It might not be quite as versatile as the Yoga, but we love it anyway for its solid build quality, attractive design and unusually cushy keyboard. Otherwise, it's the same machine it always was, with a 12.5-inch, 1080p screen that flips around in its hinge so that you can show off presentations and stuff to people sitting opposite you. All told, between the beefier battery and new chipset, Dell is promising this thing will last 9.5 hours on a charge - more than three hours longer than the OG model. The Dell XPS 12 has always been on this list, so you can bet we have effusive things to say now that it's been upgraded with Haswell, NFC and a larger battery (50Wh, up from 47Wh). Now that these companies have had a chance to go back to the drawing board, we're starting to see more form factors we'd actually want to use.
The results were mixed - so mixed, in fact, that our last two laptop buyer's guides have had just two recommendations in the convertible category. Others had a sliding design, and one even attempted two screens. In those early months, we saw laptops whose screens could rotate, pop out, detach and fold over. When Windows 8 first came out, PC makers were experimenting with all sorts of inventive designs in an effort to figure out what consumers actually wanted. Read on to see what made the cut - and what's been dropped from our guide since last fall. Whether you're in the market for an Ultrabook, convertible, gaming rig or a Chromebook, we've got a suggestion that should fit the bill.
In the coming weeks, we'll have fresh tablet and phone picks, but today, we're all about the laptops. CES has been over for a month now, which means it's high time we update all our buyer's guides with some of the new stuff that was just announced.
