@@andrewmarcdavid Sure, he was uninformed, but it's not professional to go off insulting and name calling him. Ironically, you're the one "looking stupid" with that reaction. You're the reviewer and supposed professional; explain his error and be better. You could instead have answered why you didn't include a battery life comparison of the latest competitive MacBook. I'm not a regular watcher nor subscriber, but based off this interaction I'm inclined to watch reviews elsewhere.
The Snapdragon and Intel version each has it's advantages and disadvantages. Choose the 9345 Snapdragon version if you want off the charts battery life and low fan noise and the 9340 Intel version if you want compatibility and better graphics but with a shorter battery life and more fan noise. The lack of available ports on both versions of the 2024 Dell XPS 13 as well as any dongles in the box is a definite bummer! Thank you once again Andrew for your stellar review!! 👍😁
thanks sir, for this one, this solves a lot of doubts about the machinery, and you greatly bring out the most important critique out of them, the one that nobody has been talking about till now, that is practical usage experience, the points you touch about the haptics, the touchpad and very particularly the capacitive row, some like the look, some don't but you said it "it works.." and that thing does it.
@@mountainclimbr Testing unoptimized software on Windows ARM64 platform does not make sense. Notwithstanding, ARM64 has been beating x86 chips in many occasions.
New XPS 13 now comes with Core Ultra Series 2. The XPS 13 has a really unique thing as to where the design is completely the same for Core Ultra 200V, Core Ultra 100 Series, Snapdragon, and the Core i7, 12th and 13th Gen.
Excited to see where the Snapdragon X Elites will be in 6-12 months time once more compatibility issues are resolved. This feels like the next generation in PC devices!
Nice devices, but I'll keep my Microsoft Surface Laptop 7. Waiting to see someone offer a 2-in-1 configured with the Snapdragon SoC (Other than the Microsoft Surface Pro). May also wait to see if a 2-in-1 sporting the new AMD Zen 5 becomes available. Imagine a 3K Lenovo Yoga, 2-in-1, with stylus and an 84-100 snapdragon and 70Wh battery. That would be something to see.
I just purchased the 9345, need a travel machine for trading, cybersecurity stuff, linux and some development activity. My biggest concern is testing my trading software which is traditionally needs x86 ( reason Im leaving mac) Tradingview Desktop, Quantower (tested, no issues), ninjatrader is in progress. 32GB/ 1TB non-touch ($1100 on sale) only 2 days in, but the performance is great so far, no compatiability issues with ARM, and I dont believe I havent plugged it in yet. I love this thing. BATTERY BATTERY BATTERY.
Over a year ago, I bought the XPS 13, but I had to return it because after 30 minutes of use, the surface got too hot and heated my palms to the point that it became uncomfortable. Have you noticed if that happens in this new version? Thanks.
I use Ubuntu so I went with the 9340 with FHD+ panel, battery is really good, over 10-12 hours of a full college day. The 9340 version is the only model certified by Ubuntu also.
Hi Andrew! Thanks for the in-depth reviews as always. I'm currently trying to decide between the Dell XPS 2024 models with the Snapdragon and Intel processors, specifically for heavy Excel usage. Excel is critical for my work, especially with large datasets and complex formulas, so processing speed and efficiency are key. Could you possibly share some insights or even a demo on how these two devices compare in handling intensive Excel tasks? It would be incredibly helpful in making my decision. Keep up the great work!
Hi Andrew! Love your reviews, have been watching them for over a year now. Is it possible for you to review yoga pro 7 in the future? I am stuck on making buying between Zenbook 14 (AMD), Yoga Slim 7i, Yoga Pro 7 (AMD), and Dell XPS 13 intel (not the model showcased on this video). All of them are around 800$-1100$ and I would like to hear your recommendation despite watching all of the videos you have made prior.
How in the world does the XPS 9345 get more than double the battery life of the Surface Pro 11 even though they're running the same chip and with similar battery sizes? That's phenomenal engineering by Dell.
@ehtasam2080 the Surface Laptop 7 13" also shows much longer battery life compared to the OLED Surface Pro 11. I think it's a combination of using a lower resolution screen and LCD that leads to higher efficiency. The processors are the same.
