The new Dell XPS 13 comes equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 Elite processor, offering best-in-class AI capabilities in a sleek and stylish chassis.

Dell has embraced the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite platform, offering an XPS laptop plus Inspiron and Latitude notebooks.

Dell is flipping the XPS 13 on its head. In fact, it’s changing up its entire lineup of laptops with the addition of the new Snapdragon X Elite chip, which coincides with Microsoft’s push into the era of AI PCs.

So let’s start with the biggest announcement of the bunch. We absolutely love the Dell XPS 13 (taking the DNA of the XPS 13 Plus ), but the common obstacles of this lineage have been the underwhelming battery life and moments of thermal throttling.

Dell is launching a number of laptops with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite and Plus processors. The new models include the XPS 13, which will launch later this year for the starting price of $1,299.

Dell announced that it’s releasing five Qualcomm-configured laptops: the XPS 13 (9345), Inspiron 14, Inspiron 14 Plus, Latitude 7455, and Latitude 5455. That’s more than any other manufacturer has announced so far.

Dell will be launching the XPS 13 with a Snapdragon X Elite chipset later this year, and its performance could outpace the MacBook Pro M3.
