In the ever-evolving landscape of laptops, there are a few lineups that have stood the test of time and managed to gain a cult-like status amongst critics and users alike. The Dell XPS series is one such name. The series is known for being one of the most premium Windows-powered devices that users can buy. With the new Dell XPS 13 9345, the brand is continuing that trend.
However, there is one thing that makes this particular laptop different from those that have come before. It is the first Copilot+ XPS laptop in the XPS lineup. Copilot+ PCs are described as the fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever built. And at the heart of it is the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s take a step back and take a look at what makes the Dell XPS 13 9345 the ultimate AI-infused premium laptop.
Copilot+: Changing your expectations
Copilot+ can be described as a term that encompasses laptops that offer a wide range of AI-based features that can run locally instead of on the cloud. This helps unlock a range of features and capabilities that were previously unheard of on laptops. For example, on a Copilot+ PC, the classic Paint application that we are all familiar with has been supercharged to a whole new level! With Cocreator on Paint, users will be able to use AI to create art. They can either doodle on the canvas and have AI automatically translate that into art live, or they can write out a description of an image, and AI will be able to create an image based on the description. The creative potential of this is limitless. Aside from this, users also get access to advanced Windows Studio Effects, such as background blur and automatic framing, that they can use during their next video conference calls. Further, Copilot+ PCs can also access advanced AI features on apps like Adobe Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Cephable and more!
Whether you’re multitasking, working on complex projects, or simply navigating through apps, Copilot+ PCs like the Dell XPS 13 9345 are more than just a regular laptop.
What makes these laptops so special is their ability to handle this level of AI locally, which neatly brings us to the processor that powers them.
Power-packed performance
Traditional cloud-based AI uses online servers to help with complicated and resource-intensive AI workloads. While this means that pretty much any laptop can access these features, there are a few drawbacks, the most prominent being that the laptop will need to be constantly online in order to use those features. Handling these tasks locally not only removes the need for a constant internet connection but also helps speed up the process and adds another layer of security and privacy.
Laptops need a very powerful processor to handle such complicated AI-based tasks locally. The Dell XPS 13 9345 packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. This processor is based on a 4nm process and features 12 Qualcomm Oryon cores for blazing-fast speeds. Meanwhile, a very capable Qualcomm Adreno GPU handles graphical duties.
What really sets the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor apart from older processors is the inclusion of a Neural Processing Unit (NPU). The Qualcomm Hexagon NPU aids the CPU and GPU when it comes to AI-based tasks, which in turn helps improve overall performance. Thanks to this NPU, the Snapdragon X Elite is capable of running generative AI LLM models with over 13 billion parameters on-device with impressively fast speeds. Further, the AI-oriented chip improves power efficiency, extends battery life, emits less heat and runs quietly. This means that the Dell XPS 13 9345 is faster, quieter, longer lasting and cooler than most of its peers.
Premium build and display
With so much hardware on offer, one would assume that the Dell XPS 13 9345 would be a big and bulky laptop. But that’s not how the Dell XPS series works. The laptop features a sleek and slim chassis that should turn heads whenever it’s taken out. Crafted with a CNC-milled aluminum chassis, the laptop exudes elegance and sophistication while remaining durable and lightweight. The whole laptop weighs just 1.18kg and is 15.3mm thick. This ultra-thin profile and sleek edge not only make it visually striking but also highly portable. This means that it is perfect for users who are constantly on the go.
This attention to design continues when the lid is opened. The Dell XPS 13 9345 packs a 13.4-inch 3K OLED panel. OLED panels are known for offering more vibrant colours and deeper blacks than traditional LCD panels. So, users should have a more enjoyable viewing experience when consuming content.
Bottomline
As it should be clear by now, the Dell XPS 13 9345 is more than just a laptop. It’s a glimpse into the future and a testament to what’s possible when cutting-edge technology meets luxurious design. Whether you’re a content creator, business professional, or tech enthusiast, the XPS 13 9345 stands as the ultimate AI laptop that is crafted for those who demand the best and is designed to elevate your digital experience to new heights.