Another Fantastic review Andrew. The only thing I like about the Snapdragon model is the battery life, which really is amazing..... I think the Intel Processor based laptop is better in almost every other way. However, i'm looking forward to Lunar Lake paired with a non OLED screen. OLED really seems to eat up the battery life.....
My conclusion regarding the graphics chip was that it is pretty similar to the Arc graphics when it's native. Which makes me hopeful that it will be good on that front soon too - assuming these Arm processors sell well and most developers make native Arm versions of most software.
Both run Power BI, Python, Excel, and Power Point presentations for the private sector. The Intel version can run all X86 software without problems and better for photo/video editing, especially with the OLED model & 100% DCI-P3 score. The Snapdragon X Elite version has far better battery life for those that travel (flights & trains) for work/leisure, better CPU for programming, and faster RAM. Unfortunately, both are horrible for ports. However, a lightweight dongle can compensate for $20. A $20 dongle usually include an HDMI 2.0 port, 2 or 3 Type A ports (5Gb/s data transfer speed), and a SD card reader. For those that want to use a wireless mouse at work or home, those dongles with a Type A port are essential. Also, the HDMI 2.0 port is helpful if you want a monitor at home with 4k 60hz display. The SD card reader for professional photographers.
It is available with the 165H too. But would it affect battery life during normal use, video playback? And would it give any performance boost that is noticable?
Am soo confused, I don't get it! How does these laptops with 55 and 54Wh are beating 70Wh in terms of battery life? Is it based on the obtimizations and how much watt they feed to the processors? In future, with some utility apps that can control the watt to CPU can Asus Vivobook 15 (as an example) beat these 27hr battery records too?
Exactly! I just hope in future there are tools available which can help us tune TDP (with linux or windows tools) to get amazing battery life on all Snapdragon devices. If 55Wh dell can give 27h, just imagine what 70Wh Yoga 7X would give with right TDP and optimization!
I am considering purchasing the 3k oled version. If the 1200p ips version was able to achieve a battery life of around 27-28 hours in your test, what do you think the battery life achievmenet would be for the version I'm looking to get with the same test? I will be getting either the 32 gb or 64 gb ram variant of the 3k oled version, if that makes a difference to your answer. Thanks
@Andrew I am a fan of your work. I use my laptop for email, TH-cam, excel light video editing. Buy surface laptop 7 with snapdragon or buy sth else with Ryzen ? Thank you ❤
I have the 9345 with 64GB of RAM. It is awesome. But I do have compatibility issues. So far, the most frustrating has been with printing. I have not been able to find a compatible printer yet.
From what I've read, any printer supporting AirPrint should be compatible with ARM/Snapdragon? I've got an HP Color LaserJet MFP M283fdw and it supports AirPrint so I'd expect it to work here - can anyone confirm?
@@nmckinlayso far that has not been my experience. Both my printers (our copier at my office) supports AirPrint. My copier is a Sharp. And Sharp has stated they have no intention of providing drivers for ARM devices. I also have an HP all-in-one personal printer and it won’t work there either.
Love your reviews Andrew, they are always trustworthy! Can you please review the 13.8 inch Surface Laptop 7 with X Plus? I'm aware that you're working on the review for 15 inch X Elite variant! Thank you!
Nice pc. Camera and mics and speakers okay. Port selection fair. Displays are good. Personally I would choose the Intel version because of better software compatability at this time. When you think about it even though battery life is not as good as the snapdragon it is still plenty good. How many people use this for 20 hrs straight? Anyway another great quality review. How you holding up with the heat in Vegas?
@@nicktw8688 Even though a good dongle is cheap, $20, they can get misplaced or stolen. Having ports built into the laptop makes life easier due to 1 less thing to worry about.
Yo can u compare this laptop to the hp spectre 2024 I’ve been liking that for a while but when i went into the store to see it it felt hot to the touch above the keyboard and that concerned me for its battery life
Hey, Please compare Ultra 9 185H with i9 13900H. Also, would it be wise to add ~$150 to get Ultra 9 instead of Ultra 7 - there are close to no videos for Ultra 9 processor.

Not really. Lunar Lake is around the corner, and too many software applications still run on X86 software. At worst, they will be the poor man's choice after AMD.
