Dell's XPS 11 2-in-1 Ultrabook really looks the part, and promises a lot. But it falls short in a key, or should we say keyboard, area. It's light, performance may not be stunning but it's perfectly adequate for a notebook this portable, the price isn't...

We have been puzzling over this machine for the last week, as it sat on our desk in front of us. It's an undeniably beautiful machine, sleek, black, light and very cool-looking. But what to do with it? As a laptop it's left flailing because its keyboard...

Dell set out to make a tablet device first that could convert into a laptop when users needed it, and it has succeeded, partially, with the XPS 11. Last year, the Dell XPS 12 turned heads with its unorthodox screen-swiveling design. This new hybrid...

To look at the Dell XPS 11 is to want to own one. The design is modern, sleek and drop dead sexy--especially if you're fond of Dell's carbon fiber look. The display is stunning, the keyboard looks and is innovative and build quality is excellent....

Dell positions the XPS 11 as a premium tablet that has a keyboard as a bonus feature. But I kind of have to wonder how big the market is for high-priced tablets with crappy keyboards. The typing experience is bad enough that the Dell XPS 11 feels like...

The XPS 11 runs on 4th generation Intel Haswell Y series dual core CPUs, the lower power relative to the U series CPUs used in Ultrabooks and Surface Pro 2. Most Windows tablets with Intel Core CPUs run on the Y series since it sips less power and runs a...

The Dell XPS 11 may look like an Ultrabook, but Dell has made some design decisions to make it a tablet-first and Ultrabook-second system, placing emphasis on the high resolution touchscreen rather than the keyboard.Though the Dell XPS 11 may look like...

The screen doesn't swivel like others, but the XPS 11 2-in-1 Ultrabook is Dell's thinnest and lightest to date. It's also among its best equipped. Despite a few flaws, not the least of which is price and uncool screen movement, the verdict on Dell's...
