Dell Latitude 9430 2-in-1 convertible review: The Intel 12th gen upgrade

[Redaktion]

The 2022 update includes a higher resolution webcam, 5G support, and faster Alder Lake-U CPU options all with vPro support. Are the differences enough to propel it over the already excellent Latitude 9420 2-in-1?

So no criticism on price?

So no criticism on price? 

This is a premier business laptop where firms are expected to purchase it, possibly in bulk, or for the CEO/manager. Dell doesn't expect too many regular consumers to purchase it, so they would price it however high they want to.

The SSD Form factor appears to be 2230, like the previous generation, not 2242.

It's a $900 caliber laptop being sold at x3 its price for tax writeoff purposes. Companies who buy this in bulk will get a "discount" depending on whichever level of customer loyalty program they are on Dell's list. Or at least, that is how it usually works.

"However, an extra point goes to the HP models as they incorporate a dedicated key for launching HP specific apps like Command Center or myHP. Such a key on the Dell Latitude for launching Optimizer or Power Manager would have been very useful."

How is this a con? Is the reviewer drunk? No one wants useless bloatware on laptops, and even less a dedicated key for them.
