The Dell XPS 13 9340 is the 2024 refresh of Dell's flagship ultraportable, built on Intel's Core Ultra ("Meteor Lake") platform and carrying over the zero-lattice keyboard and haptic touchpad introduced on the XPS 13 Plus. It was aimed at professionals and students who wanted a small, CNC-machined aluminum laptop without giving up processing power, and it remains one of the more sought-after 13-inch Windows machines thanks to its OLED display option and long software support window from Dell. Because the design changed little across its production run, a clean 9340 still commands solid interest on the resale market, especially in the higher processor tier or with the touch display. Pick your processor, display, and condition in the picker above for a live cash offer, or see how the process works before you commit. If you would rather browse other trade-in options first, you can also sell your laptop through the same quote flow.

Confirm you have the XPS 13 9340

The fastest way to confirm is inside Windows: go to Settings → System → About and check the "Device name" and processor line, or open the Dell SupportAssist app, which reads your Service Tag directly and matches it to the 9340. If Windows won't boot, you can also read the Service Tag from the BIOS boot screen (tap F12 at startup) or from the sticker recessed on the underside near the hinge.

Dell XPS 13 9340 (2024)

  • Service Tag visible via Dell SupportAssist or BIOS/F12 boot menu
  • Windows Settings → System → About lists the exact processor (Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7, Series 1)
  • Model line reads "XPS 13 9340" in Dell's own diagnostics tools

Display variant

  • Non-touch panel: matte finish, FHD+ resolution, no touch response when tapped
  • Touchscreen panel: glossy OLED finish with visibly deeper blacks, responds to touch

Prefer a visual check? The 9340 has a completely flat top-row of capacitive function keys with no physical travel, an edge-to-edge glass haptic touchpad with no visible click seam, and only two USB-C ports total, one on each side, with no headphone jack or USB-A port anywhere on the chassis.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core Ultra 5, Series 1 (Meteor Lake)
  • Intel Core Ultra 7, Series 1 (Meteor Lake)

Graphics

  • Integrated Intel Arc graphics, built into the Core Ultra chip
  • No discrete GPU option on this model

Memory

  • LPDDR5x memory, soldered to the board and not user-upgradable
  • Higher-capacity memory configurations hold value better over time

Storage

  • PCIe NVMe SSD in an M.2 2230 module
  • Technically replaceable but buried under a full teardown, so treat it as fixed in practice
  • Larger storage tiers are the single biggest lever on resale price

Display & audio

Display

13.4-inch, 16:10 panel offered two ways: a matte non-touch FHD+ IPS display, or a glossy 3.5K OLED touchscreen. The OLED touch panel is the one buyers ask for by name and it noticeably improves resale interest.

Audio

Quad-speaker array tuned with Waves MaxxAudio, firing through the keyboard deck and the underside of the chassis. Loud enough for a small room, thin enough that bass is limited, typical for this form factor.

Security

Windows Hello face unlock through an infrared camera above the display, paired with a fingerprint reader embedded in the power button.

Ports & connectivity

Dell kept this generation deliberately minimal. There is no headphone jack, no USB-A port, and no card reader anywhere on the chassis, so most owners keep the included USB-C adapters in the bag.

  • Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 (USB-C)

Wireless

Battery, build & more

Battery

A 55Wh battery pack charges over the same USB-C port used for peripherals, with no proprietary charging connector on the chassis.

Dimensions & weight

A 13.4-inch footprint, thin enough to slide into most sleeves, and light enough to carry in one hand all day. Exact weight varies slightly between the FHD+ and OLED touch builds.

Finishes

CNC-machined aluminum in Platinum and Graphite, with a woven glass fiber composite palm rest rather than the older carbon fiber weave.

Known issues

The capacitive function row and haptic touchpad both need power to operate, so a fully dead battery means no volume, brightness, or trackpad clicks until it has charged enough to boot. Early BIOS revisions also had documented audio and webcam driver quirks, since resolved through Windows Update.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Open Dell SupportAssist or go to Settings → System → About in Windows; both confirm the "XPS 13 9340" model line along with your installed processor. The Service Tag is also readable from the BIOS boot menu (tap F12 at startup) if Windows won't load. For a general walkthrough on locating any Dell model number, see our guide on finding your Dell laptop's model number, or use our model finder tool if you're not certain which laptop you're holding.
02 How do I tell it apart from the XPS 13 Plus 9320?
Check the processor and port count. The 9320 shares the same capacitive keyboard and haptic touchpad look but runs 12th or 13th generation Intel Core chips (i5/i7, no "Ultra" in the name), while the 9340 runs Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 Series 1 chips. Settings → System → About will show the processor name directly and settle it in seconds.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, a weak battery, or won't turn on?
Yes, all of those conditions can still be sold; the quote simply adjusts to reflect the damage. What can't be skipped is account removal: sign out of your Microsoft account and remove the device from it, and disable or suspend BitLocker if it's active, before the laptop ships. A locked account tied to the device will hold up processing even if the hardware itself is in good shape.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Configuration and cosmetic condition matter most. A Core Ultra 7 build with the 3.5K OLED touch display sits well above the base FHD+ non-touch configuration, and a chassis free of dents, deep scratches, or a cracked palm rest holds more value than one with visible wear. Including the original charger and box also helps, though it's not required.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC and choose "Remove everything," then confirm the device is removed from your Microsoft account under account.microsoft.com and that BitLocker is disabled or suspended beforehand. Once your device arrives, we test it against the condition you selected, and payment goes out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Shipping is free and insured in either direction.
