Dell XPS 12 (2013)
As Dell XPS 13, Dell XPS 14, Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 8700, Dell XPS 12 also has very confertable performance.
Pros: Innovative flip-screen design; More than 9 hours of battery life; Beautiful high-res display; Strong performance Cons: No SD Card slot; Heavy for a tablet The Verdict: With a fourth-generation Intel processor and a higher-capacity battery, Dell's updated XPS 12 is an excellent 12-inch tablet-laptop hybrid that can go the distance.
The Dell XPS 12 turned our heads last year with its unique flip-display design, making it a cinch to change from laptop to tablet mode. The latest edition looks to build on that success by shaving off some ounces and seriously boosting the battery life so you can more easily use this tablet-laptop hybrid on the go.

Made of black carbon fiber and lined with precision-cut aluminum, the Dell XPS 12 is a joy to hold and behold. The lid, deck and bottom sport a soft-touch finish, making it easy to grip. A subtle weave pattern on the lid adds a unique aesthetic.
As with last year's model, the XPS 12's screen rotates within its aluminum frame, so it can be used either as a tablet or a traditional clamshell laptop. Two catches on the top and bottom of the frame hold the screen firmly in place. The frame is sturdy enough that it doesn't flex, even when the screen is in midrotation.

We still find Dell's approach to laptop-tablet hybrids to be the most elegant. Sliders such as the Sony VAIO Duo 13 leave the screen exposed and have more moving parts, while the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, which flips all the way back, leaves your fingers resting on the keyboard in tablet mode.
