DELLXPS18 An 18in Windows 8 tablet that doubles as an all-in-one PC

摘要

Windows 8 is designed for touchscreensas well as keyboards and mice. This has led to some wacky PC designs that attempt to fuse together these two different ways of using your computer. One of the oddest products we've seen is the Dell XPS18.lt appears to be an all-in-one desktop PC with an 18in screen, but the 'screen' detaches from the base and can be used as a tablet. IT'S A PC It's a bizarre idea, buttheXPS18 does at least feel well made. We wouldn't want to drop any computer, but the plastic and metal frame feels reassuringly robust. The metal stand feels even sturdier, yet it's easy to tilt and swivel with one hand, unlike some other Windows all-in-one PCs we've seen. The screen neatly attaches to the stand using a magnetic connector, so it feels secure when used as an all-in-one PC, but disconnects easily for use as a tablet.
