Verdict

The Dell XPS 10 is a 10.1-inch Windows RT tablet featuring a 1366 x 768 IPS display protected by Asahi Dragontail glass and powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor. This cellular-enabled model comes equipped with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal eMMC storage, and a microSD slot that supports an additional 32GB of expandable memory. Key advantages include an exceptionally long battery life that can reach up to 20 hours when paired with its optional keyboard dock, a lightweight 635g portable design, and the inclusion of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT. However, significant drawbacks include the limited Windows RT ecosystem which cannot run traditional desktop (.exe) programs, a somewhat flexible plastic build quality, and a lack of integrated full-sized USB ports on the tablet itself.

Dell XPS 10 review Would you like technical specifications regarding the cellular bands or SIM card compatibility for the XPS 10?

The Dell XPS 10 is described as a high-end, highly portable Windows RT hybrid tailored for business users, featuring a 10.1-inch tablet with a premium soft-touch finish and a sturdy mechanical keyboard dock. A standout feature is the exceptional battery life, with the tablet and dock combined offering up to 18.5 hours of HD video playback, alongside a comfortable design. Conversely, the device suffers from the limitations of the Windows RT operating system, restricting users to app store software, and is plagued by a mediocre 1366 x 768 display described as "lifeless". While the dock excels, the tablet itself feels hollow, and the total weight exceeds some 13-inch ultrabooks.

The Business Matters review highlights the Dell XPS 10 as a standout Windows RT tablet, driven by a 10-hour battery life that extends to over 20 hours with the optional keyboard dock. Its 10.1-inch screen, portability, and included Microsoft Office suit business travelers, though the Windows RT operating system limits software to the Windows Store, failing to support legacy applications.

The Dell XPS 10, a Windows RT hybrid, is highlighted by Trusted Reviews for its stylish design, excellent build-quality, and exceptional 18-hour battery life when paired with its keyboard dock. The device offers a great, "unparalleled" typing experience for its size, but is hindered by a creaky rear panel and a sometimes unresponsive touchpad. While boasting good brightness, the screen's 1,366 x 768 resolution and viewing angles are only average compared to competitors. Ultimately, despite the impressive battery life, limitations in the Windows RT ecosystem and build quality issues make it a harder sell against superior Windows 8 alternatives, according to Trusted Reviews.

The CNET review describes the Dell XPS 10 as a "serviceable if unremarkable" Windows RT tablet that feels more like a laptop, featuring a 10.1-inch display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, and a plastic construction. A key advantage is the optional $180 keyboard dock, which boosts battery life to an impressive 20 hours and adds ports, though the tablet alone only provides 8.5 hours of power.

Dell XPS 10 - Review 2013 PCMag

The Dell XPS 10 is a 10.1-inch, Windows RT-based convertible tablet designed for extreme portability, featuring a premium magnesium alloy build and weighing 1.36 pounds. It is powered by a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, making it a capable "road warrior" for basic productivity tasks. The device's primary pros include a durable build and an optional keyboard dock that extends battery life to over 20 hours. The main constraint, or con, is the limited Windows RT environment, which restricts users to Windows Store apps and precludes the installation of traditional legacy desktop software. Additionally, the tablet features limited local storage, typically 32GB or 64GB. Despite these limitations, it offers a comfortable, well-spaced keyboard with built-in speakers, enhancing the overall user experience. While the Dell XPS 10 was named an Editors' Choice for its superior longevity, it is best suited for users who prioritize cloud-based workflows and Microsoft Office over heavy software compatibility. It serves as a highly portable, long-lasting solution for basic web browsing and document handling.

While the 10.1-inch IPS screen provides good brightness (339 cd/m²), it suffers from poor color fidelity, particularly in yellow, blue, and green tones.

The Dell XPS 10 is a Windows RT hybrid device that functions as a "chameleon," transitioning between a standalone, lightweight tablet and a laptop with a sturdy, detachable keyboard dock. While featuring a functional design, the tablet itself feels somewhat plasticky and basic compared to competitors.
