Dell Latitude E5430 Laptop 14" Screen - Intel Core i5 Processor, 8GB DDR3 Memory - 128GB SSD Genuine Microsoft Windows 10 Professional

Product Information

The Dell 6430u and Lenovo E431 both lack a docking port; thus, the Latitude E5430 is better suited a wider variety of business users. It’s also still quite a loud machine, reaching disturbing decibel levels under moderate levels of stress (though this behavior can be adjusted at the expense of some performance using Dell’s built-in power plans). Regardless, these are nonetheless impressive scores that should serve as encouragement no matter what your intended use.

As far as docking stations go, the E-Port Replicator includes 6 USB ports, eSATA, Ethernet, Audio, VGA, DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDMI, and a monitor stand. Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List. This Refurbished Dell Latitude E5430 laptop does not come with a Windows operating system installed.

The situation was somewhat different when both were stressed together: the CPU clock rates still generally hovered around the multi-core maximum of 3300 MHz, but GPU wavered a bit more noticeably around the 1100—1150 MHz mark.

Compare the red graph for the GPU Core Clock and you’ll witness the faltering Turbo Boost operations in action. The first is a standard HD (1366x768) display, and the second is an HD+ (1600x900) display with Premium Panel Guarantee. We have purchased in the regoin of 60 of these laptops to rollout across our business, which we have now done. As in many other categories, the E5XXX line of machines plays second fiddle to the E6XXX series with just a one-year standard warranty with mail-in service (versus the 6XXX series’ three-year warranty).Next, we enabled all wireless radios, set screen brightness to the highest level, and enabled the “High Performance” power profile. As with the rest of its brethren, the Latitude E5430’s display opens up all the way until parallel with the base of the notebook. From deployment to ongoing maintenance and support, Latitude can help you simplify IT management with remote access, remote battery and BIOS management capability and optional Intel vPro technology for efficient out-of-band management. If you prefer a pointing stick, keep in mind that this is one other feature you’ll only find on the backlit keyboard—the standard keyboard is completely without one.

The laptop is constructed from a magnesium alloy tri-metal frame design ensuring business rugged performance and durability. While both keyboards are very good, given the option, we would always recommend choosing the backlit keyboard for these reasons alone. By comparison, the Dell E5530 we reviewed included a standard HD panel (27% dimmer) which barely sufficed for use in bright daylight.

The available accessories include slice batteries and docking stations, two extras which are becoming more the rule than the exception with today’s business notebooks. Two Nanya 2 GB DDR3-1600 RAM modules (4 GB total) came installed in our review unit, which is more than enough for most users.
