Dell XPS 13 9345 – Snapdragon X Elite, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 13.4-inch FHD+

For buyers who want the maximum battery life and everyday practicality out of the XPS 13 line rather than a premium display upgrade, this configuration is the sensible pick. It’s built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) processor, a 12-core ARM chip with a dual-core boost of up to 4.0GHz and a 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU for on-device Copilot+ AI features. This unit steps up from the base 16GB/512GB model to 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD, giving it real headroom for heavier multitasking and larger local file libraries. Rather than the OLED or QHD+ touch panels offered on pricier configurations, this model keeps the 13.4-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) non-touch IPS display, which runs at a 30-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, hits 500 nits of brightness, and covers 100% of the sRGB colour gamut — plenty for office work, browsing, and streaming, and notably brighter than the OLED variant’s 400 nits. Weighing just 1.19kg, it remains one of the lightest 13-inch business laptops available, and Dell rates it for up to 27 hours of battery life.
