The Dell XPS 13 (9350 & 9345) is available from official distributor DCC Technologies in two processor families – one from Intel and the other from Qualcomm.
Crafted from machined aluminium and Gorilla Glass 3, this is the thinnest XPS from Dell yet, measuring 14,8mm for the OLED model. It starts at just 1,8kg, complete with features such as a platinum backlit keyboard, a seamless glass touchpad and a touch function key row which brings forward only the keys needed.
At the top end, a 13,4-inch edge-to-edge OLED touch-enabled InfinityEdge display with up to 120Hz variable refresh rate offers (up to) 2880 x 1800 resolution.
Intel version has the Core Ultra 7 256V Series 2 chipset. This is part of Intel’s latest processor releases, with eight cores running up to 4.80GHz, complete with Arc Graphics 140V.
The Qualcomm version of the Dell XPS 13 9345 festures the Snapdragon X Elite 12C processor. The Snapdragon version is also Dell’s first Copilot+ XPS machine.
Each version also comes with a dedicated Neural Processing Unit, there to enhance onboard AI tasks such as improved video conferencing abilities and MyDell, the onboard AI-based optimisation software.
Users can choose between either 16GB or 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and options for 512GB or 1TB of SSD storage, meaning multitasking needs never be of concern.
In terms of connectivity options, the minimalist design of the Dell XPS 13 allows for two Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB Type-C) with DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery through each. WiFi 7 is also featured.
A 1080p infrared webcam with temporal noise reduction is designed for online meetings.
The XPS 13 contains a 55Whr integrated battery, alongside ExpressCharge 1.0 capable of charging the laptop up to 80% in only one hour.
