  • Abstract:  With its innovative portable design, New Dell XPS 12 Convertible Touch Ultrabook is the final destination where laptop meets tablet. It works as a laptop as well as tablet with its same flip-and-fold design. It is comfortable in holding due to its rounded...

  • Strong hinge; Flipping screen is an excellent concept; Rubberised carbon fibre chassis is harder to lose grip on;
  • Heavier than you'll expect; Tablet operation can be a little buggy; Mediocre battery life; No SD card slot;
  • We'll come out and say it: when we first saw Dell's flipping screen concept a few months back, we were in love. It just made sense. If you didn't know quite what you needed, a hybrid that flipped into a different form-factor in a matter of seconds made se...

  • 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, 1080p display is nearly indistinguishable from its 13.3-inch counterpart in the XPS 1...

  • You have to be a very specific kind of computer user to really love this one. The XPS's main virtue is that it's a great laptop that you can use like a real laptop — along with an awesome, touchable display...

  • Provides a great tablet experience, The screen, Build quality
  • Windows 8 wireless service problems, No SD card slot, Feels heavy for its size, VGA and Ethernet dongles not supplied
  • The Dell XPS 12 convertible laptop is a great hardware solution for those of you who want both laptop and tablet functions in the same unit. It doesn't compromise when it comes to processing power, and the way it can be converted from laptop to tablet is...

  • Well built, Fast Wi-Fi, Good quality Full HD touchscreen, Battery life
  • Poor touchpad, Limited ports and slots, Can feel heavy at times, Had trouble waking from deep sleep
  • There are many good points about the Dell XPS 12, including the screen, build quality, performance, battery life, and the keyboard, but our overall take on this convertible Ultrabook is that it needs work. The touchpad is no good, we had issues waking the...

  • Unit is built on the hefty side which makes it difficult to hold in one hand when in tablet mode, There is an occasional delay when adjusting to screen orientation, Only two USB ports which limits connectivity unless you add the optional docking station,
  • Dell has done a pretty decent job of accommodating the needs of ultrabook users and tablet fans. A device such as the XPS 12 eliminates the need to carry around two devices which can make it ideal as a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) solution which is being ...

  • Abstract:  Dell have often been the first or close to the first, to jump onto a platform and go at it hammer-and-tongs. Its laptop/tablet hybrids have paved the way for many other manufactures to follow and have usually been a decent build and specification. The XPS...
