Is Intel’s Lunar Lake chip enough to make you forget about the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite?
THE DELL XPS 13 is an old favorite. While its latest minimalist design is something of a divider in terms of aesthetics and keyboard, our high expectations remain. That’s doubly true thanks to its new Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU, otherwise known as Lunar Lake. With the recent Snapdragon X Elite-powered Dell XPS 13 (9345) breaking records for battery life, the question is whether Intel can take the fight to Qualcomm. Let’s find out.
Dell has kept the InfinityEdge bezels and flat keyboard deck of the previous few XPS models for the new Intel Core Ultra 200V-powered XPS 13. That’s either excellent or disappointing, depending on how you’ve felt about the last couple of generations of XPS 13 models.
