Reviews for the Dell XPS 18

Review Dell XPS 18 AIO Tablet | Notebookcheck

70% Dell XPS 18 review: 18.4-inch touch-sensitive all-in-one PC
Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
We were surprised how quickly we became used to having a device like the XPS 18 that could follow us from room to room. Of course, you could get a 15-inch laptop for half the price – but that wouldn’t have such a large and attractive HD display. That portability is, admittedly, a bit of a luxury – but it’s a luxury that you could learn to take for granted.

Dell XPS 18 Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
What Dell has created here is a truly unique amalgamation of elements. This computer can be a massive tablet, it can be a desktop machine, and it can be carried around in a custom-fitted carrying case that’s also already out on the market. This isn’t a computer made for the common user, that’s for sure – what it is made for is a user hoping to go big on multi-form computing.

18.40": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter.
