Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had this model (4th generation Core i7/8GB RAM/SSD) for about a month and it's very fast and versatile. It's a high end desktop when I need it and it's a giant, lightweight tablet for casual use. The fold-out feet allow use at optimal desktop and tablet angles. The desktop stand makes the machine look like a regular all-in-one, and the wireless keyboard and mouse work great every time. The XPS 18 takes full advantage of Windows 8.1, and the OS is a joy to use on this machine. The screen looks great and I'm getting better battery life than I'd expected (similar to my 10 inch tablet)

Only had this product for several days but I am very happy with the purchase...best buy was the only place I could find the XPS 18 with an SSD hard drive (there is no noise and not much heat coming from the machine). Seems to handle everything I need it to do...mostly amateur photography and surfing. The 18" screen size is perfect for me...no eye strain like I get with the iPad. It is a little large for laying on the couch/bed surfing. Also the size and weight make it feel a little more fragile (I keep my kids away from this thing while they run the house with our iPads). I was worried about windows 8 but it really works well with the user interfaces on this machine. I do suggest to purchase the adjustable stand with built in charger (the model I purchased came with the stand even though I couldn't find it listed on the website).
