Dell XPS 9345 With Snapdragon X1 Sees Linux Patches But Not Yet Speakers & Other Features
Following the other recent work around Linux enablement for Snapdragon X1 powered laptops, yesterday patches were posted for getting the X1 Elite powered Dell XPS 9345 working with Linux but not all functionality is currently working.
Aleksandrs Vinarskis posted the set of three patches for getting the Dell XPS 9345 working with Linux by writing up the necessary Device Tree handling. Until the battery reporting, speakers, and other features are in place it may be tough for Linux users to use the Dell XPS 9345 as a daily driver. The Dell XPS 13 9345 pricing starts out at $1199 USD for the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 Elite X1E-80-100, 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, 512GB SSD, and 13.5-inch 1920 x 1200 display.
