The Dell XPS 18 is either an all-in-one desktop computer with a touchscreen display, or an enormous table that you can prop up with a kickstand to use like a desktop. Either way, it’s a computer with an 18.4 inch, 1080p touchscreen display and a 5 hour battery.
It’s now available for pre-order from Dell for $900 and up.
The entry-lvel price gets you a model with an Intel Pentium 2117U processor,Intel HD 4000 graphics, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a Dell wireless keyboard.
There’s also a $1000 model with a Core i3 Ivy Bridge processor and 500GB hard drive, or a $1350 version with a Core i5 chip, 8GB of RAM, and a 32GB solid state drive paired with a 500GB hard drive.
All three models run Windows 8 64-bit software.
Weighing nearly 5 pounds, this tablet weighs many laptop computers — so I wouldn’t really expect to take it out to the coffee shop to read a book. But it joins a growing number of desktop PCs that you can pick up and carry around the house for use in a different room without turning the device off.
Asus and Sony have similar offerings, but the Dell XPS 18 is the cheapest of the bunch.
thanks Tom!
With it being an all-in-one, it would take up a lot less space on my desk plus it looks cool. I wish I had something like that at work. At that price, I doubt they would go for it. 🙁
I wonder if both ASUS and Dell use the same display panel. There can’t be too many manufacturers making 18.4″ 1080p touchscreens. (SONY’s is 20″)
