Dell’s XPS 18 is the latest all-in-one PC that aims to live a double life as an oversized tablet.
The device is similar to the Sony Tap 20, running Windows 8 and offering portability through a battery. However, it’s nowhere near as wacky as the Asus Transformer AiO which doubles as both a Windows PC and an Android tablet.
Although Dell might be playing it safe in terms of the software, the firm hopes to attract users by claiming to have the lightest and thinnest device on the market. But when we say light we’re not exactly talking featherweight.
The 18.4in full-HD display is the headline feature in the device, but it brings with it considerable bulk. Whether you’re holding it in your hands or resting it on your lap, as Dell claims is possible, you’re going to feel the weight. At 2.1kg the device is not something users are going to be holding for long periods of time, either.
