Dell is releasing five Qualcomm Snapdragon laptops this year

On Monday, Dell announced that it’s releasing five Qualcomm-configured laptops: the XPS 13 (9345), Inspiron 14, Inspiron 14 Plus, Latitude 7455, and Latitude 5455. That’s more than any other manufacturer has announced so far.

The new XPS 13 is powered by a midrange 12-core Snapdragon X Elite processor with Dual Core Boost. (There will also be a 10-core X Plus version but only available in China.) The company says it will support up to 64GB of memory, up to 2TB of PCIe SSD storage (with a 4TB option post-launch), and three 13.4-inch display options: a 500-nit 1920 x 1200 non-touch IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate; a 500-nit 2560 x 1600 IPS touch display with HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate; and a 400-nit, 60Hz 2880 x 1800 OLED touch display with HDR.

All three configurations have a 1080p webcam that supports Windows Hello, and USB4 Type-C with DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery. The OLED version will be slightly thinner than the IPS versions, at 0.58 inches compared to 0.60 inches, but all three will weigh the same 2.6 pounds.

The Dell Latitude 7455 will have the same Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus chip options, but both configurations will be available for purchase in the US. This Dell laptop will support up to 32GB of memory, up to 1TB of M.2 2230 SSD storage, and a bunch of ports: two USB4 Type-C, one USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, microSD, audio jack, Windows Hello webcam, plus an optional fingerprint reader and optional external uSIM card tray for 5G connectivity.

There will be one display option — a 14-inch 2650 x 1600 IPS touch display — and both Latitude configurations will weigh 3.17 pounds and be 0.67 inches thick.

Lastly, the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus (7441) will only come with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus processor, 16GB of memory, 512GB / 1TB M.2 SSD storage options, and one display option: a 14-inch 2560 x 1600 IPS non-touch display with a 1080p Windows Hello webcam. Ports include two USB4 Type-C, one USB-A 3.2, one microSD card reader, and a headset jack. It will weigh around 3.17 pounds, depending on the configuration, and will be 0.58 inches thick.

All five laptops (and more details for the ones not covered here) will release later this year, but the XPS 13 and Inspiron 14 Plus are available to preorder now. The XPS 13 starts at $1,299, while the Inspiron 14 Plus starts at $1,099.
