  • Price premium over similarly equipped ultrabooks
  • Integrated graphics
  • Battery life is only OK
  • More fan noise than we'd like

  • And there's no SD card reader
  • A chunky tablet at best
  • A little thicker and heavier than some dedicated laptops
  • Like the XPS 13
  • No SD card slot
  • Fan spins up quickly and often

  • Dell has really hit on something with this spinning screen convertible notebook malarkey. Rotate the XPS 12's display one one way and you have an no-compromise Ultrabook - though as an Ultrabook, it is a compromised notebook: no optical drive or Ethernet...

  • Highcontrast screen (800:1 to 850:1), Good processing power, Fast boot and shutdown times, Pleasant to handle and use, Screen definition (1920 x 1080 pixels)
  • Can be a bit noisy (45 to 50 dB(A)) when the fan gets going, Not great for games, Audio quality could be better
  • The Dell XPS 12 is a good compromise between a tablet and an ultrabook, although it excels at being neither. Connections are a bit thin on the ground compared with a standard laptop and battery life is a bit tight for a tablet. On the other hand, it's muc...

  • Abstract:  Microsoft’s Windows 8 is a bit schizophrenic. Microsoft likes to focus on the shiny new tiled interface that is specifically designed for tablets and other mobile devices. But scratch beneath that surface and you’ll soon discover ye olde Windows desktop, ...

  • Screen can flip around to become a tablet, Bright and bold display, Excellent build, Quality Windows 8 software, Powerful enough for every day tasks
  • Pretty pricey, A couple of minor software issues when using it in tablet mode, Windows 8 app store doesn't have a lot to offer yet
  • The Dell Duo 12 is a 12-inch laptop with a screen that flips over to become a tablet. With a great display, excellent build quality and decent performance, it's an ideal compromise between laptop and tablet, although it's expensive -- you could buy bot...

  • Resurrects the flipandfold display, Fast Core i73517U processor, Large 256GB solidstate drive, Impressive battery life
  • A better laptop than a tablet, Limited port selection
  • Where the Sony Vaio Duo 11 left us nervous about the future of the hybrid ultrabook, the Dell XPS 12 puts us back on solid ground. While the design is a better laptop than a tablet, the XPS 12 is a solid performer, thanks to ultrabook-grade specs, an im...
