Consumer sales dropped 22 percent last quarter. Despite all of this, it looks like the upcoming release of Windows 8 has given the company some energy: here at IFA Dell has unveiled its primary converged devices for the new operating system: the XPS Duo 12 and the XPS 10.

Dell has announced the XPS Duo 12, a new convertible ultrabook made for Windows 8. It features a 12.5-inch, "Full HD" (we assume 1920 x 1080 pixels) touchscreen with edge-to-edge Coring Gorilla Glass, and is powered by Intel hardware - up to Core i7.
