Review Dell Latitude E5430 Notebook

[Steve Schardein]

@All,

Thank you for taking the time to read and reply!  We take pride in our methodology here. :-)


@Bof,

Thanks for your feedback on the review.  To address your questions:

>>>>"Exemplary build" ?  "Fantastic keyboard" ?
Yes and yes.

>>I've owned two - and my company has hundreds - and this is the WORST machine I've ever used.  It's slow, crashes (due to memory issues), power/battery is a disaster (we've had dozens of problems)
Speed is a factor of configuration.  If your machine is slow, it is very likely due to a suboptimal configuration.  Take a look at our methods here.  Does it seem likely that under the testing and mathematical comparative analyses we provide, that we would somehow miss a "slow" machine?  It is the parts that provide speed coupled with such other ancillary factors as the security software chosen.  Many enterprise organizations are infamous for choosing terrible, slow security for their clients.  It is far more likely that this is your problem.

As for memory issues, our machine had none, as do most.  I purchase hundreds of these each year for my computer repair clients in Louisville, KY as well--and only a select few have had any problems at all related to hardware.  I also perform extensive diagnostics when I receive them, however, so that most likely has a lot to do with it.

Finally, the power issues... not sure on that one.  I have yet to experience it, but that is why you have a warranty.  No machine is perfect, but for the price, this one makes a lot of sense.

Hope this helps. :-)

It is 2020 and this is still my laptop-even though I do heavy coding with it. Love the keyboard, the sturdy base. With Ubuntu on it, it works great. In fact I am seeing a lot of new laptops that don't measure up to th
