Another important factor was how easily the device connected to the keyboard base. Dell eliminated any need for two-handed contact in the XPS 12: there are no latches or hinges where the device attaches to the base. You drop the device into the slot at a 90-degree angle and it slides into the proper place. To remove, you just pull the device up and it slides back out.

As for the tablet itself, the XSP 12 boasts 12.5-inch full HD display, and you can upgrade to a sharp, 3840 x 2160-resolution 4K touchscreen as well. The tablet also has an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera, and support for Dell Pen Active although the device itself doesn't come with a stylus. It has not one, but two USB 3 Type-C connectors, so you can easily charge the XPS 12 while still using it with a connected peripheral or while charging another device of yours.

Both the Dell XPS 13 and XSP 15 will replace the previous models that were released earlier this year. The XPS 13 starts at $799 and the XPS starts at $999 and they're available to order today.

The XPS will start at $999, bundled with its keyboard and a protective case, and is available in two configurations in mid-November: one with an FHD display, a 2.7GHz Intel Core m5-6Y54 processor, 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD storage, and another with a 4K display and 256GB SSD storage with the same processor and RAM.

Cons

- unsatisfactory battery performance
- 12-month standard warranty only

Verdict

In review: Dell XPS 12 9250 4K. Test model courtesy of Dell Germany

Dell's XPS 12 9250 is a slim, 12.5-inch convertible. The installed Intel Core m7 6Y75 processor has enough power for routine tasks, and its TDP allows passive cooling. The SSD impresses with high read rates and ensures a fast-running system. The high-resolution, 12.5-inch screen with 3840x2160 pixels convinces with high contrast, good color-space coverage and strong viewing-angle stability. It is also very responsive as an input device and implements commands instantaneously. The keyboard dock nicely matches the tablet's looks and pleases the user with a quiet keyboard and accurately functioning touchpad.

At first glance, an elegant convertible that becomes even more interesting when looking closer at the specifications. The question remains whether Dell has perhaps set the price too high, though.

Despite all that, there is still reason for criticism. The tilting angle cannot be adapted to the seating position, which does not allow an ergonomic work position at the desk. Although the review sample is furnished with the strongest processor from Intel's Core m lineup, the performance cannot be completely retrieved. Thus, Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 with a Core m3, for example, is sometimes much faster. We would also have hoped for a longer battery life. The battery performance should be somewhat better in a tablet that is also marketed for the business sector.

Purchase recommendation or not - anyone thinking about buying this kind of device will now know what shortcomings have to be expected and/or what convincing aspects the device has. Dell demands an exorbitant 1799 Euros (~$2051) for the test configuration. That is definitely not a bargain, but it is one of the few devices with a 4K panel in a 12.5-inch size - if that is the driving force. Perhaps a configuration with a weaker CPU would come into question since the full performance of the installed Core m7 processor cannot be retrieved anyway.
