Dell XPS 12

 

If you're one of the few who remember the original Dell Inspiron Duo from 2010, pat yourself on the back. Like that Duo, the new XPS 12 has a screen that swivels at the middle of the lid's sides, so it can rotate 180 degrees along its horizontal axis...

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

For all the hype about touch and tablets with Windows 8, the XPS 12 still works better as a laptop than as a slate. Its battery life is on the low side.

Dell has revamped its rotating Duo laptop concept into the much-improved XPS 12, but like most convertibles, it makes a better laptop than tablet.

"Hands Down the best laptop I've ever owed."

 

The XPS 12 is amazingly well built laptop/tablet. I was a bit worried about the spinning hinge but now that I can touch it for myself I can see there is nothing to worry about. It's snug enough to touch without causing it to spin yet easy to flip when...

Super fast login/logoff, no flex in the keyboard, super responsive to gestures, absolutely gorgeous 12.5" display

If you're buying XPS 12 primarily to use as a

"The best Solid Ultrabook ever brought!"

 

You know what! Don't listen to people say about

No more carrying 2 devices! Laptop & iPad. I gotten tired of iPad! I needed work & play at the same time! I looked at other Windows 8 devices & I made the right decision! I don't want to detach from keyboard!

Need more Apps! Times will come! However, got old software installed on desktop!
