Product Information

The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 34.8 °C / 95 F, compared to the average of 29.5 °C / 85 F for the devices in the class Office. The Dell Latitude E5430 laptop has two RAM slots with a total capacity of 16GB – 8GB in each slot. The device I tested came with 8 GB of RAM in one slot and no RAM in the second slot. For ports, the Dell Latitude E5430 has an eSATA/USB 3.0 combination connection. It also features a VGA, an ExpressCard reader, and a cute molded fake card that acts as a letter opener and a small ruler. Nonetheless, its size is scarcely limiting when you consider its well-designed form factor. Despite the weight and size, it feels comfortable on the lap.

Additionally, the laptop is easier to work with on your lap compared to many smaller notebooks in this position. This is due to an adequately-sized, flat palm rest.

As a result, I was able to open different applications and easily switch between them without the laptop stuttering. I fully charged the laptopbefore testing and turned off sleep, hibernation, screen and hard drive timeouts, and Wi-Fi. The Laptop lasted an incredible 11 hours and 2 minutes under these conditions andwhen set to the “Power Saver” power profile.In addition, I ran a PCMark 10 test to determine the laptop’s memory performance. The laptop received a score of 3900 points on the test.

Dell Latitude E5430 features Dell Fast Response Free Fall Sensor. Latitude can help your organization meet its environmental goals with an energy-efficient design that’s ENERGY STAR® 5.2-qualified and brominated flame retardant (BFR) and PVC free. * In comparison, the Dell Inspiron 15 laptop, on the other hand, received 2452 points. Sadly, the Dell Latitude E5430 falls short of the Dell Inspiron 15. I’ll go through the features of the Dell Latitude E5430 in this review. In particular, I’ll examine its design, CPU, RAM, storage choices, GPU, and battery performance.To evaluate the storage transfer rate of the 320 GB hard drive that came with the laptop I reviewed, I ran a benchmark. It competes directly with Hitachi’s Travelstar Z7K500. The same applies to the Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, but perhaps to an even greater extent. This GPU has consistently proven itself to be faster than even the highest recorded scores of its HD 3000 counterpart in nearly every situation. This leaves little doubt that the notebook should be able handle most any low- to mid-range graphical task with no trouble.

If you answered yes, you should read this Dell Latitude E5430 review because it may be the one for you! The anti-glare screen is a mixed bag. Yes, it will prevent screen reflections from fatiguing your users' eyes, but the screen is also a little dull looking next to newer ultrabooks.

Hard drive retention: Hard drive retention is not available on models with a soldered hard drive, including XPS 9315 2in1, Chromebooks or Venue tablets, except the Venue 11 Pro. Embracing our obstinate addiction, we tested Diablo III’s performance on the Latitude E5430 to see how it compared to our previous tests and those performed just weeks prior on the E5530. While admirable, the results didn’t vary materially from our E5530 venture—just a couple of frames per second here and there, which is an insignificant difference that could be attributed to any variety of factors. In terms of hard numbers, this translated to an average of 28 frames per second on high and 36 frames per second on medium settings, both certainly palatable values for a business notebook.All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location.
