  • Beautiful touch screen display, Seamless tablet experience, Excellent build quality, Good keyboard and touchpad
  • Lack of ports (no media card reader), Screenheavy design, Some software issues
  • The Dell XPS 12 brings the full Windows 8 experience to the table thanks to its convertible tablet form factor. Dell's screen flipping mechanism is as unique as it is rock solid; it turns into a great tablet in a matter of seconds. The 12.5-inch display i...

  • As one of the first Windows 8 "convertible" products on the market, the Dell XPS 12 acquits itself fairly well for the most part. We loved the tough construction and owners who mostly use it as a notebook will likely enjoy it, while also enjoying the o...

  • The Dell XPS 12 is more expensive than the IdeaPad Yoga 13 by $200, but for that price users get a backlit keyboard and an Ultrabook Convertible that feels better to hold in tablet mode thanks to a smooth back and a smaller size. A couple hundred bucks is...

  • What you think about the XPS 12 will depend upon what you think about needing a single device to do double-duty as a tablet and a traditional PC. If you need that type of device, and can put up with using an extremely heavy tablet, then you'll find the XP...

  • Abstract:  Dell's entry into the Windows 8 convertible-notebook market bridges the gap between a tablet and a notebook through some wonderfully clever engineering. Instead of using the keyboard as a dock for the display, the display flips around inside a frame t...

  • Dell's attempt to create a non-compromising convertible laptop works as well as we could have hoped. The XPS 12 absolutely nails the fundamentals of display, endurance, and interface. We would be eager to recommend this device even if it were only an Ul...

  • You have to be a very specific kind of computer user to really love this one. The XPSs main virtue is that its a great laptop that you can use like a real laptop—along with an awesome, touchable display.AdvertisementSponsoredBut its ergonomics as a tabl...

  • The Dell XPS 12 is a novel Ultrabook that can feasibly be used as both a laptop and a tablet, or though it isn't up for debate that it makes a better laptop then it does tablet. It's specs and price are reasonable, but not really impressive on face of...

  • Abstract:  Not since the first Ultrabooks have we seen a device with as much wow factor as the Dell XPS 12 Convertible Touch Ultrabook. The sleek unit's bright and crisp 12.5-inch, 1,080p display is nearly indistinguishable from its 13.3-inch counterp...
