    Some products are simply ahead of their time because they employ concepts and ideas that consumers aren't willing to accept. The Dell XPS 11 initially fell into this category, a statement which is reinforced by the fact Dell introduced the original XPS 11 in June 2013 and discontinued it just 6 months later. Originally the XPS 11 was offered as either an Intel Core i3 or Core i5 model with the latter costing a hefty $1499. Currently the laptop can be purchased for $899 or less online. At this price point the Dell XPS 11 becomes a very attractive Ultrabook considering its specifications and form factor. As such it may warrant a second look.

    Great review and that's a good perspective on it. This was definitely not without flaws ...wonder what the marketing folks said when it came out of engineering.

    That seems like an awfully big oversight in a Yoga-style convertible device. A lot of people are going to open and close it by the side, not the front-center of the lid (where you will get thumbprints on the webcam).

    I'm far less concerned about the size of the bezel. In tablet mode, a bezel gives you something to hold without setting off the touchscreen. Particularly with a heavy convertible tablet like this or my Duo 11, that's important.
