Dell's premium XPS series of laptops has seen a significant overhaul in recent years, starting with the Dell XPS 13 Plus and running through the entire range. While Dell is now moving forward, there's still plenty to like about the Dell XPS 13 9345 (2024), which is the last model before we see the sleek “Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max” devices.
Our review configuration included powerful Qualcomm components housed in a sleek chassis with a spacious keyboard and edge-to-edge touchpad. As with all XPS devices, the bezels around the display are very thin, though we’ll be testing the standard FHD+ IPS display closely to see if this base configuration is worth investing in — or if upgrading to OLED is a better option.
