Dell XPS 12 Convertible Ultrabook Tablet -Refurbished-$831 + tax FS

Thanks OP! repped!
Grabbed the last one i7-3517U / 128 GB SSD / 8GB with Win 8 Pro, $1,055.20 before tax.
Hope this one is better than Surface Pro.

Wow, this puts the yoga 13 back a bit. Good deal. Thanks

Debated long and hard because xps12 has 1080p screen and backlit keys. However yoga bends is so many positions; I thought it was marketing fluff until I actually bought one. Now I find myself using the yoga in all of it configs, which xps cannot do.
Also xps 12 is ugly in my opinion.

After a little bit of research, here's the rundown for this ultrabook:

Pros:
above average SSD performance (samsung)
Great build-quality
good quality screen (12" 1080p, good viewing angles, 400-nits brightness, Gorilla glass)

Cons:
kind of heavy and thick to use in tablet mode
5 hour battery life (mediocre if not below average), battery probably being raped by the 1080p display.
flaky trackpad

I personally won't get this just because I need at least 7+ hours of battery life for my work, but for this price it's a great deal. I don't really see how you'll use this as a tablet just because it's so thick and heavy. But I would still recommend you to wait until 2nd-gen windows 8 tablets/ultrabooks to mature, more apps and bettery battery life.

it bends? dude, you can probably get a girl for less than what you paid for that thing. some of them can also bend any way you want her to. she may not have an i5 processor but if bending if important...

Did you add anything extra? That should have been $999 before tax.
