Dell XPS 13 9345 — Snapdragon X Elite Copilot+ PC with 32GB RAM
The Dell XPS 13 9345 is Dell's flagship 2024 Copilot+ PC, built around Qualcomm's 12-core Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 with a 45-TOPS Hexagon NPU for on-device AI. This configuration pairs 32GB of fast LPDDR5X memory with a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, a 13.4" FHD+ Sharp display at 120Hz, Wi-Fi 7, and Windows 11 Pro on ARM — all in a 1.18 kg machined-aluminium chassis. Backed by Reboot IT's 12-month warranty.
Key Benefits
-
Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 (12-core Oryon): all-performance 12-core ARM v9 CPU, dual-core boost up to 4.0 GHz, 42MB cache — class-leading single-thread responsiveness with exceptional battery efficiency.
-
45-TOPS Hexagon NPU — full Copilot+ PC features: hardware acceleration for Windows Studio Effects, Live Captions, Cocreator and other on-device AI features that aren't available on Intel/AMD machines without a 40+ TOPS NPU.
-
32GB LPDDR5X memory at 8448 MT/s: blistering memory bandwidth shared with the GPU and NPU — smooth multitasking across dozens of browser tabs, Teams, Office and AI workloads.
-
13.4" FHD+ 1920×1200 Sharp IPS display, 30–120Hz adaptive: 500-nit anti-glare panel with 16:10 aspect ratio — extra vertical space for documents, plus smooth 120Hz ProMotion-style scrolling.
-
Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4: Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 delivers next-gen wireless throughput, perfect for high-speed home and office networks.
-
Premium chassis — 1.18 kg, 13.99 mm thin: CNC-machined aluminium unibody, edge-to-edge zero-lattice keyboard, capacitive haptic function row, and a seamless glass-covered touchpad.
Performance in Use
The XPS 13 9345 represents a major architectural shift for Windows laptops. The Snapdragon X Elite's 12 high-performance Oryon cores deliver desktop-class single-threaded speed for web browsing, Office apps and IDE work, while the 45-TOPS Hexagon NPU unlocks Copilot+ PC features — Studio Effects for video calls, Live Captions across any app, and Cocreator in Paint — that Intel and AMD machines without a comparable NPU simply cannot run.
Most modern apps now have native ARM64 builds — Microsoft Office, Edge, Chrome, Teams, Spotify, Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Visual Studio all run natively. For x86-only software, Microsoft's Prism emulator handles legacy apps smoothly for everyday office and business workflows. The 32GB unified memory means you'll never run out of headroom for browser tabs, virtualisation, or large datasets.
The headline feature is battery life. Apple-silicon-style efficiency from the ARM architecture means the XPS 13 9345 routinely delivers 14–18 hours of real-world mixed use, and well beyond 20 hours for pure video playback — numbers no Intel or AMD ultraportable matches. Combined with the gorgeous 120Hz Sharp display, premium aluminium chassis, and Wi-Fi 7, it's a compelling premium ultrabook for buyers ready to embrace ARM Windows.

Is It Right For You?
✓ Best for Professionals who want all-day battery life and silent fan-light performance; users who want full Copilot+ PC AI features (Studio Effects, Live Captions, Cocreator); developers running ARM-native toolchains; travellers who value premium build quality and a stunning 120Hz 16:10 display; anyone whose workflow is web, Office, Teams, Photoshop and Adobe Creative Cloud (all native ARM64). |
✗ Not for Gamers (Adreno X1 is no match for a discrete GPU and many anti-cheat games don't support ARM); users needing legacy x86 enterprise software that hasn't been validated under Prism emulation; anyone needing USB-A or HDMI without a dongle; users wanting more than 256GB internal storage without external Thunderbolt drives; people uncomfortable with ARM Windows as a platform. |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Copilot+ PC and why does it matter?
Copilot+ PCs are a new class of Windows machines with a dedicated NPU rated above 40 TOPS. They unlock Microsoft AI features that simply don't run on older Intel/AMD laptops: Windows Studio Effects (background blur, auto-framing, eye contact in any video app), Live Captions across the OS, Cocreator generative AI in Paint, and an upcoming Recall feature. The Snapdragon X Elite's 45-TOPS Hexagon NPU comfortably exceeds the certification threshold.
Will my Windows apps work on ARM?
Most modern apps now have native ARM64 builds — Office, Edge, Chrome, Teams, Slack, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, Spotify, Zoom, and Visual Studio all run natively. For legacy x86 apps, Microsoft's Prism emulator handles them smoothly for office and business workflows. Heavy professional software (Adobe Premiere Pro full feature set, some pro audio, certain enterprise apps with hardware-locked DRM, and most anti-cheat games) may not run or perform poorly.
Can I run games on it?
Light and indie games run well via emulation, but the XPS 13 9345 is not a gaming machine — the Adreno X1 GPU is best for casual gaming, productivity workloads and AI acceleration, not modern AAA titles. Many competitive games with anti-cheat (Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends) currently do not support ARM Windows.
Can the RAM or SSD be upgraded?
No on RAM — the 32GB LPDDR5X is integrated into the Snapdragon X Elite package for maximum bandwidth and minimum power. The 256GB M.2 2230 SSD is removable and can be upgraded to a higher-capacity 2230-form-factor NVMe drive by a competent technician.
Is the Windows 11 Pro licence genuine?
Yes — every unit ships with a digitally activated genuine Windows 11 Pro ARM licence tied to the motherboard. No product key sticker is required.
What's included in the box?
The laptop only. A compatible USB-C 60W+ Power Delivery adapter is required for charging — any standard USB-C PD charger of 60W or higher will work, and adapters are available separately if you need one.
What about shipping and returns?
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on size and destination — the XPS 13 9345 ships insured with tracking. 14-day change-of-mind returns are accepted on unmarked units. Standard 12-month Reboot IT warranty covers any hardware faults.
12-Month Reboot IT Warranty. Every laptop is fully tested, professionally cleaned and the latest Windows 11 Pro ARM updates installed before dispatch. If anything fails within the warranty period we'll repair or replace it. Battery cells carry a separate 30-day warranty. Shipping rates calculated at checkout.
