Dell at IFA: Windows tablet to 27-inch touchscreen PC

At the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin, Germany, Dell had a few gadgets to announce.

Microsoft may be getting into the tablet market, but Dell isn't deterred. It announced its XPS 10 Windows RT tablet that has, as seems to be the new trend, a detachable keyboard.

Aongus Hegarty, president of Dell Europe, showed off the XPS 10 at a press conference at the IFA show. The tablet runs Windows RT, a variant of the operating system for low-power devices that are built with ARM processors.

Sam Burd, global vice president of Dell PC group, said that the machine uses a Qualcomm processor.

Burd showed off the XPS Duo 12, a convertible laptop-tablet design running Windows 8. The screen can be flipped around within a frame, so it works as either a laptop or a tablet.
