The diagonal of 13.4 inches and the resolution of 2880 x 1800 are also identical to the OLED panel of the XPS 13 (9340), meaning that the advantages of the new display technology for users are likely to be limited to power consumption and the potentially longer lifespan. The fact that LG Display is already mass-producing tandem OLED panels in laptop format suggests that more laptops with comparable displays will soon be launched onto the market.

The new Dell XPS 13 (9345) also boasts the brand-new Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, a 1.17-kg, 14.8-mm-thin chassis and a 55 Wh battery, which, thanks to the more economical ARM chip and the new OLED display, is likely to ensure runtimes of up to 16 hours when streaming video, with the model with 1200p LCD lasting significantly longer with up to 27 hours of streaming runtime.
