Dell XPS 13 refreshed with Intel Lunar Lake CPUs

Earlier this year, Dell refreshed its flagship XPS laptop with a Snapdragon X Elite CPU. While it fared well in our in-depth review, it didn't sell nearly as well as Dell hope. Now, you can buy a new version with Intel's Lunar Lake CPUs which should address a major issue with Qualcomm's offerings- app support.

The new Dell XPS 13 (XPS 9350) comes with a wide range of Lunar Lake CPUs including the Core Ultra 9 288V, Core Ultra 7 268V, Core Ultra 7 258V, Core Ultra 7 256V and Core Ultra 5 226V.  You get 32 GB of RAM on the CPUs that end with '8' and 16 GB on ones that end with '6'. You can pair it with up to a 2 TB NVMe SSD; a 4 TB version will be available later this year. You can pick between three screen configurations for the Dell XPS 13's 13.4-inch screen.

1. FHD+ (1,920 x 1,200), IPS LCD, 120 Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, 100% sRGB coverage.
   
2. QHD+ (2,560 x 1,600), IPS LCD, 120 Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage.
3. QHD+ (2,560 x 1,660), OLED, 60 Hz refresh rate, 400 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, VESA DisplayHDR 500 support, Corning Gorilla Glass protection
   

For the GPU, you get an Intel Arc 140V with the Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 9 SKUs and an Arc 130V with the Core Ultra 5. Other Dell XPS 13 specs include two Thunderbolt 4.0 ports, a 1080p webcam (no privacy shutter) with Windows Hello support, a 55 Wh battery that charges at 55 Watts, quad speakers (2 Watt x4), Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3. You can order it now starting at $1,400 for the base variant.
