Dell XPS 11 Haswell Ultrabook Flips Like the Yoga, Brings 11-inch Retina Display (video)
Posted by Ben Lang in New Products, News on June 3, 2013
At Computex 2013, Dell is showing off their new XPS 11 Ultrabook — it’s an impressive combination of many of the latest technologies. First is Haswell / 4th-gen Core, Intel’s latest processor, then there’s a high density 11-inch screen. On top of that, we’re looking at a convertible Ultrabook that flips just like the Lenovo Yoga. Impressive as it may be, we see some early red flags.

Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on May 14, 2013
Some Ultrabooks focus on getting things done and although the end result is often a little on the dull side you can sense that you’re moving faster than with some other laptops and Ultrabooks. The Dell Latitude 6430u is one of those Ultrabooks and we’ve just had the pleasure of a few weeks testing it. Full review below.; Overview review video at the bottom of this post.

Dell Inspiron 15Z Touch, Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch. Double Unboxing (and drop test!)
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Hands-On on February 7, 2013
The Dell Inspiron 15z Touch is here for a review (with an Nvidia GT630M GPU) and out of the blue, a Samsung Series 5 Ultra Touch (with SSD) turned up today too so as is the law around these parts, I unboxed them for you. Actually I took 15 minutes to take a good look at both and, ahem, dropped the Samsung Series 5 in the process!
Dell XPS 13 gets Hi-res screen next week
Dell’s XPS 13 has been available for a while and has been well received but a couple of features were not as well liked as others.

Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Review on January 29, 2013

Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook Finally Upgrading to 1080p, Still Needs More Ports
The Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook was well regarded as a first generation Ultrabook when it launched back in early 2012. Unfortunately Dell has done little to keep the XPS 13 competitive with second-generation Ultrabooks. Despite finally upgrading the internals to the latest Ivy Bridge processors from Intel, Dell left the 13.3-inch display with the same measly 1366×768 resolution — not unusable by any means, but not what you expect on a premium device. Now Dell is finally giving the XPS 13 a full 1080p display.

Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on November 28, 2012
Dell’s project Sputnik was formed to create a Linux-based developer-focused distro that would run on specific hardware. Over the last 7 months Dell have been working to build a final product with developers and component suppliers using the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook. Developer edition models went out in July.

Tri-Band Card by Wilocity and Qualcomm-Atheros Brings First WiGig Solution to Ultrabooks
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on November 8, 2012
Qualcomm and Wilocity have just released details of the tri-band Wireless card that’s coming to Ultrabooks.

Dell Latitude 6430u Launches for Business Users
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in News on September 21, 2012
Like HP with their EliteBook Folio 9470m, Toshiba with their Z930, Lenovo with their X1 Carbon, Dell are launching a business-focused Ultrabook. The Dell Latitude 6430u was leaked back in May but formal launch was announced by Dell this week.
Clearly they were waiting for Windows 8 but note that this isn’t a touchscreen Ultrabook, despite the pretty touch-led Metro user interface being shown above.
Dell XPS 12 Convertible 12 Hands-On
Posted by Steve Chippy Paine in Hands-On on September 13, 2012
Update: Product specifications and tracking page is now live.
The Dell XPS 12 Convertible Duo is an impressive looking Ultrabook. People here at IDF are flocking to it to check out the unique flip screen. The design works well but like all convertible designs that retain the keyboard, can’t give you a lightweight tablet. A 1.4KG tablet isn’t very mobile but it does offer something for those that primarily want a touchscreen Ultrabook with occasional tablet-style capabilities. This could be a good one as an ice-breaker for business meetings though!
