Dell today raised the bar on computing with the announcement of
the XPS 18, a design breakthrough that achieves a perfect blend of
weight, large display size and performance in a thin, elegant and
highly mobile design. With a huge 18.4-inch Full HD capacitive
touch display, the XPS 18 opens up new possibilities in multimedia
and casual gaming for families, yet is still easy to use thanks to
its surprisingly light weight. In addition to its innovative
design, the XPS 18 hits the much sought after sweet spot between
mobile entertainment and desktop-level productivity, and
dramatically redefines beliefs of what a PC can do.

Built with families and active consumers in mind, the XPS 18 is
the world’s thinnest, lightest and most portable AIO, and can be
easily transported around the house for watching movies in the
living room, playing games with the family, viewing recipes in the
kitchen or creating professional presentations in the home office.
When it’s time to move the XPS 18 into another room to do homework
in a quiet environment, its slim and lightweight design make it so
portable a child can carry it.
The XPS 18 boasts a number of competitive and industry firsts
that set a new standard for AIOs. Starting at just 4.85 lbsi with
an optional SSD drive, the XPS 18 is less than half the weight of
other currently available portable AIOs and has nearly double the
battery life offering up to five hours of run time between
chargesii. The 18.4-inch Full HD touchscreen is over three times
the screen size of the Apple iPad (nearly twice the diagonal) and
lends itself to new ways of sharing a computer and collaborating on
a single device. It is light enough to hand back and forth, but the
screen is large and vibrant enough for multiple people to watch
videos, share content or enjoy dual-player games on the same screen
from a variety of angles. The XPS 18 is based on third-generation
Intel Core processors and Windows 8 operating system for
no-compromise performance, whether docked or on the go.
The XPS 18 is built on the XPS heritage of uncompromised form,
function and thoughtful craftsmanship, and combines the performance
characteristics of a primary home PC with the advanced design
features of other XPS products. The XPS 18 features an aluminum
back finish with soft grip for traction and comfort. It comes with
a wireless keyboard and mouse and its flexible design allows it to
be used in a variety of ways for the most comfortable viewing
angle: on an optional powered stand for ‘walk up’ computing; on any
flat surface using the built-in flip-out feet; laid flat for
sharing; or held on your lap for reading and browsing.
“The XPS 18 will change the way people define and use a PC
today,” said Kirk Schell, vice president, Consumer PC Group, Dell.
“Everyone who uses it is shocked and amazed at how light it is and
comfortable to use in a variety of settings. By combining the
performance, versatility and space-saving design of a traditional
AIO with an ultra-thin and light touch display and unmatched
battery life, we’re giving customers a whole new computing
experience that can go anywhere.”
Personal and Professional Content Anytime, Anywhere
As a bonus, the Dell Wyse PocketCloud application is
pre-installed on the XPS 18, helping users build their own
“personal cloud” and remotely manage personal and professional
content. By combining PocketCloud with the portability of the XPS
18, mobile workers will be able to enjoy a brilliant multimedia
experience with access to all of their apps and content from
virtually anywhere.
Availability and Pricing
The XPS 18 will be available on Dell.com in the United States
and in select countries in Europe on April 16, starting at
$899.99.
