Product Information

The Dell Latitude E6430 ATG is the latest in a long line of rugged and semi-rugged laptops from Dell. This great result is achieved because our Latitude's computation score, the computing-intensive test range, places it at the top with a big gap to all previously tested laptops with its computation score (26762 points). Nevertheless, it is recommended to connect a sound system because the given sound is not especially satisfactory here. Typing however sounds a bit louder than usual and a bit clattery, which is quite contrary to the keyboard's solid, tactile feedback. Whereas consumer notebooks usually consists of little more than a plastic case with a motherboard attached, semi-rugged designs are generally more complex, even if it's in subtle ways.

Designed to be durable for the professional who works from home as much as the office, the Latitude E6430 offers a 14" screen and a docking ecosystem.

Currently we use the Metrahit Energy, a professional single phase power quality and energy measurement digital multimeter, for our measurements.

It's tougher than a consumer laptop, but not as tough as a fully rugged one (and the term "rugged" isn't really defined either).Designed to be business rugged for the professional who works from home as much as the office, the Latitude E6430 offers a 14" screen and a docking ecosystem. High Performance" mode cranks the backlight up to full blast, and the discharge rate rose to just under 15 watts, good for 6. The "Quiet -- Reduced Fan" setting also used about the same (the fan, by the way, is very quiet to begin with). That's a wider version of the 1024 x 768 XGA standard still very common in vertical market custom software.
