PLEASE Get it right.
By Blumbeck
First things first.
Amazon seems to have some incorrect specs and information on the 'XPS 10' I hope to clear this up for some of you. The following is the latest information on the xps10 Tablet.
XPS 10 OS is windows 'RT' NOT windows '8' (that is the Latitude 10 tablet)
XPS 10 CPU is the 'Qualcom Snapdragon S4 dual core 1.5 ghz' NOT the 'Intel Atom'
and again (that is the Latitude 10 tablet).
XPS 10 Has dual band WiFi plus Bluetooth 4.0 NOT single band WiFi, and once again (that is the Latitude 10) and there are a few other things which I do not need to go into.
Now, I gave The XPS10, '5' stars because it has earned them. I did some homework before I ordered mine so I was aware of what some people considered 'drawbacks or failings' with the tablet.
The first thing you need to understand is The 'xps10 running Windows RT' can not run programs written to run on 'Windows 8' as the cpu cant run the 'exe' files needed for these programs. Now I will admit that seems to be a BIG stumbling block at first glance until you consider the fact 'Virus Attacks' enter your systems through 'exe' files or carry their own 'exe' command. since the S4 cpu cant run the 'exe' files you really dont need to worry too much about anti-virus software or the pitfalls of opening an e-mail attachment from your 'great great Aunte Daisy' and FYI the xps10 comes with 'Windows Defender' to guard against 'Trojan Horses' and the like.
NEXT,,Some people have complained about the lack of 'APP's' available for RT. really??. I checked the Windows app store a few weeks ago and at that time the store had OVER 30,000 apps available, many are free some you pay for. Is it always easy to find what you need at the store? No but that is not an issue with the xps10, THAT is an issue with microsoft. And the store Does continue to add apps all of the time so if they don't seem to have what you are looking for now, they may later. I do know the 'Amazon Kindle' app is killer, to me it is nice being able to read a book without all the 'Eye strain'.
SOOO,,,How do I use my XPS10?
Well I take it to work with me and on my breaks and lunch I can and do the following: Read a book, Check my e-mail, Watch a movie or tv episode, stream video from 'Amazon' work on photo editing, listen to music, in the event I need to write instructions for other employees as to how to perform specific jobs, no prob as the Xps10 comes with 'Office Home and Student 2013rt', and I have also used it to check orders I have placed online, and the list goes on.
Fyi for those of you who wonder I use a 'Clear 4G' hot spot for my wifi connection.
It's a good combo.
If you purchase the XPS10, purchase the dell keyboard dock to go with it. You will not only double the Battery life between charges (18 - 20 hours) but when you surf the net and/or use the 'Desk top' it makes life so much easyer and if thats not enough the Keyboaed Dock has 2 full size USB3.0 ports and a mini 'Hdmi'
To top it all off,,Storage space!
The xps10 tablet proper accepts 'Micro SD' cards through a covered slot in the top of the tablet, these run up to 64gb, and on top of that if you have the keyboard dock you can add 2 usb flash drives @64gb each (now thats storage).
There are some features I have not addressed such as 'Cloud Storage' or 'Skype', well I don't use 'Skype' as I havent any reason to. And as far as 'Cloud Storage' is concerned,,and you may quote me 'IT IS NOT SAFE AND SECURE' for those of you who think it is I would direct you to the fact the NSA as well as others have gotten into records we have thought were private and secure.
There are a couple of things that bother me ,,but it is with the 'Windows app store' and 'Microsoft' Not with the XPS10
1. The apps store needs to come up with a better search method other than Most recent or Most popular app. as it stands you can spend quite a bit of time looking through everything and still not find what you are looking for.
2. Microsoft should come out with a 'Outlook rt',,yes I must admit I love outlook (I know how to use it)
(UPDATE: There is a very EASY search method to use at the 'Windows app store' when you are searching for a specific app, For example I needed an app which would play 'mpg' format vids, now I knew the app store had an app that could play these vids because every time my tablet refused to play that format it would end by saying 'There is an app at the app store which can play this format, Now without puting too fine a point on the matter, there are alot of apps at the store and It would take forever to look through them all, and yes I did spend a few hours searching, hence my uninformed badmouthing of Microsoft, well these boys were alot smarter than I thought and as it turns out 'smarter than me'. While at the 'Windows App Store' looking for an app, do the following,,,,swipe your finger from the Right side outside edge inward, this will bring up a menu of 'Icons' select the one which looks like a magnifying glass and tap it. You will note the search box is right above a line which says 'app store',,yep all those wasted hours of mine. All I did is enter 'mpg' and in a couple of seconds the search brought up a bunch of apps that would not only play my videos but others would help me figgure out my fuel economy,,,Sorry Microsoft I guess I should have watched the windows rt training videos which are installed on the xps10. nuff said)
Is the XPS10 the best tablet around?? That would be just like saying that Ford or Chev makes the best cars and trucks. What do YOU want?
