Dell has unveiled its first premium Qualcomm-based business laptop, the Latitude 7455, at Dell Technologies World 2024. The device, which the PC manufacturer says is its thinnest Latitude laptop yet, features a Snapdragon X Elite or X Plus CPU, a souped-up variant of the chip used on popular smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Both Snapdragon X units come with a NPU (Neural Processing Unit) that can achieve between 40 and 45 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second) and an Adreno 740 GPU; both essential for AI tasks. The slower Plus version has 10 CPU cores running at up to 3.4GHz while the Elite one has two extra cores.
