Dell's massive 2025 laptop rebrand didn't affect the Snapdragon-powered XPS 13 (9345), a laptop that we tested and reviewed ourselves to discover some of the best battery life ever from a Windows 11 PC.
Dell XPS 13 (9345) review highlights — Why is it such a great deal?
Dell's XPS 13 (9345) launched late last year, and it's the only XPS model remaining following Dell's 2025 rebrand. Windows Central Senior Editor Zac Bowden reviewed the XPS 13 (9345) favorably, handing it four stars (out of a possible five) and a Best Award.
Bowden called out the "stunning and unique" design that features a seamless haptic touchpad, capacitive touch keys, and a zero-lattice keyboard, noting that it feels more like a 12-inch device due to the slim and refined chassis.
He tested the 13.4-inch display with 1920x1200 (FHD+) resolution — the same one in the discounted model highlighted here — and saw 98% sRGB color reproduction as well as 520 nits peak brightness. You'll be able to work outside, especially thanks to the anti-glare finish.
Battery life is really where this laptop shines, and that's all thanks to it running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus chip. I'll let Zac take it away:
"In our Procyon Battery Drain test, which runs productivity apps such as Microsoft Office on a loop until the battery dies, the XPS 13 managed 19 hours and 37 minutes, an incredible feat and beats most other Snapdragon X Elite powered Copilot+ laptops. The Surface Laptop 7 15-inch, for example, came in at over 18 hours."
You could certainly spend more on a new model with the same specs, and in fact, Dell has a new XPS 13 9345 with a 512GB SSD discounted down to $699.99. That's $400 off the regular price.
Considering you can save $110 on a "Like New" refurbished model and just upgrade the storage later on your own if needed, I'm recommending everyone consider the used model at just $589.99 first.