I can only say I gave the xps10 5 stars because it earned them. It's like an Ax, I bought it to chop wood. Now if it doesnt chop the wood, I need a different Ax.
But The xps10 chops my wood just fine.
I will monitor this post incase anyone has questions, I will try to respond to them in a timely fashon
Thanks.

A Quality Tablet, Not The Best or The Worst of the Current 10.1" Offerings
By M. Anaximenes
Owing to my occupation, I was afforded the opportunity to test drive this tablet pre-release, and pit it against a similarly sized Asus offering and two other competitors in an effort to determine which of the four best suits our needs.
Overall, the Asus VivoTab was my selection as I found that it outperformed the competition in the areas critical to our business need, however the Dell XPS stacks up fairly well and deserves an honorable mention as the runner up. While Dell Tablets aren't generally viewed as the top of the heap these days, they have produced a viable, quality and well built offering in the XPS 10. Prior to this one, my last experience with a Dell tab was with the Streak, an android powered device which I found unremarkable. I am happy to say that the overall build and design of the XPS is a dramatic improvement and offers far greater durability, battery life and screen responsiveness.
*The dual-core SnapDragon processor, much to my surprise, performed nearly as well as the Tegra found in the Asus VivoTab, which speaks volumes for the work Dell put into this device. I experienced no lag time whatsoever when fast switching from app to app and task to task, which in itself is a selling point to me.
*The gorilla glass screen is, as advertised, remarkably strong, as I found out after having dropped the device which landed face down. If you are a bit of a clutz, I always recommend opting for a device with gorilla glass, as it can save you from a bothersome scratch or scuff which, even if it wont affect functionality, can aggravate the heck out of you for having marred an otherwise flawless device.
*the 2GB LP-DDR2 is more than many current laptops come equipped with, and enough to assure that the even the heavy user who frequently uses memory intensive apps will never fall short or experience lags.
*Windows 8 (RT) is a smooth and quality build, and will seem quite familiar to those who have prior experience with Android-like OS, as it has been designed to be as mobile and intuitive as possible and in most ways succeeded.
*The battery life did fall a bit short of what I got from the Asus, having netted me only about 7 hours of heavy use before needing a recharge, but in the grand scheme of things this seems somewhat negligible.
Overall a 4 star device and one that you wont regret owning.

XPS 10 OK tablet.
By ST
I recently purchased this tablet to take on my business trips for entertainment and the occasional web search at home while seating on the couch.
The poor:
* I bought the 32 GB but just out of the box availability - 15.4 GB, after initial Windows updates - 14 GB available.
* Unable to hook Tablet to my PC to transfer data - not a big thing since you can use the micro SD to transfer data, just and extra step.
* Need to have a Microsoft acct to download Apps to your Tablet
* You can't install just any software on your tablet, I guess the RT O/S is very new and not that many options out there. I tried to install my Shared home printer(Brother MFC) and that could not be done. Also tried some work apps, no go!
The Good:
* Great screen, very clear and works well with the touch aspect(first time using something like this).
* Pretty intuitive, there are some options that I'm just getting use to, but as I start playing around, I'm noticing there are shortcuts to moving around. A more advanced users would have no problem figuring things out.
* Plays all my mp3 music and mp4 videos, very nice sound system for a tablet.
All in all, not a bad little unit. I did not want to buy an Ipad because I did not want to have to sync everything through Itunes, hate that. So this will meet my needs and the battery life seems to be fine for my nominal usage.
I'll update later if more items come to mind, but as far as recommending, I would say a safe buy. Only wish there was a nice protective case I could get.
btw - I did not pay the extra $180 for the keyboard/battery. Might have been a good idea to get for someone who is planning on doing a lot of emailing/working. This does come with OneNote, which I think is the greatest thing MicroSoft has come out with in some time.
