Dell starts selling its XPS 10 Windows RT tablet with an optional LTE radio
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe FCC told us that an LTE ready version of the Dell XPS 10 was coming, but there’s nothing like official confirmation. In any case, it’s here, and it runs on AT&T. Dell officially announced the variant’s availability on its blog, identifying the radio the feds uncovered as a Qualcomm Gobi modem, a natural fit for the tablet’s 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU. The LTE option is only available for the device’s 64GB configuration, and adds $100 to the price. Hey, nobody said getting LTE on your Windows RT tablet was cheap.

Dell XPS 10 hits the FCC
Posted in: Today's ChiliWhenever a particular device or consumer electronics arrive at the FCC, you know for sure that it is being primed for a general release to the masses, and the same can be said for the Dell XPS 10. Having arrived at the doorsteps of the FCC today, complete with its user manual as well as photos of the 10” tablet’s case and internal components, we do look forward to the day where the Dell XPS 10’s product page appears for the masses to take advantage of – after parting with their fair share of dollars and cents, of course.
For starters, the Dell XPS 10 is a 10” tablet that will carry a 1366 x 768 pixel display, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, have up to 64GB RAM, sports both front and rear cameras, has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It will run on the Windows RT platform, which is actually Windows 8 for devices that have ARM-based processors underneath the hood, so kiss goodbye to backwards compatibility of older apps which run on Windows 7 and before.

Dell begins accepting orders for its XPS 10 tablet running Windows RT, prices start at $499 (updated)
Posted in: Today's ChiliSurface isn’t the only Windows RT tablet going on sale this week: Dell’s XPS 10 officially starts sales on Friday, though it’s actually for purchase now on Dell’s site. (It won’t ship until mid-December, so don’t get too excited.) The tablet starts at $500 for the 32GB tablet by itself, which is right in line with Microsoft’s Surface pricing. The 64GB model is priced at $600. Interested in that optional keyboard dock? (Of course you are!) Dell is selling two bundles: one with the 32GB tablet for $680, and another with the 64GB one for $780. Though the keyboard comes at a premium, especially compared to Microsoft’s Touch Covers, it offers some things Microsoft doesn’t — namely, a USB port, HDMI output and a built-in battery. Whichever model you choose, the XPS 10 has a 10.1-inch screen with 1,366 x 768 resolution and a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. While it has 10 point multitouch support on that IPS LCD, there won’t be any kind of active pen or stylus tech built in. Hit up the source link for more info, and check out our fresh round of hands-on shots below.
Update: As some of you have pointed out, that $499 starting price includes a one-year service plan, valued at $100. You can opt out of this plan and get the standalone tablet for $399.
Update 2: We’ve been in contact with Dell about some errors that apparently slipped through to their sales page, and have updated the specs above for the CPU, input support and warranty information. That $499 price will stick, as the warranty cannot be deselected.

The world of tablets has just gotten a little bit larger with the introduction of the Dell XPS 10, where this particular tablet brings together the world of work and play. Sporting intuitive touch capability, a long battery life as well as a mobile keyboard dock, you will find that the ARM processor that runs underneath the hood in tandem with Microsoft’s Windows RT operating system not fall short of your expectations, allowing businesses to manage and secure the XPS 10 on their networks without missing a beat. There is no word for pricing on the Dell XPS 10 as at press time, but we do know that it will arrive when Windows 8 hits the market at the end of October. That would mean a two month wait at best, but since we’ve already waited so long thus far, what is another quarter of patience? It is rather difficult to see the Dell XPS 10 challenge other more established names in the tablet market though, especially when you have Microsoft’s own Surface tablet entering the fray as well.
