Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the XPS 12 Convertible computer! I do not really see a way to use the keyboard with the screen flipped, since when it is in "tablet" form, the screen covers the keyboard. Besides that, when the screen gets flipped out of its normal "laptop" position, the keys and touchpad are automatically disabled. I do not know of any way around this process at this point. My only suggestion might be the Dell Latitude 10 Tablet + the Kensington KeyFolio Bluetooth® Keyboard and Case.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the XPS 12 convertible ultrabook! It is true that the XPS 12 was recently updated with Intel 4th Gen processor options on Dell's website. It takes a small bit of time for sites like Best Buy to acquire the latest laptops from us, so I would expect you to see 4th Gen versions here soon!

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Dell does provide some international warranty assistance. A few points of interest:

There are 2 different scenarios here that you will want to look into: traveling and permanently moving.

1) Traveling - If you will just be traveling for a period of less than 6 months, the Dell International Services Program offers the security of knowing you can receive service and support when you travel with your Dell laptop outside your home country.

To qualify for international service, you must purchase at-least the Next Business Day On-site Response Service. I do not know the exact cost of this service plan.

Learn More:

(also check out the Warranty Information options on the left menu)

2) Permanently Moving - If you purchase your Dell system in one region and move it to another, the hardware warranty will carry over; however it is limited to parts availability in the region in which you are moving it to. Complete Care/Accidental Damage does not carry over.

A good idea is also to take a look at the Dell website for the region you are moving to and compare it to the system you are interested in here. You will want to compare your configuration with what is available in that region. If there are differences, you may run into parts availability issues.

Finally, you will want to complete an International Ownership Transfer Form anytime the system is moved permanently to a new region:

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the Dell XPS 12 Convertible! Yes, since this Ultrabook runs Windows 8 64-bit, you can install any Quickbooks version that also runs on Windows 8 64-bit. This laptop has 4GB of memory, which should be just fine to install and run Quickbooks. Just remember that this Ultrabook does not come with an internal CD/DVD player. Make sure that your Quickbooks software can be downloaded from the internet, transferred via USB Key or attach up an external CD player.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in the XPS 12 Ultrabook! As it turns out, the only Dell systems available here on Best Buy are the ones that are on the site currently for sale. Changes to the configuration are not possible before purchase, since these systems have been pre-assembled when Best Buy ordered them. I do not control what they purchase from Dell to be offered here on Best Buy, so the best bet is to keep checking back here to see if they have something configured the way you want.

Hope this helps!
