Dell XPS 13 9345, Dell Inspiron 14 7441 Plus With Snapdragon X Elite Chip Leak Ahead of Anticipated Debut

Dell XPS 13 9345 and Dell Inspiron 14 7441 Plus could be launched soon as the company’s first laptops to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Series processors. Images of the next-generation laptops from Dell have now leaked online. They are said to feature a dedicated key to launch Microsoft’s Copilot chatbot along with support AI capabilities. Dell’s purported laptops are also tipped to arrive with support for Microsoft’s upcoming Windows AI Explorer and will reportedly be launched in the second half of 2024.

Images of two new laptops — the Dell XPS 13 9345 and Inspiron 14 7441 Plus — were published by Windows Report on Friday. These laptops are similar to the company’s previous XPS and Inspiron laptop lineups, and are equipped with a Snapdragon X Elite chip instead of AMD or Intel processors, according to the report.

The leaked images of the Dell XPS 13 9345 show the laptop from various angles, revealing an OLED display with slim bezels and a dedicated Copilot key. The laptop is also shown to feature a touch bar with escape, delete, and function keys, while the right and left sides of the keyboard extend to the edges of the chassis, just like the Dell XPS 13 Plus with a 12th Gen Intel Core Alder Lake CPU that was introduced at CES 2022.

Meanwhile, the Dell Inspiron 14 7441 Plus is shown with a design that will be similar to the company’s recent Inspiron series of laptops, along with rounded edges. It will also be equipped with a dedicated Copilot key, according to the leaked images, while the keyboard will also feature a fingerprint scanner that is built into the power button. The Inspiron 14 7441 Plus is also shown with a fairly large trackpad.

On the connectivity front, the Dell XPS 13 9345 is said to be equipped with two USB Type-C ports. Meanwhile, the Dell Inspiron 14 7441 Plus is shown to feature two USB Type-C ports, a USB Type-A port, and a microSD card slot. The leaked images show the XPS 13 9345 with a borderless trackpad, while the pictures of the Inspiron 14 7441 Plus suggest the laptop will have a Windows Hello compatible webcam alongside other unspecified sensors.

While Dell is yet to announce plans to launch new XPS and Inspiron laptops that are powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite chips, the publication states that the XPS 9345 and Inspiron 14 7441 Plus could be launched in August or September. There’s also no word on pricing for both laptops, but we can expect these details, along with other product specifications to surface online in the coming months leading to their debut.

Dell, HP, Lenovo Among 32 Firms That Applied to Make Laptops in India, Says IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw

At least 32 international electronics companies have applied to India’s incentive programme to make laptops, tablets and servers in the country, a top minister said on Wednesday, weeks after the government announced restrictions on laptop imports.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is pushing to boost domestic manufacturing capacity under its “Make in India” initiative, with several global companies either setting up their own units or entering joint ventures with Indian firms.

The applications by the electronics companies were made under the country’s $2 billion (roughly Rs. 16,500 crore) production-linked incentive (PLI) programme for information technology hardware, announced in May, Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.

Earlier this month, India said it would impose a licensing requirement for imports of laptops, tablets and personal computers, which was widely seen as a move to boost local production.

The companies that have applied to make laptops and other products in India include Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies, Asus, Acer and Lenovo, said Vaishnaw, according to a video feed from ANI news agency, in which Reuters has a minority stake.

The PLI scheme for IT hardware is expected to bring Rs. 24.3 billion of incremental investment and is likely to generate 75,000 direct jobs, the minister said.

India will provide a transition period of about three months before a new licensing regime for imports of laptops, tablets, and personal computers comes into effect, the country’s trade regulator said on August 5.

This is a partial reversal from a surprise decision on Thursday to impose the licensing requirement with immediate effect, which had prompted calls for a delay.

“Import consignments can be cleared till October 31 without a license and a government permit would be required for clearance of import from November 1,” the government said in a notification.

