Dell XPS 18 is up for pre-order online: $900 and up, shipping in May

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/xps18leadimage.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Add this to the list of Tax Day surprises: the Dell XPS 18 all-in-one is available for pre-order online one day ahead of schedule. The giant tablet / semi-portable desktop won't actually ship until the first week in May, but you can add one of three configurations to your cart now. The entry-level model, with a Pentium processor and a 320GB hard drive, will set you back $900, while Core i3 and Core i5 versions are priced at $1,000 and $1,350, respectively. We liked what we saw when we went hands-on with the 4.85-pound PC: its flip-out feet let you transition between slate and desktop mode easily, and the 1080 capacitive touch display is very crisp. Admittedly, there is only a handful of tabletop Windows 8 slates, but the XPS 18 can hold its own against the Sony VAIO Tap 20 and Lenovo's jumbo-sized Horizon Table PC.

Dell's hybrid XPS 18 is a $900 all-in-one PC and an 18-inch tablet

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Dell's hybrid XPS 18 is a $900 allinone PC and an 18inch tablet" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/xps18leadimage.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Dell is pulling back the curtain on the XPS 18, its new portable all-in-one. This machine is a natural competitor to the Sony VAIO Tap 20, with a built-in battery rated for five hours of runtime, although it weighs a much lighter 4.85 pounds (versus a whopping 11.4). Still, though the XPS 18 can function as a tablet, it's portable in the sense that it can move from office to living room; it's not going to accompany you on daily subway rides.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <span>With an 18.4-inch, 1080p display, the XPS 18 makes for a pretty enormous slate, and we were only comfortable holding it in our hands for a few minutes, though resting it on our lap worked well. The AIO sports flip-out plastic feet on its backing, and these can prop up the device vertically or at an angle. Of course, you can also use the XPS 18 as a tablet by simply laying it flat on a table or desktop, and this is the ideal mode for playing games and the like on the 10-point touchscreen.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> The all-in-one will come with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse when it debuts in April, and a $50 dock will be an optional accessory. Pricing starts at $900 for a dual-core Pentium ULV and a 320GB hard drive, and the top-of-the-line configuration will offer a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Check out our hands-on photos for a closer look. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09933.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09936.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09939.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09942.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09947.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09951.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09956.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09957.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09959.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="424" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/dsc09960.jpg" width="640" /></div></div>
