The Dell XPS 12 is a slim rotating-screen hybrid with a high-res display and improved battery life
Poor port selection, Big and heavy for a tablet, Slightly wonky gyroscope and ambient light sensor

The Dell XPS 12 is a thin, powerful, very cleverly designed touch-screen convertible that flips into multiple screen positions

Can't use touchscreen while wearing the required oven mitts. Dreadful touchpad. Heavy, hot, loud, and powerhungry as a tablet — a deadly combination. No memory card slot
