Hey guys! Have you seen a tablet built in a laptop case? No? Well, stay with us then.You know that there are no rules for innovation in technology. It can be anything as long as it is functional and well-performing. This is a very accurate description for the new Dell XPS 12 convertible touch ultrabook.
The 12’’ sensor screen easily converts into a tablet with a single flip and fold motion
At first sight the appearance impressed us with the textured case surface. It does not attract fingerprints and is finely underlined by the silver border line along the edges. The chassis is constructed from durable materials – machined aluminum, bonded Corning Gorilla Glass and carbon fiber – simply a wonderful make.
The 12’’ sensor screen easily converts into a tablet with a single flip and fold motion. Just rotate it inside the aluminum panel rim till it provides the most comfortable angle. Flip the screen and close the laptop there you go, you have a tablet. Now the world is at the tip of your fingers. The flipping mechanism runs smooth and is stable as Dell says it stands out with durability. The hinge of each unit has been tested to 20 000 cycles, which stands for doing 10 flips per day for the next 5 and a half years.
