Dell’s new convertible tablet and Ultrabook Push the boundaries of computing

Dell is ushering in the next era of computing with a redesigned portfolio of business and consumer PCs designed to take advantage of advances in new operating systems. Built to best optimize Windows 8, Dell has crafted inspired designs that enable new user experiences and make touch computing available to more customers than ever before the XPS 12 convertible and Inspiron 15z.

The new offerings free customers from carrying multiple devices, helping them save time and be more productive. The gorgeous and durable designs offer unparalleled security and manageability, empowering users to keep pace in an always-connected world.

“The combination of new Dell hardware and Microsoft software will allow customers to create and consume content in new and exciting ways,” said Sam Burd, Vice President and General Manager Personal Computer Product Group. “We’re unveiling a comprehensive refresh of all our consumer and commercial products to take advantage of Windows 8.  These stylish new products include clean and intuitive touch experiences, the security and manageability required by IT departments, and features to allow anytime, anywhere access to data and applications.”

New Dell Convertible Tablet: Built for Work & Play:

The XPS 12 is two devices in one: a fully-featured, full-powered laptop that easily becomes a fully-featured touch-powered tablet. The unique flip hinge touchscreen display is elegant and innovative and easily transitions between laptop and tablet mode with a simple flip. When in tablet mode, the display completely covers the keyboard, protecting it from dirt and spills. The vibrant Full HD display provides 90 percent more pixels than a standard HD display for an exceptionally crisp reading and viewing experience.

New Touchscreen Experiences for the New Year:

Dell is also unveiling the Inspiron 15z Ultrabook just in time for the New Year. The Ultrabook has an optional touchscreen interface and packs loads of features into a svelte silhouette, perfect for those who want “more” more display, more entertainment options, and more processing power. Measuring less than 1-inch thick, the Inspiron 15z boasts plenty of performance, great battery life and responsiveness, along with an attractive aluminium finish.
