This would help in terms offacilitatingmore collaboration,effectiveness and productivity gains coming in with the latest commercial portfolio. 

Could you provide an example of how Dell Optimizer optimizes performance based on user behavior, particularly in the context of hybrid work scenarios?

I will give you a few examples. In one of them, you mentioned the hybrid setup, where the user may work from the office or while on the move. For instance, if the user wants to connect their device, typically they would manually search for a network with stronger signal strength and connect to it. However, with Dell Optimizer, it automatically scans for available routers in the vicinity and connects to the one with the highest signal strength.

This feature significantly saves time. That's one aspect. Another feature is particularly useful for those working from home, where there might be background noise such as pets or traffic. Dell Optimizer reduces this background noise when using collaborative tools, benefiting both the speaker and other team members on the call.

This noise-cancellation capability is one of its key features. Thirdly, I mentioned the security aspect. Dell Optimizer automatically blanks the screen when needed, among other security measures.

How does Intel vPro contribute to the performance of AI features in these devices?

Intel vPro is primarily focused on manageability. We have been integrating Intel vPro into some of our Latitude, Optiplex, and Precision workstation models over the years. It remains a key aspect of manageability along with Dell's management suites.

What about the availability of the product?

These products are currently available for purchase, and we are prepared to ship them out to customers promptly. We are fully prepared for this endeavor. We intend to offer this product across various router markets, without restriction to any specific market. In short, it will be available across all markets.
