th Generation Intel Core Processor (codenamed Skylake), and why it is such a compelling reason to upgrade.

“The 6th Gen Intel Core Processors deliver some of the most significant advancements in computing that we've ever seen.  From desktops to personal computers and 2 in 1s, the 6th Gen Intel Core™ Processor has enabled manufacturers to create the thinnest, lightest and sleekest designs ever. Users can also look forward to amazing new PC experiences like logging into your computer using your face as your password and voice activated personal assistants. Intel is proud to partner with Dell and Microsoft for a new line-up of incredible products, perfect for consumers looking for a high performance device.” - Sumner Lemon, Country Manager of Intel Malaysia and Singapore.

Bruce Howe, General Manager, Consumer Channel Group, Microsoft Malaysia then showed why Windows 10 is the best Windows ever, and will help Dell drive the sales of their new products.

“Dell and Microsoft enjoy a partnership that spans more than two decades, with both companies heralded for making personal computing available to everyone. That continues with Windows 10, as we’ve worked hard with Dell to ensure people have a great experience with Dell’s Windows 10 devices. We’ve been making great inroads with Windows 10, with the operating system now on over 110 million devices,” said Bruce Howe, General Manager, Consumer Channel Group, Microsoft Malaysia. “Whether you need a system for work or entertainment, at home or on the road, the new innovative devices are built to highlight the best of Windows 10, providing customers with a choice of computing that best fits their style and helps them do more.”
