Devices featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series processors were not expected to launch until this summer, but we now have firsthand information, and they appear to be indistinguishable from regular laptop designs.
Would you like to see Dell's new lineup of laptops featuring the upcoming Snapdragon X Elite processor from Qualcomm? These leaked images provided by Windows Report were obtained prior to Microsoft's event on May 20, with expectations that the new Surfaces (along with other latest laptops) will utilize the same chip.
Unsurprisingly, they look like laptops, albeit with a sleeker overall profile. The most intriguing model is Dell's newly launched XPS 13 9345, which appears to be a stylish reincarnation of the 2022 XPS 13 Plus. It features a touch-sensitive bar at the top row and is equipped with just two USB-C input/output ports.

Additionally, there is a leaked new model, the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus, rumored to come with a 16-core Snapdragon X Elite processor and 16GB of base memory. Inspiron laptops are considered Dell's mainstream series, and while this model appears thinner, its design is not as stylish as the XPS series. It seems to feature two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, and a microSD card slot.
Dell recently unveiled new XPS series products in January, with the bottom row of the keyboard featuring Microsoft's new Copilot key—indicating that these leaked products may also include this key. Dell, HP, and Lenovo have collaborated with Microsoft to release laptops supporting Windows 11 AI features. These leaked Dell laptops evidently come equipped with the upcoming "AI Explorer" feature from Microsoft.
They are among the first Snapdragon X laptops we've seen, with another being the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 leaked by the tipster WalkingCat. The Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge is also expected to be released, and Asus seems to be launching a laptop based on a Qualcomm processor.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series is set to appear in laptops this summer, marking a significant bet by the chipmaker to challenge Apple Silicon, Intel, and AMD performance.
