Dell Latitude 14 7430 review – relying on last year’s success is a double-edged sword
The time of dominance in the business market is long gone for old boys Lenovo and Dell. ASUS now creates great devices, while some underdogs like Dynabook and Fujitsu are producing some very convincing notebooks.
BUT! Today is about one laptop – the Dell Latitude 14 7430. It is a premium business device, aimed at serious people, who want to do their work in the most efficient and secure way.
In terms of hardware, you can choose between high-performance and almost this high-performance, but with more battery life. We are talking about Intel’s 28W and 15W Alder Lake processors.
Another great news is the fact that you won’t find a TN panel option with the Latitude 14 7430. Instead, you can pick from a 1080p IPS unit, or a 4K IPS one. As always, Dell gives you two choices regarding the body, but we’ll tell you more about it later.
