Dell XPS 12 now available for purchase starting at $999 USD

Fanless portables are getting more powerful with each day and the latest Dell XPS 12 is a solid proof of this statement. Dell XPS 12 is, in fact, a convertible 12.5-inch fanless tablet that comes together with a keyboard dock so both can turn into a 2.8-pound compact notebook.

Dell introduced the new XPS 12 last month, and now it can be already acquired directly from the company's website. There are two configurations currently up for sale:

• Intel Core M5-6Y54 processor, full HD display, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD - $999.99 USD
• Intel Core M5-6Y54 processor, 4k Ultra HD display, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD - $1,299.99 USD

For $50 USD more, each of these models can be purchased together with Dell's USB Type-C to HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB 3.0 adapter. Additional features of both configurations mentioned above include WiFi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.1, 5 MP/8 MP front/back camera, two Thunderbolt 3 ports. The keyboard dock has backlit keys and a glass touchpad.

Dell will add to the list of accessories available for this convertible an ergonomic active stylus "soon" as well. Its price has not been unveiled yet.
