"We're making Tile's technology more accessible and simple through a 
pre-installed software solution requiring no hardware, making it far more 
accessible and easy to use," said CJ Prober, CEO of Tile. "Our collaboration 
with Intel to enable this software-only version of Tile, and with HP to be the 
first OEM to integrate this capability into their products, is a significant 
milestone in delivering peace of mind to IT departments and end-users alike." 

Once activated through the Tile Windows app, EliteBook 800 Series and ZBook 
Firefly users can take advantage of Tile features on the Tile mobile app to 
find their laptop if nearby or far away. These features even work when the 
device is in sleep, hibernate or soft off mode.

Whether working from home or preparing to head back into the office, the 
ability to find your laptop is crucial, especially during these uncertain 
times. Earlier this year, Tile found that nearly three fourths (72 percent) 
said the ability to locate their lost or misplaced laptop would be very or 
extremely valuable. 

This marks Tile's first device integration with Intel after announcing a 
collaboration effort earlier this year. The Tile and Intel teams are continuing 
to work closely with PC manufacturers to determine the best Tile experience for 
their users. In fact, in 2021 Tile will come pre-installed on select HP-11th 
Gen Intel Core Platforms configured with Intel wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) WLAN cards and 
integrated Intel Bluetooth. 

"By integrating Tile capabilities into our Wi-Fi / Bluetooth solutions for 
Intel PC platforms, we've made it extremely easy for our PC partners to 
activate Tile and offer this feature to users," said Eric McLaughlin, Vice 
President Client Computing Group and GM Wireless Solutions Group at Intel.

Additional Tile partners include Skullcandy, Comcast, Bose and Herschel among 
others. Today, virtually any product can be Tile-enabled. Learn more at
