A few weeks ago I received a Dell XPS 12 from Dell for review to share with all of you. I’m just now able to share with you my initial thoughts with you. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. I have been working with the kids to finish school. I traveled to Florida for the Zootopia event then came home to a nasty cold was flat on my back for two days then we moved. So while I as sick I had to throw clothing into bags and make sure the kids had some toys and off we went to Oregon. The good thing about all this though was that the Dell XPS was with me through it all.
While I was in Florida I was able to unbox the Dell XPS 12 and create a video of myself doing it. Here’s that video…..
So I made this video over a week ago but while I was at the mercy of the Hotel’s slow upload speed and couldn’t upload it until I got home. Phew!!!
Setting up the Dell XPS was a cinch. I had this thing up and running in less than five minutes and that was with the slow hotel connection.
My initial impressions without even looking at tech specks because we will be sure to do that in a post later this week or early next week.
The Dell XPS is very responsive
The screen is very well lit and the resolution is fine.
It’s a well built sturdy machine. It’s heavier than my Microsoft Surface which is one of the reasons it feel sturdier. The keyboard is well built seems like it would last a while.
I love all the accessories that they included for me.
The Pen
The backpack (which wasn’t included in the video)
USB-C to HDMI/VGA/USB 3.0 Adapter (which my techy husband says is the best out there
I can’t wait to delve deeper into this machine and let you know what all I love about it. I think the next thing is going to be all about how well it travels. I mean I traveled to Florida and back and then down to Oregon and I’m writing this on it now so yeah, it’s fantastic.

I can’t wait to hear more about what you think of this. I recently got a new Dell and so far so good.
Everyone in my family owns a dell. Except me. I’m the odd man out.
I’ve been working from my phone for months now after my toddler spilled water all over my MacBook. Saving up to see what laptop would work best: another MacBook, or another, more cheaper option.
Please let us know whether or not you can do a lot with it. I’m always designing things on my blog and for social promo, so it would be nice to get an idea of what I can and can’t do on this machine.
I’ve been looking into getting a new computer. This one looks nice!

This looks like a good little laptop. I like that you said it feels sturdy.
This sounds like a great little laptop. Thanks so much for sharing it. We could use another one.
This looks like great laptop. This would be perfect for my husband, he needs a new one. My son loves his Dell laptop.
We have been trying to decide on a new laptop for our girls who are in middle school. This would be a great option.
So far this sounds like a nice laptop. I may have to get a new laptop for traveling.
The Dell XPS looks like a great option for me. I need to get a new laptop soon. I will have to check this one out in the store.
I am in need of a new laptop badly. I have an hp right now and it’s awful, but every dell I’ve owned or used has been amazing. This looks great!
I need a new laptop. Mine is ridiculously hard to get on and always has been. I sent it in for repair and it came back still not fixed. phft
So glad to know your first impressions about this Dell, and I think this would be perfect for me I travel a lot and this one could help me to access my job.
I would love to trade in my computer for a lap top! Dell would probably be the one
I recognize Dell as a reliable company. I can safely assume that your first impressions would be like mine.
This looks like a pretty cool new dell for you! I am curious how this works out for you in a few months. I would love to read an update later on too!
I think having a pen for a tablet is a must – I don’t know what I would do without some sort of stylus to make life easier on a responsive screen. I like the added prop-up that the Dell XPS comes with.
The computer looks super slim and great for travel! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the specs
Im an Apple girl actually but I heard Dells were cool. I am not in the market to get a new computer but great highlights of this product.
I LOVE my Dell XPS 🙂 It’s about 5 years old, and they are built so well that they last a long time. I even dropped this one (don’t try this at home) fairly badly, and it bounced back. I totally recommend the XPS 🙂
I really like the look of this Dell. It looks like it would be perfect to stash in my bag and use on the go.
I am in the market for a new computer/tablet THis looks like a great choice for me.
