The newest laptops in MSI’s highest-end productivity and business lineup should now be easier to locate should you misplace them. The refreshed Summit laptops include a new model, the Summit E14 Flip Evo, and they take a page from HP and Lenovo laptops by integrating Tile’s Bluetooth trackers.
Once users activate the feature in the preloaded Windows Tile app (which requires the Internet), they can use Tile’s smartphone app to track down their missing PC. MSI’s new Summit laptops will be able to use Tile’s Ring My PC feature, which makes the PC emit a noise if it’s within 250 feet, even if the PC is off. Tile also supports a proximity meter and can show you the lost PC’s most recent tracked location. The Tile Network can also alert you if someone with a smartphone using the Tile app goes near the laptop.
MSI’s inclusion of Tile puts the Summit series in line with the likes of business and power user-ready productivity laptops from HP, such as the EliteBook 1000, the EliteBook 800 G8, and the Zbook Firefly G8 series. HP was the first brand to sell laptops with built-in Tile trackers, and Lenovo followed suit with its ThinkPad lineup (X1 and T series). With people doing more work on the go, now is a good time to cash in by making powerful laptops, which keep getting smaller, a little easier to find.
