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...
Abstract: If your dream has always been to own a laptop that can easily be converted into a top-notch, no-compromise slate device, then Dell's XPS 12 convertible Ultrabook will make it come true. It's one of the most impressive Windows 8-based machines we've seen s...

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...

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...
Smart convertible design, superb keyboard, sharp full HD display, fast and stable performance
Just a little heavier than the competition, no active digitizer/digital pen option
The Dell XPS 12 remains one of our favorite Windows 8 convertibles, even though the overall design hasn't changed. Sometimes it's best to not mess with a great thing. The 12.5" size is comfortable for ultra-portable travel yet it doesn't feel cramped ...
Abstract: We won't go too deep on design and ergonomics because that hasn't changed much from our original XPS 12 review. The easel hinge has gotten a firmer locking mechanism, but the carbon fiber, aluminum and magnesium machine hasn't changed outwardly. Inside, t...
We didn't get a chance to check out the Dell XPS 12 prior to its Haswell upgrade, but the current version of the hybrid ultrabook / tablet has a lot going for it. It'll be able to keep up with many of the tasks most people will throw at it, has a great ba...

Same great construction and 1080p touchscreen as last year, New $999 starting price, Good keyboard and OK touchpad, Sturdier screen flipping mechanism that doesn't get in the way of laptop functionality, Decent battery life, 802.11ac, Relatively light on
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
