Secured for workfrom-home
WORK-from-home. For over a year, this has been the norm for most. People must now face the reality that “new normal,” which was the buzzword only a year ago, may eventually become the “standard normal,” and working from home, away from the office, could take even longer if not permanent.
A better way to keep your business running inside the safety of your home is to equip yourself with the right tools — a stable internet connection and communications devices like smartphones and a computer. To keep the economic machinery going in the middle of the continuing community quarantine in many places across the country, the paraphernalia mentioned are essential. We could probably add coffee to the itinerary.
When it comes to digital transformation, the Philippines, despite recognizable flaws, is not far behind other countries. The change has already been laid out years before our current predicament making it somewhat easier to adapt rather than figuring only now what to do in a digital-based environment, an unavoidable circumstance brought upon by the pandemic. It is good to know that the internet is accessible in most parts of the country. Smartphone penetration is a competition for any new brand entering the local market. Having a personal computer adds personal leisure, creativity and productivity.
There are two kinds of personal computers to choose from — desktop and notebook. For the work-from-home employee, a notebook is the obvious choice. Portability and space-saving features are among the main factors. However, some users, particularly business executives, look beyond how light the laptop is and how big it is in the workspace. Questions like “Will our office software run on it? Will our information technology (IT) department manage one? Does it have solid performance needed for productivity? Does it have reliable after-sales support? Does it have enterprisegrade security? And the proverbial would it be able to play triple-A games?” often come up.
Business notebooks
The obvious question is if there is a portable business computer to answer all these? Yes. One could find it from MSI, a world leader in gaming hardware and innovative business solutions, with its MSI Summit series of business notebooks. The lineup boasts world-class productivity, security, reliability, and style designed with the business professionals in mind.
Packed with features including the latest 11th Gen. Intel Core i7 processor and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics to deliver performance and lightweight portability — what business elites are looking for in a notebook. With the 4-core processor, productivity is enhanced for faster workflow on demanding tasks and activities. Built for mobility, this 1.3-kg notebook in sleek aluminum chassis is 15-mm thin. It comes with long-lasting battery and fastcharge technology.
It also has configurable dedicated graphics processing unit courtesy of Nvidia GeForce GTX to accelerate graphical tasks with extended power and optimal performance whether it is for business, leisure or gaming.
Enterprises with IT personnel would quickly approve the MSI Summit’s use. The series does not compromise on security, especially when notebooks are deployed outside office premises or brought home. Its comprehensive biometric login and identify/encryption secure solutions help prevent easy access to corporate data from hacking or attacking. MSI’s own Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology provides extensive hardware-based, security-related functions where one could store data and passwords by encryption keys for much-needed advanced security. One could sign in with face or fingerprint for easy and secure access through Windows Hello, providing a password-free experience on supported web service with the latest FIDO 2 authentication.
Simple security add-ons include dedicated LED light to quickly notify users at a glance if the webcam is on or off and a device lock that centrally manages access to frequently used USB ports and SD card slot for that extra layer to safeguard data already inside the notebook.
MSI’s Prestige series brings an even more affordable business notebook with a choice of fashionable colors without compromising features and durability.
Prestige now packs the latest 11th Gen. Intel Core i7 processor, powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphic card with Max-Q design, PCIe Gen 4 SSD and Thunderbolt 4/USB 4.0, built-in Wi-Fi 6, AI Noise Cancellation, high-speed microSD card slot, premium sound quality with hi-resolution audio, ergonomic design that includes 5-degree elevated keyboard and 180-degree flat design, FIDO 2 password-less authentication, fast-charging with up to 16 hours battery life, and military-grade durability.
With these features, the MSI Summit and Prestige series stand out as true business notebooks.
