Dell's new XPS 18 has an 18.4-inch full HD capacitive touch display, and according to the company is its thinnest, lightest and most portable all-in-one.

Starting at just 4.85 lbs. with an optional SSD drive, the XPS 18 is less than half the weight of other portable AIOs and has nearly double the battery life, offering up to five hours of run time between charges, the company says. The 18.4-inch touchscreen is more than three times the screen size of the Apple iPad (nearly twice the diagonal). It is based on third-generation Intel Core processors and the Windows 8 operating system.

The unit features an aluminum back finish with soft grip for traction. It comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse, and can be used on an optional powered stand for walk-up computing; on any flat surface using the built-in flip-out feet; laid flat for sharing; or held on a lap for reading and browsing.

The Dell Wyse PocketCloud application is pre-installed.
