DELL XPS 13 9340 (2024)

The DELL XPS 13 9340 (2024) is a 13.4-inch ultrabook starting at just 1.17kg, built for business professionals, developers and creators who need a compact machine to carry every day without giving up a great display. It runs on Intel Core Ultra H-series chips with integrated Intel Arc graphics and keeps the familiar minimalist design of the XPS line. Read on for the design, display, performance, keyboard, ports and battery, plus the trade-offs worth weighing before you buy.

Dell XPS 13 9340 Design: Minimalist, Thin and Light CNC Aluminum Chassis

The Dell XPS 13 9340 is machined from a single block of CNC-cut aluminum, with a matte finish that helps resist fingerprints. It comes in two colors, Platinum (bright silver) and Graphite (dark gray), and its clean lines look professional on a conference table. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, making the laptop more durable when you carry it around often.

The laptop measures 295.3 x 199.1mm and is 14.8mm thick with the OLED panel or 15.3mm with the FHD+ and QHD+ panels. It weighs just 1.17kg with OLED and 1.19kg with FHD+ or QHD+, light enough to slip into a 13-inch padded sleeve or a small backpack for business trips. If you need a compact Dell laptop for everyday travel, the XPS 13 chassis is well worth a look.

XPS 13 9340 13.4-Inch 120Hz Display with QHD+ and OLED 3K+ Options

The XPS 13 9340 offers three 13.4-inch InfinityEdge display options, all supporting a 30-120Hz refresh rate and Dolby Vision. The FHD+ (1920 x 1200) panel is non-touch and anti-glare, covers 100% sRGB and reaches 500 nits. The QHD+ (2560 x 1600) panel is a touchscreen with an anti-reflective coating, covers 100% DCI-P3 and reaches 500 nits. The OLED 3K+ (2880 x 1800) panel is a touchscreen that covers 100% DCI-P3 and reaches 400 nits.

The unit currently sold at Hung Phat Laptop has the QHD+ touch display, which balances sharpness, a wide DCI-P3 color gamut and 500 nits of brightness when you sit near a window. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling pages and moving through spreadsheets smoother, while for static content the display can drop to 30Hz to save battery. If you mostly write documents, the anti-glare FHD+ panel is more power efficient; if you edit photos and watch a lot of movies, the OLED 3K+ panel is worth the investment.

Dell XPS 13 9340 (2024) Performance with Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Arc Graphics and LPDDR5x RAM

The unit on sale uses the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H vPro chip with 16 cores, 22 threads, 24MB of cache and a max boost clock of 4.8GHz. The Dell XPS 13 9340 line is also available with the Core Ultra 5 125H with 14 cores and 18 threads (4.5GHz) and the Core Ultra 7 165H with 16 cores and 22 threads (5.0GHz).

Source: average scores from Notebookcheck. In a thin chassis like the XPS 13, real-world multi-core scores may be lower depending on the power mode and ambient temperature.

In everyday use, the Core Ultra 7 155H handles heavy office work, programming, lots of browser tabs and photo editing in Lightroom. The average scores of the Core Ultra 7 165H are nearly on par with the 155H, and its multi-core score is even slightly lower because it depends on each machine's cooling system, so the 155H version makes more sense cost-wise. The Core Ultra 5 125H version suits users who mainly do office work and video meetings.
The integrated Intel Arc graphics (the 8-core version on the 155H and 165H) are enough for photo editing, short Full HD video editing and light games at low settings. There is no discrete graphics card, so if you regularly edit 4K video or render 3D, a laptop with a discrete GPU will be a better fit.
The DELL XPS 13 9340 (2024) comes with 8GB of LPDDR5 6400MHz RAM or 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of LPDDR5x 7467MHz RAM. The RAM is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded later, so you should choose enough capacity from the start: 16GB, as on the unit on sale, is enough for office work and programming, while 32GB or more suits virtual machines or video editing. The PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD comes in 512GB, 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities; the unit on sale has 512GB, and the SSD can be swapped for a larger one when needed.

Keyboard, Forcepad, Dolby Atmos Speakers and FHD Webcam on the Dell XPS 13 9340

The Dell XPS 13 9340 uses a keyboard that spans nearly the full width of the chassis, with backlighting and comfortable key travel that stays easy on the hands during long typing sessions. The touch-sensitive Forcepad offers a wide surface and supports multi-finger gestures for scrolling, zooming and switching windows. This new keyboard and touchpad design takes a few days to get used to; in the meantime, you can add an external mouse.

The stereo speakers are tuned with Waves MaxxAudio Pro, Waves Nx 3D Audio and Dolby Atmos, delivering clear sound for video meetings and movies. The FHD 1080p webcam supports Windows Hello for facial sign-in, along with Intel's Express Sign-In feature, which unlocks the laptop faster when you sit down at your desk.

As with any 13-inch laptop, bass is still limited. For long music or movie sessions, Bluetooth headphones or external speakers will give you fuller sound.

Dell XPS 13 9340 Ports and Battery: 2 Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, 55Wh Battery

The Dell XPS 13 9340 has 2 Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) ports, one on each side, both supporting DisplayPort 2.1 and Power Delivery charging, so you can plug in the charger on whichever side is more convenient. There is no USB-A, HDMI or 3.5mm headphone jack; a USB-C hub or Thunderbolt dock takes care of connecting a mouse, older USB devices, a projector and wired headphones.

Wireless connectivity comes from an Intel Killer Wi-Fi 7 1750 (BE200) 2x2 card and Bluetooth 5.4, delivering high speeds and low latency when paired with a Wi-Fi 7 router. The fingerprint reader enables quick sign-in alongside facial recognition through the webcam.

The 55Wh Lithium-Ion battery is enough for a session of office work; real-world runtime depends heavily on the display type, and the FHD+ version typically lasts longer than the QHD+ and OLED versions. When working away from an outlet, turn on battery saver mode and lower the screen brightness, and bring along a compact USB-C charger.

DELL XPS 13 9340 (2024) Overview and Review

The DELL XPS 13 9340 (2024) is a 13.4-inch ultrabook that balances a 1.17kg to 1.19kg body, a high-quality 120Hz display and an Intel Core Ultra chip capable of heavy office work, programming and photo editing. It suits business professionals, freelancers and students who are often on the move.

The points to consider are that it has only 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports and no 3.5mm jack, but a small USB-C hub is enough to solve that. The RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded, so choose the right capacity from the start. The integrated graphics are not meant for heavy 3D work, and the new keyboard and Forcepad take some time to get used to. You can explore other versions in the Dell XPS 13 category.
