Less is More

Laptops now come with a streamlined set of pre-installed apps, designed to make your experience smoother and more efficient from the moment you start using your computer.

We've trimmed down the default app list, so you can dive into your work without the clutter of unnecessary apps. This simpler setup means you can focus on what matters most to you, right out of the box.

Choose Apps You Actually Need

Included in this update is the new Company Portal app, pre-installed on all devices. Managed by the Technology Department, this app provides easy access to a range of applications previously included by default and supports custom installer packages for specialized devices, like scanners, to meet your specific needs.
