Offering uncompromised design for on-the-go content creation and consumption, the XPS 10 delivers laptop-like productivity in a tablet so users can fluidly transition from work projects to their personal passions. Dell understands that time is precious, and the HD multi-touch display with split screen capability is ideal for multitasking complete with an optional mobile keyboard dock featuring a full-sized keyboard and touchpad for easy typing, file management and browsing, ports and stereo speakers for expert sound quality, and an extra battery for maximum productivity. The XPS 10 is powered by Microsoft Windows RT and dual-core ARM architecture.

The XPS 12 is two devices in one: a fully-featured laptop that easily becomes a fully-featured touch-powered tablet. The unique flip hinge touchscreen display is elegant and innovative; and transitions between laptop and tablet mode with a simple flip. When in tablet mode, the display completely covers the keyboard, protecting it from dirt and spills.
