Dell XPS 13 9345 Snapdragon X Elite Review

For 2024 you now have a choice between the Intel and this version of the Dell XPS 13 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite ARM-based processor for longer battery life and cooler, quieter temperatures. This is a CoPilot+ PC with a 45 TOPs NPU and it’s available with an array of IPS and OLED 13.4” displays in a 16:10 aspect ratio. You can get it with up to 64GB RAM and a 2TB SSD. As ever, the XPS 13 is one of the smallest and lightest Windows 11 laptops on the market.

I just came to see the t-shirt. Not disappointed.

No ads. No sponsors. Minimal plugs. This is real YouTube.

Every once in a while when im looking for a new product i always end up finding your videos. They are my preference. I like the way you present the information and ive learned to trust your opinion. Thank you for always being here for us!

[ekaputra]

I love you Lisa, ive watch your videos for years as my goto review preference, keep on posting 🎉

So happy we finally get snapdragon around.
Haven't been tempted to make an unnecessary "upgrade" for years... but now I gotta say I am.

I was in the focus group for the trackpad for this machine and the group overwhelmingly said the huge trackpad was weird that there wasn't an indication of where to touch but it seems Dell didn't care lol

Saw this laptop in person and simply stunning.

Due to new engineering spec.s SOP lap top surface temp is not to reach 45 degree C - and if you record the surface temps - they now are always in the 43 to 44 degree C range, so a trick for a small noticeable gain - measurable - is to put a dual fan lap top cooler under it (any new laptop really should work for) and you will get a performance increase. A video of some people doing this with testing - originating with putting their laptops in a freezer for ten minutes (not recommended, but done to prove a point), the end point being that the extra cooling improved efficiency. The gains where barely double digits, still, if your plugged in, slugging away at some intensive stuff - it helps speeding things along. Also - your doing great on this stuff - keep up the good work and thank you.

It honestly looks stunning. It’s not trying to be a Mac.

I know people are bashing the keyboard but it’s purposefully designed. If I want physical keys I’ll jump on my mechanical keyboard on my desktop.

Same with ports… it’s a compact mobile laptop, I don’t need to plug anything into it. That’s reserved for my mobile workstation or desktop.

[Photoandcargeek]

Little corrective point, little size means issues exhausting heat, not increased heat production. Otherwise, probably the future, I am more of a 14" for mobile and 15" for mixed mobile and worktop replacement but other than that, 13" is amazing to travel light.

The Lenovo 13x is about the same size, but the keyboard is much better. It also has a haptic touchpad.

[michaelmajano]

It seems notification on your YT channel is now working. Yay :)

[Hopefuy]

That keyboard though 🥺 yeah, it looks aesthetically nice I guess but I can only imagine is a usability nightmare i.e. not being able to intuitively feel your way around the keys - and good luck too with keeping dirt and dust etc. free from those gaps, they look just the right width to trap debris but way too small to be able to clean them properly when that does happen. Nope!...

Keypad issue and soldered memory ....Sorry no. Good review Lisa !

[schlickit]

Once you use an arm laptop you’ll never go back. It’s the experience a laptop has always meant to be. I remember Lisa praising 6-7hr battery life, which seems absurd now

[ShainAndrews]

Like the small foot print. Not sure about the track pad. The capacitive keys are probably a deal breaker. I frequent the top row... Pretty sure I need the touch feedback loop.

[elliottmcollins]

The touchbar is actually pretty nice for me because I finally know whether I've got fn-lock on so I dont accidentally shut off Wi-Fi when I'm trying to hit F11 or open a help menu when I urgently needed to hit mute.

Will you be reviewing the XPS 13 lunar lake? There two chips variations but no one has done a review yet

[mrgrumpy]

The XPS line is in its "Macbook 2016-2019" era.

Please include reference benchmarks also. Makes it easier to understand the true capability
