  • Like the XPS 13

  • 1080p IPS screen, Premium materials throughout, Innovative flip-screen system, Good, backlit keyboard, Flexible, powerful specs, Great speakers
  • No SD card slot, No pressure-sensitive stylus, Relatively heavy
  • The Dell XPS 12 won't match detachable laptop/tablets for their convenience or battery life due to its weight and thickness, but if you're after a premium Ultrabook with tablet functionality built-in and don't mind its lack of digitizer stylus, the XPS 12...

  • Very robust flipping mechanism, Full HD 1080p IPS Touchscreen
  • One of the heaviest products in this category. No HDMI, LAN or External Card Slot, Expensive
  • A well-designed ultrabook convertible with flip hinge design to make it easy to use it both modes. The screen protects the keyboard by covering it unlike the Yoga. Missing HDMI port and card slot are a disadvantage, but great performance and 5 hours batt...

  • No memory card reader, No HDMI (only Display Port), Expensive
  • The Dell XPS 12 is a solid performer with normal applications, and it can perform quite well even when faced with daunting multi-tasking. The unique flip screen form factor is complicated and probably that is the reason why nobody has attempted to imitat...

  • Abstract:  Dell XPS Duo is a sturdy ultrabook convertible with a swivel based mechanism which converts the ultra book into a tablet. The 12-inch multi-touch display revolves within a thinly built metallic frame. This is something new so doubts about its practicality...

  • The swivel screen mechanism doesn't have a lock, Works better in ultrabook mode
  • Dell has carried out the same excellence from the XPS 14 as far as design and build is concerned, with the Dell XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook. The display flip is a very unique feature to have. Performance is fairly acceptable, but the cherry on the cake i...
