For $1,100, you can outfit the Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 with a 12-core Snapdragon X Elite X1E-80-100 processor and a 1TB SSD. At the time of this review, the Snapdragon X Elite model was $200 off and selling for $900 at Dell.

Dell has announced the XPS 13 with the new Intel CPU, and now they've announced a new Snapdragon X Plus duo in Latitude and Inspiron.

Dell revealed details for new models in its Inspiron and Latitude laptop lines at IFA 2024. Both new machines will have Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Plus processors.

Using a similar "Tandem OLED" technology to the iPad Pro, the 2024 Dell XPS 13 is brighter, but keeps the divisive capacitive function row.

XPS 13 with Intel’s Lunar Lake chips has a new, brighter tandem OLED display. For cheaper, look for the new Inspiron 14 and Laitude 5455.

When I first booted up the new Dell XPS 13, I was impressed. Not necessarily because it does anything spectacular upon launch, but because it runs the full Windows 11 experience on a mobile processor.
