The key to the Latitude 7285’s kit is its Wireless Charging Keyboard, which Dell claims is the first of its kind. When connected to the Latitude 7285’s tablet body, it draws power from a charging pad using WiTricity’s wireless standard. Anytime you need some juice, you can just set the computer down on the pad and keep on working while your battery refills. Then, you can add on one of Dell’s $270 wireless docks for a true wire-free work environment.

For those less concerned with wires, the Latitude 7285’s detachable tablet body can be paired up with more traditional charging keyboard, which will be available in slim travel or more sturdy productivity configurations. Also, since the Latitude 7285 is part of Dell’s line of business PCs, you also get options for Intel vPro processors, TPM 2.0 and fingerprint readers depending on which keyboard you choose.
