Indeed, the keyboard's reddish rim has been replaced by a charcoal black, and as we believe, more business appropriate one.Coretek’s responsibility under this, or any other warranty, implied or expressed, is limited to repair, replacement or refund, as set forth above. This makes the ATG a strong contender for uses and deployments where a standard business laptop may just not be quite tough enough. The official Geeks Geek, as his weekly column is titled, Avram Piltch has guided the editorial and production of Laptopmag.

Playable refresh rates of 21 fps are still achieved in medium details and the native resolution of 1366x768.If you like the case design, do not play sophisticated games and are not exactly planning to work with CAD software, there is absolutely nothing that speaks against the Latitude E6430. GHz, a 1366 x 768 screen, 2GB of RAM, a nonbacklit keyboard, a 6-cell battery, no webcam and a 320GB 7,200 rpm hard drive.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. However, the native resolution and medium details in DX10 mode is closer to a flip book due to 15 fps. with the way i use this (i've had it for a couple of months now), battery life is only about 4 hours, and even less if i'm gaming - but that's no problem for me, only a little inconvenient. We don't know how that differs from the "DirectVue" display enhancements that come with the fully rugged XFR model.

The Latitude E6430 excels in this test: It achieves the 15 th overall place of all previously tested devices, which proves that the business laptop accelerates processes that only need one core properly. Through various available hardware and software components, Latitude is easy to manage and maintain over the course of its long lifecycle. pounds, the beefed-up ATG starts at about 6 pounds and our nicely equipped sample hit the scale at 6. Since Dell's semi-rugged and rugged models are loosely based on the Latitude consumer laptop line, the ATG and XFR models have had wide-format displays for years.Intel's integrated graphics processor (IGP) of the latest Ivy Bridge processor generation, the HD Graphics 4000 in our case, accelerates all routine tasks, starting with HD videos up to games, smoothly in low details. Like all the current members of Dell's Latitude E6400 line, the E6430 is built for durability with a "Tri-Metal" chassis that consists of a magnesium alloy frame, reinforced steel hinges, a matte chrome bumper, a protective LCD seal and a spill-resistant keyboard. With his technical knowledge and passion for testing, Avram programmed several of LAPTOP's real-world benchmarks, including the LAPTOP Battery Test.
