Dell XPS 12

The 12.5-in 1080p HD display of the Dell XPS 12 flips around in its frame to transform this 3.35-lb. ultrabook into a tablet with ten-finger touch support. The display, which is made of Gorilla Glass, offers a 160-degree viewing angle. Available with 128GB or 256GB SSD storage, a choice of Core i5 or i7 processors, and 4GB or 8GB of RAM, it's a creative compromise between the notebook and tablet form factors.

Nicest touch: The button on the side lights up an external LED battery meter, so you can tell how much power you've got left without even cracking it open.
