Dell Latitude 14 9430 review – classic performance from a classy product
Source: Laptop Media
As you can figure, this is an exceptional laptop meant for exceptional people. The cost is high, but the benefits you get from it are really big. All of the privacy, security, and ease-of-use features like the touchless log-in and sleep functions are simply fantastic to have. I mean, you don’t think you need these functions until you try them in real life. Yes, its memory is soldered to the motherboard, but at least the two available configurations are more than adequate. You can pick between 16 and 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, working at 5200MHz. On the other hand, the storage situation is a bit finicky. The laptop only supports 30mm drives, which are around 50 to 100% more expensive than conventional 80mm SSDs. Dell Latitude 14 9430’s IPS panel has a WUXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a very good contrast ratio. Its colors are pretty vibrant with 96% of sRGB coverage (and 81% of DCI-P3). The backlight doesn’t use PWM, while the color accuracy is great with our Gaming and Web design profile. There is only one thing though – the pixel response time is a bit slow. Not only that but there is some ghosting visible in day-to-day use. On the bright side, the battery life on this thing is phenomenal. It got us through 15 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing, or 12 hours and 30 minutes of video playback on a single charge. We still have to mention that we got the larger 59.6Wh package. The port selection is also awesome for a laptop of this size. It offers two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, a MicroSD card slot, an HDMI 2.0 connector, a Full-size USB slot, and an optional SIM card tray. There are two options here – the Snapdragon X20 (LTE), and the Snapdragon X55 (5G). How about performance? Well, it is fantastic for this type of device. Dell was right for its “CEO-level experience” claims. They were right, and the Latitude 14 9430 is worth every penny. It would be awesome if someone has a long-term observation about the device, and is willing to tell us more in the comments below.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
