Well built, Fast Wi-Fi, Good quality Full HD touchscreen, Battery life
Poor touchpad, Limited ports and slots, Can feel heavy at times, Had trouble waking from deep sleep
There are many good points about the Dell XPS 12, including the screen, build quality, performance, battery life, and the keyboard, but our overall take on this convertible Ultrabook is that it needs work. The touchpad is no good, we had issues waking the...

Excellent build quality, Good Design, Sturdy and durable, Performance, Responsive Touchscreen
No SD card slot, No Ethernet port
Dell XPS 12 costs around Rs 93,000 in India which makes it a bit costly ultrabook But if you see the features it offers we feel that the price is justified. The ultrabook has amazing build quality and great design. It is one of the most beautifully design...
Extreme Performance, Great HD LED Screen, Durable Body Design, Comfortable Keyboard and Touchpad, Flexible Tablet Mode, Good battery life,
No Ethernet Port, No SD Card Slot, Heavy Weight, High Price

Very robust flipping mechanism, Full HD 1080p IPS Touchscreen
One of the heaviest products in this category. No HDMI, LAN or External Card Slot, Expensive
A well-designed ultrabook convertible with flip hinge design to make it easy to use it both modes. The screen protects the keyboard by covering it unlike the Yoga. Missing HDMI port and card slot are a disadvantage, but great performance and 5 hours batt...
Bright Full HD touchscreen, Fast performance, Good looks, Backlit keyboard.
No memory card reader, No HDMI (only Display Port), Expensive
The Dell XPS 12 is a solid performer with normal applications, and it can perform quite well even when faced with daunting multi-tasking. The unique flip screen form factor is complicated and probably that is the reason why nobody has attempted to imitat...
Abstract: It is raining convertibles in the market following the launch of Windows 8. But while most manufacturers have preferred to stick to the beaten notebook path and just made the regular display a touchscreen one, Dell has literally put a spin on the idea.The...

Abstract: Dell XPS Duo is a sturdy ultrabook convertible with a swivel based mechanism which converts the ultra book into a tablet. The 12-inch multi-touch display revolves within a thinly built metallic frame. This is something new so doubts about its practicality...
Thin design, Fairly lightweight for an ultrabook, Brilliant build quality, Excellent battery life, Very good display quality, Full HD resolution makes this perfect for multimedia, Backlit keyboard
The swivel screen mechanism doesn't have a lock, Works better in ultrabook mode
Dell has carried out the same excellence from the XPS 14 as far as design and build is concerned, with the Dell XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook. The display flip is a very unique feature to have. Performance is fairly acceptable, but the cherry on the cake i...
Powerful processor, Massive SSD, Strong built, Bright display, Comes with Win 8 OS, Powerful enough to perform various tasks
Expensive, Few glitches when using at tablet mode, Screenheavy design, Windows 8 app store has not much to offer
At 88888, XPS 12 seems to look pretty pricey but still it is worth the cost. Great screen, strong spec sheet, upgraded OS, huge memory and capability to transform into an amazing tablet, this new touchscreen based ultrabook is sure to win hearts. And also...
