Dell at IFA 2012: XPS 10 Windows RT tablet, XPS Duo 12 convertible, and more

It's fortunate that Dell saw the potential: combined with a switch from the company's budget Inspiron line to its premium level XPS series, the XPS Duo 12 makes a very strong case for this unusual form factor over that of the tablet / keyboard dock combo. We've had a chance to use a pre-production unit of the machine here at IFA 2012, and while Dell doesn't want to reveal specs beyond its 12.5-inch "Full HD" screen and up to Core i7 processor, it's clear that the company has put together a good option here.

Dell has announced the addition of a 10-point touchscreen to its XPS One 27 all-in-one desktop computer, augmenting the unit's existing 27-inch quad-HD display. Demoing the new version at IFA in Berlin, the company has also shown off a reclining stand, allowing users to view and interact with the device from a number of angles.

Today in Berlin, Dell is unveiling the XPS 10; a 10-inch Snapdragon S4 Windows RT tablet with a micro USB port for external storage and a slim-hinge mobile keyboard dock. The dock is also used to house an extended battery that gives the device a combined 20 hours on a single charge. Dell says that the XPS 10 will be available in October for the launch of Windows 8 along with its all-in-one XPS One 27 and convertible laptop XPS 12 brethren.
