Latest Specifications

Dell XPS 12 Full Specifications, A tablet offers an intuitive touch interface, whereas a classic Windows notebook has extensive functionality.

So why not fuse the two together? There are many models which are tagged "Convertibles", but so far, they have not been not very important in the business section. The reason in obvious: all of the Microsoft operating systems, including Windows 7, were poorly suited for use with a finger. The new Metro GUI of Windows 8 (test) has changed all this, and paved the way for a notebook-tablet hybrid like the Dell XPS 12.

In this review, we will be testing a precursor model, which should resemble the final product quite closely (with the exception of a few details). Our test model is equipped with a fast Core i7-3667U of the Ivy Bridge generation, 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD. The 12.5 inch Full HD screen makes the XPS 12 the smallest member of the Dell high-end series, but it is by no means an entry model as shown by the price tag which is well above 1000 Euros.

The convertible will not available in this configuration in Europe for a while, but the manufacturer does offer 3 other configurations:

Core i5 3317U, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD - 1,199 Euros
Core i5 3317U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD - 1,399 Euros
Core i7 3517U, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD - 1,499 Euros
