Verdict

The Dell XPS 10 is a 10.1-inch Windows RT tablet featuring a 1366 x 768 IPS touchscreen, powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage. This specific variant includes 3G connectivity for mobile broadband alongside dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Its primary advantages include exceptional battery life (exceeding 10 hours on the tablet alone), a comfortable soft-touch rubberized design, and the inclusion of Microsoft Office 2013. However, its main drawbacks are the significant software limitations of the Windows RT platform, which cannot run standard desktop .exe files, and a build quality that feels somewhat plasticky with noticeable screen flex under pressure.
