"The XPS 12’s new fourth-gen Core processor gives the boost it needs to shatter battery life records without compromising performance."
"This new flip-screen hybrid laptop from Dell is highly versatile. It is ideal both for effective working and leisure-time entertainment. The innovative rotating hinge sets it apart from other laptops, while the materials used for the display, the casing and the cover are at once sturdy and durable yet also refined and elegant. Quite simply an innovative product."
"Dell used the same design language and styling as we’ve seen in the rest of the XPS line, which means machined aluminum, carbon fiber, a soft touch interior and Corning Gorilla Glass. All of this comes together to form a notebook that feels quite solid, despite the swiveling screen."
Dell's XPS 12 is better as a notebook than as a tablet, but it remains one of the best convertibles on the market.
Truly, there is not much to criticize about Dell’s latest XPS 12. It is a top-tier piece of technology that excels in nearly every department, from its exquisite construction to its clever, versatile design.
