Go inside Snapdragon’s exclusive Beats and Bytes event at SXSW

At Snapdragon’s Beats and Bytes event at SXSW, Mashable got a first-hand look at Dell’s XPS 13, powered by the Snapdragon(R) X Elite processor. It’s one of the thinnest, lightest and smartest Dell XPSs yet, with multi-day battery life, a vibrant OLED display, and on-device AI. And with ultimate performance delivered by Snapdragon X Elite, it runs cool even while it’s working hard.

SXSW was born as a music festival, and at Beats and Bytes we also got a front-row seat as some of the best music-production apps showed off what they can do on PCs powered by Snapdragon X Series processors. Cakewalk, a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), gives you a stellar setup for making music whether you’re a professional or a beginner. Moises Live brings AI tools to live performance, adjusting your mix and levels in real time. And if you’re new to music, Melodics turns learning instruments like the piano or drums into a game, helping you improve with interactive lessons and real-time feedback.

Our recap video takes you inside the action at Beats and Bytes, giving you an exclusive look at how Snapdragon X Series processors can power your creativity.
