The day was great for big tech giants innovating in AI and hardware, and Dell is definitely not one of them. A leaked Dell document reveals their plans for a new direction: the Snapdragon-powered XPS 13 laptop. Here's everything you should know.
The new Dell XPS 13 Plus is AMAZING
The 311-page document from Dell, leaked by VideoCardz, contains information about the company's next-generation Snapdragon-powered XPS 13 Plus and future Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered laptops. The document describes the upcoming XPS 13 Plus, codenamed "TributoQC".
The document shows us that the laptop is internally called TributoQC. Originally called "Qualcomm Nuvia" during the first-name phase, the document suggests 10-core (Nuvia 10c) and 12-core (Nuvia 12c) configurations with a maximum TDP of 17.5W and 25.5W, respectively. Image: Dell (via VideoCardz)
Compared to the previously launched Raptor Lake XPS (TributoRPL), the TributoQC is lighter (1200 grams vs. 1250 grams) but has a lower resolution (2.8K vs. 3.5K). Interestingly, the document mentions a new "Tandem OLED" technology from LG, which promises improved brightness and longevity. This technology uses multiple OLED screens (in this case – two) stacked on top of each other to combine light from both and provide better contrast.
