MagyarDell XPS 13 9345 Snapdragon X Elite review: Undercutting the Intel Core Ultra 7
What better way to show off your processor than to debut it on one of Dell's most popular consumer laptops? The XPS 13 Plus 9320/9340 chassis has been repurposed with the latest Snapdragon X Elite CPU to be amongst the small handful of Qualcomm-powered Windows laptops releasing this year. Called the XPS 13 9345, the Snapdragon model is otherwise visually identical to the existing XPS 13 Plus 9320 or 9340 with traditional Intel CPUs.
Our review configuration comes equipped with the Snapdragon X1 Elite X1E-80-100, 16 GB LPDDR5X-8448 RAM, and 1200p 120 Hz IPS display for approximately $1300 USD. Higher-end OLED panels are available and some regions may include a second Snapdragon X1 Plus X1P processor option, but the integrated GPU remains the same across the board.
Alternatives to the XPS 13 9345 include the Microsoft Surface Pro or Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 both powered by the same Snapdragon X1 Elite X1E-80-100 processor. Of course, it also directly competes with more conventional 13-inch and 14-inch office subnotebooks like the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x G4, Asus ZenBook S13, or Dell's own XPS 13 9340.

Case — Familiar Look And Feel
There are no external differences separating the Qualcomm model from the Intel model and so our comments about the Intel model apply here as well. Some new color options would have been nice, but the the same Platinum and Graphite options apply. We slightly favor the Platinum option as its bright white color obscures fingerprints better than the darker Graphite option of our Qualcomm test unit especially along the palm rests and outer lid.
Connectivity
There are two USB-C 4.0 ports just like on the Intel version of the XPS 13. However, the ports here lack Thunderbolt support and so eGPU compatibility is not guaranteed. When attempting to connect our Aorus RTX 2080 Ti Gaming Box, for example, the Qualcomm laptop would be unable to recognize the eGPU whereas a Thunderbolt-enabled PC would recognize it automatically through Device Manager. Qualcomm has said that any support and applicable drivers would be up to the individual eGPU makers which is not promising for existing eGPU owners.
Communication
Dell has swapped out the BE200 from the Intel XPS 13 for the FastConnect 7800 on the Qualcomm XPS 13. The module supports Wi-Fi 7 connectivity which is still uncommon in most households. Performance is nonetheless stable when paired to our Wi-Fi 6E AXE11000 test router.
Webcam
The model comes standard with the same 2 MP webcam as found on the XPS 13 9340 instead of the 1 MP webcam on the original XPS 13 9320. IR is built-in as well to support Windows Hello facial recognition. However, there is still no camera cover or kill switch to speak of.
Maintenance
The bottom panel requires only a Torx screwdriver to remove. There is otherwise nothing to upgrade beyond the single M.2 SSD as both RAM and WLAN are soldered.
Sustainability
The packaging consists of 75 percent recycled material and 25 percent renewable material to be fully recyclable. Meanwhile, the laptop itself was manufactured with at least 20 percent recycled aluminum and glass.
Accessories And Warranty
There are no extras in the box other than the AC adapter and paperwork whereas the Intel-based XPS models would often include a USB-C to USB-A adapter for free.
The usual one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.
Input Devices — Cleaner Looks At The Expense Of Usability
Keyboard
The zero-lattice keyboard takes some getting used to when compared to the traditional keyboards on most other subnotebooks. Key travel is even shallower than usual at just 1.0 mm and feedback is relatively soft for a spongier typing experience. The difference is night and day when jumping between the XPS 13 9345 and the firmer keys on the HP Spectre x360 14.
The touch-enabled function keys are also a mixed bag. Lenovo implemented something very similar on its ThinkPad series several years ago before promptly dropping it and so it's a bit surprising to see them reappear on a competing manufacturer. The main issue is that the keys are sensitive to even the slightest of touches which can lead to accidental inputs.
Touchpad
The invisible XPS clickpad has become infamous for its user-unfriendliness and the trend continues on the Snapdragon model. While the usable surface area is quite spacious for a 13-inch form factor at approximately 11.5 x 7.5 cm, clicking is unsatisfying due to the weak feedback. Worse, the force required to input a click is much lower than on most other laptops leading to many accidental clicks and drags when you're simple trying to move the cursor. We were hoping for some improvements in this regard after two years with this design, but that is unfortunately not the case.
Display
Three display options are available as follows. Our review configuration comes with the bolded option.
- 1920 x 1200, IPS, 120 Hz, non-touch, matte
- 2560 x 1600, IPS, 120 Hz, touch, glossy
- 2880 x 1800, OLED, 60 Hz, touch, glossy
All indications point to our 120 Hz panel being the exact same panel used for the Intel-based XPS 13. Everything from VRR support down to 30 Hz, the adequate response times, and 500-nit maximum brightness are similar features found on our recent Core Ultra 7 XPS 13 test unit. Most notable is the high contrast ratio of almost 2000:1 compared to 1000:1 on most IPS panels found on other laptops. The displays on XPS models have always been some of the best in class and so even the cheapest IPS option still looks fantastic.
Color coverage is limited to >95% sRGB if configured with the base option while DCI-P3 colors are reserved for the pricier 1600p IPS and 1800p OLED panels. Users may want to disable Adaptive Color to prevent any minute color changes when photo editing.
Something worth mentioning about this panel is its relatively high minimum brightness level of 49 nits which is something we noticed on our Core i7 model as well. In comparison, the displays on most other laptops would typically reach 15 nits or dimmer when on the minimum brightness setting. The higher brightness floor of the Dell may be more likely to cause eyestrain if viewing in dark environments. This potential issue is not present on the OLED configuration which can reach much dimmer brightness levels.

* ... smaller is better
Our X-Rite colorimeter shows the display targeting sRGB with decent average grayscale and color deltaE values of 4.2 and 3.4, respectively. Color temperature, however, is slightly too cool at 7235 which throws off color accuracy at lower saturation levels. It's a shame that Dell doesn't calibrate the panel at factory since most calibration software are not yet compatible with ARM including i1Profiler.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set Windows and MyDell to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below. MyDell has been redesigned on the Snapdragon model to be simpler to use when compared to the same software on the Intel-based XPS 13. Certain features previously found on the software, such as Presence Detection, have been moved to the Windows Power and Battery menu instead.
Processor
Performance depends quite heavily on whether or not the application is native or emulated. For example, the processor excels in CineBench 2024 and GeekBench 6 as both have been optimized for an ARM environment. Our Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 would outperform the Core Ultra 7 155H in both multi-thread and single-thread operations when under such conditions. Otherwise, emulated benchmarks pull back our Snapdragon CPU to performance levels that are more on par with the older Core i5-1240P or Core i7-1260P. In other words, the Qualcomm CPU can be competitive against the Core Ultra 7 155H as the manufacturer likes to claim, but conditions and applications have to be just right for those benefits to unfold.
Performance consistency can also be difficult to measure between Snapdragon CPUs. For our example, our Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 would comfortably outperform the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 in the EliteBook Ultra G1q 14 in CineBench 2024, but the opposite is true in CineBench R23 and R15.

Storage Devices
Dell sources its SSDs from a wide variety of manufacturers and so it's difficult to know what drive you're getting prior to purchasing. For example, we've had drives from Micron, Samsung, WD, Toshiba, and SK Hynix across 10+ different in-house XPS 13 units. Our specific Qualcomm unit ships with the mid-range WD SN740 offering stable transfer rates of up to 5000 MB/s. We can observe no throttling behavior despite the small 42 mm length likely due in part to the included SSD heat spreader.
