Dell previously had a 27-inch all-in-one XPS, but this new model brings a couple of new tricks to the party. Firstly, it has a touchscreen, built specifically for Windows 8.
And secondly, there's a new tilt stand meaning it can be used at varying angles from upright to pretty much flat.
It's a real powerhouse of a machine, featuring an as yet unspecified Intel Core i7 processor, though we'd suspect it's the 3.10GHz i7-3770s inside the current XPS One 27. You probably don't get the screen wipes you can see in the picture above!
The unit comes complete with a wireless keyboard, but no mouse.
The display has a whopping 2,560 X 1,440 resolution, meaning there are 3.7 million pixels in the highly impressive panel, though it's still some way off the 2,880 x,1,800 resolution of the MacBook Air retina display. The touchscreen features 10 finger capacitive touch technology.
Also expect other specs to be similar to the current XPS One 27, which has 8GB of memory, a huge 2TB of storage (with a 32GB SSD for rapid start) and a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GT 640M.
The above is the slider cover for the webcam, but it shows the attention to design Dell now makes. There's a full array of ports as you'd expect as well as a Blu ray Combo drive.
The design follows on from other XPS systems, with a smart grey and black chassis. Note that we can see Windows 7 stickers here - a bit strange as we know this model will ship with Windows 8 as standard.
There's the eject button for the optical drive on the bottom right, too.
We were quite interested by how the Windows 8 charm bar looked on screen; it's bigger than you'd get on a notebook, but still seemed quite small for the large screen. When you're dealing with such a big device, the targets seem quite small.
The Dell XPS One 27 Touch UK and US release date is set for late October to coincide with the launch of Windows 8.
