Intel® Smart Connect Technology

The online world never sleeps. Your connection to it shouldn’t either.


With Intel® Smart Connect Technology,1 stay current with automatic, no-wait updates to your e-mail, social networks, news, and more.


While your system is in standby, it will periodically wake up to update the applications that are open.


When you return to your system and open the lid the latest content will be at your fingertips.


It also enables your computer to send updates to the cloud if you create items while you’re away from a network connection—for example, if you write emails while on a plane.


This way, everyone has your latest thoughts and you always have the freshest data ready to go whenever you are.


Intel Smart Connect Technology is available on Ultrabook™, all-in-one, and standard PCs powered by the 4th generation Intel® Core™ processor family.
