In addition to Microsoft’s new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models, virtually ever major laptop OEM, from HP, to Lenovo, Acer, ASUS and Dell, all joined in on the party with the support of flagship models powered by Snapdragon X Elite or X Plus. For example, Dell’s XPS 13 (9345), that I’ve been spending some extended quality time with lately, is a rare breed of premium machine. In fact, Dell has never strayed from Intel Core processors to power its XPS 13 models, so this is a first to be sure, and a bold bet for the Round Rock, Texas company. I’d offer that bet was sound, from what I’ve seen thus far, and I’m impressed with this laptop as a potential daily driver.
