Third-party reviews

What customers like about Dell XPS 10 3G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Exceptional battery life exceeding 20 hours when used with the keyboard dock
  • High portability with a thin and light tablet design
  • Comfortable soft-touch finish that provides a secure grip and premium feel
  • Sturdy and functional keyboard dock that significantly improves productivity
  • Good connectivity options, including a microSD slot for expandable storage
  • Dual batteries (one in the tablet, one in the dock) allow for all-day use

What customers don't like about Dell XPS 10 3G (2GB + 64GB)

  • Windows RT operating system is highly restricted, lacking support for legacy desktop apps
  • Extremely limited app library compared to iOS or Android
  • Tablet build quality can feel 'plasticky' with noticeable flex or creaking on the back
  • Screen resolution (1366 x 768) is lower than many high-end competitors
  • Significant weight increase when docked (roughly 1.3kg), making it heavier than some ultrabooks
  • Performance lag during multitasking or when opening intensive programs

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.