Government Said to Likely Give More Time to Foreign Laptop Companies to Apply for Licences

The government is likely to give more time to companies to apply for licences to import laptops and other devices, extending stipulated timelines of import restrictions, IT Ministry sources said. The move will come as a part breather to companies.

The timelines may be extended, maybe by a month or so, they said adding that DGFT notice on this can be expected soon.

The sources said companies will be given more time to apply for the licence, and sought to assure that consignment or shipments meantime in transit won’t face any issues.

The government’s latest move to impose import restrictions on laptops, tablets and certain types of computers, and allow their import only through valid licences was triggered by “security concerns”.

Import curbs will allow the Centre to keep a close watch on locations from where products are coming from, IT Ministry sources said.

On August 3, the government of India took the decision to impose a licensing requirement for imports of laptops, tablets, and personal computers to boost domestic manufacturing. The current regulations in India allow companies to import laptops freely, but the new rule mandates a special license for these products similar to restrictions India imposed in 2020 for inbound TV shipments.

The government in its notification on Thursday gave no reason for the move, which could affect technology companies such as Apple, Dell, and Samsung and force them to boost local manufacturing.

Soon after, it was reported that Apple, Samsung Electronics and HP are among the biggest names freezing new imports of laptops and tablets to India.

India’s Import Ban on Laptops, Tablets, PC to Boost Domestic Manufacturing, Says MoS IT

India’s decision to impose a licensing requirement for imports of laptops, tablets, and personal computers will boost domestic manufacturing and ensure its tech ecosystem uses verified systems only, its deputy IT minister said on Friday.

Current regulations in India allow companies to import laptops freely, but the new rule mandates a special license for these products similar to restrictions India imposed in 2020 for inbound TV shipments.

The government in its notification on Thursday gave no reason for the move, which could affect technology companies such as Apple, Dell, and Samsung and force them to boost local manufacturing.

Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on the X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, that “it is the government’s objective to ensure trusted hardware and systems”, reduce dependence on imports and increase domestic manufacturing of such products.

The move is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” plan, which promotes local manufacturing and discourages imports.

Besides boosting local manufacturing, the move is aimed at curbing supplies from China, as it has security concerns regarding such products, a government source told Reuters.

The new rule will ensure India’s tech eco-system uses “trusted and verified systems only that are imported and/or domestically manufactured trusted systems/products,” Chandrasekhar added.

Apple, Dell, and Samsung have not responded to requests for comment.

Apple Sees Rise in MacBook Air Demand Amid Decline in Q2 Global PC Shipments: Canalys

The decline in global personal computer shipments slowed in the second quarter, with Apple outperforming the market with a 51 percent jump thanks to strong demand for its recently launched 15-inch MacBook Air, data from research firm Canalys showed.

The report adds to early signs of a recovery in the industry, which has been banking on a new round of equipment upgrades by consumers and businesses to shake off its post-pandemic slump.

Canalys said the worldwide PC market declined by 12 percent in the second quarter of 2023, a much smaller fall than the over-30 percent drops seen in the previous two quarters, as it benefited from strong back-to-school demand.

“There are indications that many of the issues that have affected the sector are beginning to abate,” said Ishan Dutt, principal analyst at Canalys.

Apple grew the most among the major PC makers, with shipments hitting 6.8 million units and its market share expanding to 11 percent from 6.4 percent a year earlier, as supply-chain hurdles eased and it benefited from demand for the new MacBook Air.

Market leader Lenovo posted a shipment decline of 18.1 percent, smaller than the 30.3 percent fall posted in the previous quarter. HP and Dell also saw smaller falls, compared with the prior quarter.

“Inventory levels reduced further in Q2,” said Kieren Jessop, research analyst at Canalys. “All customer segments are set to improve sequentially for the remainder of 2023, amid a final push of inventory corrections and stronger seasonality in the latter half of the year.”

Still, Canalys said it expects 2023 shipments to be lower than 2022 as consumers prioritize spending on essentials in the face of high inflation and rising interest rates.
