Dell VP says forthcoming XPS 11 will be a Yoga-style hybrid

Dell VP says forthcoming XPS 11 will be a Yogastyle hybrid

It's Computex week, which means the technology world is ready to talk up the PCs it'll be pushing out between now and January. Dell's Kirk Schell has let it slip that the company will be beefing up its mobile offerings with an 11.6-inch laptop that should arrive in time for the holidays. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Dell XPS 11 will come with a high-definition display that can be folded backwards to use as a tablet -- which would have been exciting, but for the fact Lenovo got there first.

Eric Larson2013-04-15 10:24:43 -0400

The droll indie flick Napoleon Dynamite did more than show us how impressively Idahoans can dance — it introduced us to the liger.

Bred for its skills and magic, the majestic tiger-lion combo proved that anything is possible with a little imagination. And, maybe, a little Photoshop too.
