4 reasons to BUY the Dell Latitude 14 9430

1. Design and build quality

Starting off, the Latitude 14 is as premium as it gets, with a fully aluminum lid and chassis. It’s incredibly thin, with a profile between 8.46 mm and 13.94 mm, while weighing 1.29 kg. It’s not the lightest, but having some heft actually helps the laptop have a feel of better quality. On the front, the laptop does show some weakness and bends slightly, but this is unavoidable, due to the sub 9 mm profile.

The lid opens with one hand up to 90° after which you have to support the base with the other hand. Speaking of the base, everything is laid out pretty concisely. The keyboard is flanked by stereo speakers. Typing on it is great, as Dell has made every millimeter count, providing long key travel and clicky feedback. The touchpad is great as well, being protected by glass and having unmatched accuracy and responsiveness.

2. Display quality

The laptop is available with two display options, with both FHD+ and a QHD+ IPS panels. We tested the FHD unit, which is honestly a damn good panel. It’s sharp enough at 14 inches, providing punchy images. The display has a high max brightness, peaking at 533 nits and having a contrast ratio of 1690:1. The two paired together makes for deep and dark blacks, as well as vivid colors. For the designer among you, you’d be glad to see that it also covers 96% of the sRGB color gamut, which is enough for web design and other digital content.

Our Design and Gaming profile also manages to calibrate the panel to a dE value of 1.1, so colors are accurate and you’re able to use the device in a professional setting, where these things matter a lot. Here are the results of our test with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

Buy our profiles

A hatékony és egészségbarát profilok mellett a LaptopMedia termékeinek megvásárlásával laboratóriumaink fejlesztését is támogatja, ahol eszközöket tesztelünk a lehető legobjektívebb értékelések elkészítése érdekében.

Irodai Munka

Az Irodai Munka profilt elsősorban azoknak a felhasználóknak ajánljuk, akik idejük nagy részét szövegek, táblázatok nézegetésével vagy böngészéssel töltik. Ez a profil jobb megkülönböztethetőséget és tisztaságot biztosít egyenletes gamma-görbe (2.20), natív színhőmérséklet és érzékelhetően pontos színek mellett.

Dizájn és Játék

Ez a profil a színekkel hivatásszerűen dolgozó tervezőknek, valamint játékokhoz és filmekhez készült. A Dizájn és Játék a kijelzőpaneleket a határaikra juttatja, a lehető legpontosabbá téve őket az sRGB IEC61966-2-1 szabvány szerint a webre és a HDTV-re, D65 fehérpont mellett.

Health-Guard

A Health-Guard kiküszöböli a káros impulzusszélesség-modulációt (PWM) és csökkenti a negatív kék fényt, amely hatással van a szemünkre és a testünkre. Mivel minden panelhez egyedileg van szabva, a színeket érzékelhetően pontosan tartja. A Health-Guard a papírt szimulálja, így a szemre nehezedő nyomás jelentősen csökken.

3. Battery life

Powered by an efficient Alder Lake U-series CPU, the laptop certainly goes easy on its 59.6Wh battery. It lasts for 15 hours and 29 minutes of Web browsing, or 12 hours and 34 minutes of video playback. Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with.

4. Security

Security is very important for a business machine, so to see that Dell takes it as seriously as they do is assuring. Firstly, there’s a fingerprint reader embedded in the power button. Then you have a FHD webcam with an IR sensor, which allows for facial recognition. Around the bezels of the laptop there are proximity sensors as well, which can detect your body and automatically lock the laptop and shut the display, so no one sees or touches what you’re working on.

1. Upgradeability

Lastly, all small laptops suffer from poor upgradeability, which just comes with the territory. The Latitude 14 9430 has soldered LPDDR5 memory, while the storage is accessible through one 30 mm M.2 slot for Gen 4 SSDs.
