Less noise and heat under load and perhaps an option for a better-quality screen with equivalent or better brightness. Nevertheless, this is still very close to the absolute maximum Turbo Boost frequency of 1200 MHz, and this is much better than the E5530 fared under these same conditions. Under most circumstances, when idle, the machine is nearly silent with an average noise level of just 32 dB.

Part of every review we assemble includes a system stress test to check for throttling when the CPU and GPU are stressed both simultaneously and independently of each other. By comparison, the Dell E5530 we reviewed included a standard HD panel (27% dimmer) which barely sufficed for use in bright daylight.

The two buttons below it are detectably hard plastic, but they’re nevertheless fairly sturdy and simultaneously quiet (once again, the premium-grade rubberized buttons are only available on the 6XXX E-series Latitudes).

Having said that, Intel HD Graphics 4000 comes standard with every mid-to-high-end third-generation Intel Core CPU. Sporting a 35 W TDP, it sips power just as efficiently as its predecessors while simultaneously turning in improved performance with its 22 nm architecture and 3D transistors. This section provides links to information about locations of connectors and ports, pictures of your system, and will help you to get started with your system. On a more positive note, however, it is at least possible to view the panel far from the side without too much color distortion occurring. Interestingly, on our E5530 review unit, we experienced comparable latency issues, but in that instance it was disabling of the Bluetooth module which rectified the problem.Not much has changed from the previous generation: you have the choice between the 97 Wh 9-cell battery we received or, at the benefit of reduced size and weight, either a 6-cell (60 Wh) or 4-cell (40 Wh) battery instead. The section below, provides links to articles that contain information about the different hardware on your system. Our asset tags and ship-box labels make identifying, tracking, securing and recovering your computers easier, simpler and more affordable.

Dell Latitude E5430 offers excellent build quality, reasonable performance for its specs, a great selection of ports, and decent battery life. And finally, the weight—while partially a factor of the heavier-than-usual build quality—is more prohibitive than that of many competing 14” notebooks.

Unfortunately, the memory card reader’s transfer rates may be slower than standard HDDs and definitely slower than SSDs. Meanwhile, outdoor use is most certainly possible— and even comfortable in many situations—thanks primarily to the matte display.

As a result, I was able to open different applications and easily switch between them without the laptop stuttering. If issue is covered by Limited Hardware Warranty and not resolved remotely, technician and/or part will be dispatched usually within 1 or 2 business days following completion of remote diagnosis.
