Ultrabook- Intel Core Ultra 7 155H
- 16GB LPDDR5x · 512GB NVMe
- 13.4" FHD+ · Intel Arc iGPU
Who this is for. Buy the Dell XPS 13 9340 if you want a 13.4-inch Windows ultrabook for travel, consulting, and all-day browser work, and you are willing to confirm the exact panel and Core Ultra SKU on Dell’s configure page before you pay.
This is the ultrabook we would put in a backpack five days a week. It is not a gaming laptop and it is not a creator workstation. Match the 9340 family, then match the CPU, RAM, and display line on the Dell listing — those three fields change the machine more than the lid photo.

Buying notes for the Dell XPS 13 9340
The XPS 13 9340 is Dell’s Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) 13.4-inch clamshell. AISneer does not stock it. You buy from Dell or a partner. Typical street pricing for a Core Ultra 7 155H, 16GB LPDDR5x, and 512GB NVMe configuration starts around $1,199 in the US, but Dell’s CTO page will show other panels and memory sizes under the same marketing name. Do not confuse it with XPS 13 9345 (Snapdragon X Elite) or XPS 13 9350 (Core Ultra Series 2). Treat “XPS 13” without a four-digit chassis code as a different generation.
Start with the panel. Dell sells FHD+ 1920×1200 non-touch, QHD+, and OLED options on this chassis. A matte FHD+ panel is the commuting default; OLED looks better indoors and picks up fingerprints and reflections on a train. Touch vs non-touch is a SKU checkbox, not a software toggle. If the listing photo is OLED and the SKU string says FHD+ non-touch, believe the string.
Memory is soldered LPDDR5x. 16GB is the floor we will recommend for 2026 browser-heavy work. 8GB configurations exist in the wider XPS family and age badly once Teams, a dozen tabs, and a local IDE share the same pool. You cannot add a SODIMM later. Storage is easier: 512GB NVMe is acceptable if you keep photos on a drive; bump the SSD at purchase if you keep VMs.
Ports are the usual ultrabook trade. Expect Thunderbolt/USB-C and a headphone jack, not a full-size HDMI and USB-A row. If your dock or projector is HDMI-only, budget a USB-C hub from our accessory catalog rather than buying a thicker 15-inch chassis you will resent. Battery claims are SKU-dependent; use Dell’s published number for the exact processor and panel, not a generic “all-day” slide.
Compared with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 in this catalog, the XPS 13 is the smaller, more consumer-styled pick. Carbon wins if you need a TrackPoint, a 14-inch 2.8K OLED option, and enterprise WWAN/vPro checkboxes. XPS wins if you want the 13.4-inch bag size and Dell’s consumer store flow. Neither is a substitute for the MacBook Pro 14 if your stack is Final Cut or Xcode.
