Answers
A:
You can set the display to turn off after any interval one minute or greater just as on any Windows 8 laptop. Music will continue to play with the screen off unless you have also set the option in the power plan to allow the device to sleep while playing media.by

Hello,Thank you for your interest in the XPS 12 Ultrabook. As it turns out, there is not a stand-by like button that instantly turns off the screen while keeping the programs running (music playback for example). In tablet mode, pressing the power button puts the XPS 12 is standby mode, so you can’t really wake it up instantaneously.
Hope this helps!

Q:
The specifications on the windows site States that the Dell has 500 GB but on best buy website it says 128GB...which one is right?by

Answers
A:
Dell probably has a 500 Gb version however the one I got ifrom BB is 128 GB The difference here is that it is a solid state drive (SSD) (think of it like a thumb/flash drive) and doesn't have the moving parts, spinning head, etc so they say it helps with battery life etc. I'm quite pleased with mine.by

Hello,Thank you for your interest in the XPS 12 Ultrabook! The XPS 12 currently ships with either a 128GB or 256GB SSD storage capacity. I do not know which windows website says that it has a 500GB drive but I know that this particular XPS 12 build comes with a 128GB SSD.
Hope this helps!

Hello,Thank you for your interest in the XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook! As it turns out, the base of the laptop can also serve as a built-in adjustable stand for the screen. Hence, moving the screen out of its standard “laptop” position immediately disables the keyboard and trackpad, preventing accidental input.
Hope this helps!

A:
Yes. It does have an HDMI port (it's a mini-port), but HDMI nonetheless. Its on the right side of the XPS b/t the power port and the usb ports. Also, what I bought was the net gear push2TV adapter, which basically pushes what I'm seeing on my laptop to my HDTV. It does this wirelessly using INTELWIDI, which comes preinstalled on the XPS. The netgear thing-amajiggy is this tiny black box that you connect to the back of your tv with an HDMI cable. Then you pair with device through your XPS screen. A little tricky at first, but cool.by

Yes, you are able to turn off the backlighting on this Dell XPS Ultrabook. It won't make a very large difference in the battery life, but it will give an extra few minutes depending on the power setting.by
