How can upgrading PC hardware improve school performance?
Faster PCs with AI capabilities, like Dell’s Latitude 5000 range featuring Intel Core Ultra processors, make a real difference in schools. These systems speed up applications, cut down on admin tasks, and allow teachers to spend more quality time with students.
An organisation we worked with recently equipped its developers with Dell Latitude laptops powered by our AI processors, reducing cloud costs and boosting their productivity by 50%. For schools, this means smoother learning, less frustration, and better efficiency.
What should schools consider when choosing new devices?
When choosing new devices for your school, it’s best to think of the bigger picture. AI-powered devices with Neural Processing Units (NPUs) are great for delivering the speed, security, and adaptability that today’s schools need.
These devices handle heavy multitasking, from digital lesson planning to real-time data processing, making it easy to personalise learning. Plus, they’re low-maintenance, saving valuable IT time.
Choosing Intel-powered devices means schools are investing in future-proof tech that’s ready to meet students’ evolving needs and teachers’ daily demands.
What are common technology challenges schools face, and how can Intel help?
Many schools deal with outdated, slow tech and growing security risks, but Dell’s Intel powered AI PCs with NPUs and open AI solutions, like oneAPI, tackle these challenges head-on. Faster processing eliminates lags, and advanced security protects against cyber threats in real time.
Intel works with more than 100 software vendors to build AI experiences out of the box, leveraging AI PCs. With oneAPI, schools avoid being locked into proprietary systems, meaning more scalability and cost-efficiency, while optimising AI workloads across devices.
It’s all about smarter tools that make teaching and learning seamless and efficient.
“When tech integrates smoothly into school routines, everyone benefits.”
What role does technology play in improving school operations?
Tech is now essential for efficient school management. Intel-powered devices, with their AI capabilities, streamline everyday tasks, like automating admin work and enhancing classroom collaboration.
Teachers gain time to focus on students, while school leaders have data insights at their fingertips, making decision-making faster and more strategic. Dell is able to consult and advise your school on areas where improvements can be made, as well as what tech would be the most suitable for your needs.
When tech integrates smoothly into school routines, everyone benefits, and the focus stays where it should be: on delivering a quality educational experience.
How can AI-driven PCs support personalised learning for students?
AI PCs with NPUs open up amazing possibilities for personalised learning. With adaptive tech, teachers can create tailored lessons that suit different students’ needs, adjusting in real time to help each learner excel.
These devices can support applications that adjust to each student’s pace, making learning more engaging and accessible. For teachers, it means smarter tools to monitor progress and ensure no student is left behind – all while saving precious prep time.
