Silver and black are the only two color variants of the system. The silver model is made of aluminum, while the black model is made of carbon fiber and is the one we are reviewing now. The carbon look is good and the laptop feels really sturdy.

Since most of the device’s target market is business people, Dell has given the laptop a matte finish so it provides a secure grip without fingerprints and smudges. The rubber feet at the bottom raise and raise the laptop enough from a flat surface to allow for more efficient airflow and prevent the laptop from overheating.

On the left side of the laptop is a USB Type-C connector with Thunderbolt 4 power, cooling vents and one universal audio jack.

For better video conferencing, the camera notch has a Full HD camera and an IR sensor that are distinct. For added security, the camera also supports face unlock login.

Two bottom-firing speakers and vents for better thermals are located at the heel.

The 14-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen of the Dell Latitude 7430 has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. In addition, the screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a pixel density of 157 ppi. While the screen is bright and clear, it also offers good viewing angles and color tones are not affected when viewed from the sides.

This device is suitable for gaming, multimedia consumption and other comparable tasks. The screen on the Latitude 7430 is clearly visible outdoors, and we found that setting it to 50 to 70 percent in a well-lit room was pleasing to our eyes.

In addition, the display has an anti-reflective layer, which makes it easier to use when several light sources are directly reflected on it. So the Latitude screen outperforms most of its competitors in this price range.

There is a keyboard with large buttons that is resistant to dust and water. Note that the keyboard lacks a numeric keypad to make it more compact.

Okay, let’s talk performance. The Dell Latitude 7430 features the latest 12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U processor, up to 32GB of DDR memory, and up to 1TB of SSD storage, giving it all the power you need for the task at hand. We have the option of 16GB of DDR4 memory. Everything works as fast as you’d expect given the latest hardware. Opening this laptop is not too difficult; just loosen a few screws. Intel Iris Xe Graphics, which is an integrated GPU, is sufficient for casual gaming. AAA games can also be played but only with low settings.

Even after several gaming sessions, the thermals here met our expectations, as it was completely comfortable to put your hands on the keyboard.

For daily use that involves opening more than 30 Chrome tabs and performing other duties such as attending online meetings, this configuration will provide sufficient performance. We didn’t experience problems with the heating system or strange fan noises either.

A larger 58Wh battery is included in the gadget. Depending on usage, it can last up to 12 hours on a full charge, which is also fantastic. The package also includes a 65W charger.
