For a while, we thought that the 20-Inch 4K UHD tablet from Panasonic would be just a lone oddity, but then ASUS revealed the Transformer AiO and now Dell is preparing the XPS 18 All-In-One.

The 20-inch 4K UHD tablet is exactly what it says on the tin: a 20-inch all-in-one that is actually an all-in-one shaped like a tablet.

The ASUS Transformer AiO is a bit weirder. Basically an ARM-power Android tablet that shuts down its own hardware and uses the dock's Intel-centric PC parts when connected. A bizarre thing, to be sure.

Dell is following in the footsteps of Panasonic, having created an 18-inch tablet that also behaves like a desktop when needed: XPS 18.

It measures 18 inches in diagonal (obviously) and weighs under 5 pounds / 2.26 kilograms, but this is the full extent of what we know about it. Hardware, pricing and availability details are forthcoming.
