Dell XPS 12 (Haswell) Review

Lisa Gade reviews the updated Dell XPS 12 Windows 8 convertible Ultrabook-tablet. The XPS 12 (9Q33) has 4th generation Intel Haswell Core CPUs, a full HD IPS touch screen with Gorilla Glass and SSD drives. The XPS 12 has an easel style hinge so you can flip the screen from laptop to presentation to tablet mode easily and the keyboard will be safely tucked inside, unlike Lenovo Yoga laptops. We look at the Core i5-4200U 1.6GHz dual core model with 4 gigs of DDR3L RAM and a 128 gig SSD drive. It has dual band Intel WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0. It's also available with 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD. Our model is $1,099 in stores and $100 on Dell's website. It features a carbon fiber casing with aluminum framing and a magnesium keyboard deck with a soft touch finish.
