With Windows 8, which is also compatible with tablets, most of the makers are more or less willing to develop convertible laptops. All ultrabooks with Windows 8 share the same specification at press time, every Ultrabook featured the same base processor - hardware and design will be the differentiating factor for the next half year, and possibly longer. That means aesthetics, batteries, input device, and other intangibles will matter more than anything else.
If you see overall, its a great ultrabook with all the features in it a buyer needs, but if you don't want ultra-convertible laptops, then you want to consider others out there in the market.

Conclusion: 
The XPS 12 Convertible's build and specs definitely seem impressive, but I have a doubt spending Rs.91000 on it!The Dell XPS 12 convertible provides  an Ultrabook specs and performance with Tablet functionality. Although you can use touch screen with keyboard and touch pad works well in Windows 8. It's really hard spending too hefty amount, when it doesn't satisfy as a slate-style tablet. If you're in love with the design, I'd suggest considering other options too, which actually doesn't carry heavy amount tag with them.
