Background and Identification
Dell announced upgrades to its XPS 13 line of laptop computers at CES 2015, and released the 9343 and 9350 models soon after. These new models were advertised to have better graphics and battery performance than previous versions.
The XPS 13 9343 ships in several different configurations of memory, storage and display capability. The 9343 model was released first, followed by the 9350 model. The 9350 is a “performance boost” model, featuring more powerful processors and RAM as well as improved battery life.
To identify what model of XPS 13 laptop you have, you can press F2 at powerup to enter BIOS. This should bring up the model number of your computer. Alternatively, if you know the Service Tag number, you can enter it into this Dell Support page to confirm the model and get other support help from Dell.
