What is true of this model and changes how you fix it

• Official specifications
  Intel Core Ultra 5 125H / Ultra 7 155H / Ultra 7 165H (Meteor Lake, with NPU). 8/16/32/64GB LPDDR5x soldered RAM (6400 or 7467 MT/s). 13.4in InfinityEdge display, FHD+ up to OLED options. Weight 1.19kg / 2.6lbs.
• Tier — premium ultrabook (Windows 11)
  A thin premium 13-inch Windows 11 ultrabook with a minimalist design (capacitive function-row, edge-to-edge keyboard on this generation). Soldered RAM (not upgradeable) is common on XPS 13 — check before planning an upgrade.
• Thin-and-light thermals
  As a thin ultrabook it can warm and its fan spin up under sustained load, and heavy workloads may throttle — expected for the form factor, not a fault. Great for everyday and office work.
• Ports — USB-C only
  It is USB-C/Thunderbolt only (no USB-A or HDMI) — you need adapters/dongles or a dock for legacy peripherals, which is by design, not a missing feature.
• Ports and charging (from LaptopMedia and ITPro reviews)
  Two Thunderbolt 4 ports, no other ports, and the USB-C charger uses one of them. It ships with a 60 W USB-C charger, so with the charger in only one port is free.
• Battery
  55 Wh, rated by reviewers at close to 17 hours of web browsing in testing.
• Memory and storage
  LPDDR5x memory in 8, 16, 32 or 64 GB (6400 or 7467 MT/s), soldered to the board, and one SSD slot. A memory fault therefore means a board repair, not a new stick.
• Also covered

• Also covered
  Latitude 7450, memory and storage: LPDDR5x-6400 memory soldered on the board (up to 64 GB), so it cannot be upgraded. The only upgradeable storage is an M.2 2230 SSD.
• Also covered
  Latitude 7450, versions: Sold as Mainstream, Ultralight and 2-in-1 configurations, so check which one you have before matching a battery or part.
