Dell announces XPS Duo 12 convertible laptop for Windows 8 August 30, 2012 - 12:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Dell has announced the XPS Duo 12, a new convertible laptop made for Windows 8. The new Dell XPS Duo 12 is both a clamshell laptop and a tablet - a combination usually referred to as a hybrid or convertible laptop. Most hybrids detach from their keyboards, while convertibles swivel their screens around via a single hinge at the base of the lid, folding down over the keyboard. Like the original Duo, this model works a little differently. The screen is hinged in the center of the far left and right sides, allowing it to swivel vertically, encased in a thin outer frame, CNET reports.
