Tile, the world's leading smart location company, is collaborating with Intel Corporation to bring Tile's finding power to PC original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This is the first finding technology solution to-market for a broad group of PC OEMs and means upcoming Intel-powered laptop and notebook models can be findable.

"Most of the world is working from home right now, making laptops and portable devices more critical than ever. We rely on them to maintain continuity and keep information safe. But we're also relying on them to stay connected with loved ones," said CJ Prober, CEO of Tile. "Our work with Intel means we'll be ready to help PC users avoid disruption and keep track of their devices once we're all on the move again." The updated Intel solutions are expected to be available later this year for OEM adoption and will allow PC users to find their laptop or notebook even when the device is in sleep mode. The Tile and Intel teams are already working closely with PC manufacturers to determine the best Tile experience for their customers.




"This collaboration with Tile is an exciting addition to our world-class wireless connectivity solutions. We are always looking for ways to further enhance PC platform experiences and in this case, we enable new capabilities including enhanced security by simplifying device tracking and recovery for both consumer and commercial PCs," said Eric McLaughlin, Vice President, Compute Client Group, General Manager Wireless Solutions Group, Intel.

Tile recently announced its first commercial laptop product with HP; the Intel collaboration further solidifies the company's expansion in the PC vertical. In a recent global survey conducted by Tile, nearly half of all respondents said the most common place they lose items is in their own home. Seventy-two percent said the ability to locate their lost or misplaced laptop would be "very" or "extremely valuable".

This effort builds upon Tile's collaborations with leading BLE chip manufacturers announced in 2019. By working with Intel, and other major technology leading companies, Tile has the potential to integrate its valuable finding technology into nearly 30 billion consumer electronic devices at the chip level over the next five years.

Yay, more built in tracking.
Why don't they just implant a chip in all of us now and skip the pretense.

They'll get around to that too soon.

Such is ripe for abuse except it's meant to be used that way. I mean why else would you make a lappy trackable?

I don't know about everyone but so far I've never known someone to literally "Lose the lappy" at home. If using it for work and traveling chances are you'll keep up with it anyway, it's too important of a piece to not keep track of yourself.

It's marketing BS to implement the tracking in the way they worded things about it.

I reckon companies are eager for this, its not a bad thing to know if your inventory/employee is moving, it also raises some considerable privacy concerns. Spying in the workplace is already a thing. This just piles onto it. "Working from home, are you?" "Then why is your laptop at the beach?"

I'm pretty sure that's the whole goal.

In many contracts it's stated the employer can and will monitor all work activity and comm channels.
Nobody is forcing the employees to sign it, though.
