戴尔 Latitude E6430 笔记本测评
Malicious tongues may say: "Nothing's changed except for the keyboard bezel color and the model number". We don't quite agree though - after all, newer processors and even USB 3.0 ports are now installed. However, a lot of things have been maintained. Indeed, the keyboard's reddish rim has been replaced by a charcoal black, and as we believe, more business appropriate one. Otherwise, we are facing the same bulky and solid case that we examined extensively last year in the Latitude E6420.
Our test configuration adds up to about 1225 Euros (~$1581) plus shipping and thus offers a solid value for money ratio. However, the competition was not idle during the past year and released (partly updated) models in the price range of 1200 to 1500 Euros (~$1548 to $1935) on the market. Our test device's competition will be found in 14-inch top-of-the-range models, such as Lenovo's ThinkPad T430, HP's Elitebook 8460p or other solid business laptops like Toshiba's Tecra R840.
恶意的舌头可能会说：“没有什么改变，除了键盘的边框颜色和型号”。我们不太同意，但 - 毕竟，新的处理器，现在已经安装好USB 3.0端口。然而，很多事情都一直保持下去。事实上，键盘的微红RIM已经取代了黑色的木炭，因为我们相信，更多的企业适当的。否则，我们都面临着同样的体积大而坚实的情况下，去年我们研究了广泛的Latitude E6420。
我们的测试配置增加了约1225欧元（〜$1581），加上运输和资金比率，从而提供了一个坚实的价值。然而，竞争是没有闲着，在过去的一年公布（部分）模型在1200年到1500欧元（〜1548美元1935），市场上的价格范围。我们的测试设备的竞争会发现，在14英寸顶级的型号，如联想的ThinkPad T430，HP EliteBook 8460p的或其他稳固的业务，如东芝TECRA R840的笔记本电脑。
Case
Since the case is identical to the previous model, with the exception of the keyboard's charcoal colored bed, as mentioned above, we would refer to the in-depth 2011 review of the E6420. Here is a summary:
The subjective first impression is solid - as usual. Dell touts the so-called Tri-Metal case to be in accordance with a military standard (i.e. referring to the case stability). Materials such as aluminum and magnesium (mainly for the chassis) are installed, partly interwoven, to achieve the desired robustness.
The rigidness is still top-notch. Nothing yields, warps or dents. The hinges look like they could carry a much heavier burden, but they nevertheless allow us to open the lid easily and keep it precisely in the set opening angle (maximum approx. 185°). A lightly rubberized surface is used in the input devices' area. Apart from the wrist rest's subtle rattle when we "tapped" on it, we did not notice anything negative - the E6430's case makes a flawless impression.
由于以往的模式，除键盘的木炭色的床，上面提到的是相同的情况下，我们将参照2011年深入审查的E6420。以下是摘要：
主观的第一印象是实心的 - 像往常一样。戴尔吹捧所谓的三金属外壳是按照军事标准（即参照的情况下稳定）。材料，如铝，镁（主要用于机箱）安装，部分交织在一起，以达到所需的鲁棒性。
的的刚性仍然是一流的。没有收益率，翘曲或凹陷。铰链看起来像他们可以携带更重的负担，但他们仍然让我们可以轻松地打开盖子，并保持它正是在设定的开启角度（最大185°）。轻涂胶的表面中使用的输入装置的区域。除了腕托的微妙咣当我们“挖掘”就可以了，我们没有注意到任何负面影响 - E6430的情况下，做出一个完美的印象。
Connectivity
The majority of ports have not been modified either. Except for the fact that now the much faster USB 3.0 standard is supported (2 ports on the case's right) in contrast to the E6420 precursor, the available interfaces and their positioning is unchanged. This upgrade eliminates one of the biggest criticisms of the predecessor, where USB 3.0 was only available as a third-party accessory, and had to be swapped with the optical drive. This naturally angered many customers and was controversial in our forum.
The left rear corner harbors the power socket, RJ45 LAN port and a powered USB 2.0 port (for charging smartphones when the laptop is off), and a VGA out for connecting older monitors and projectors as well as a combo audio jack. A SmartCard reader is also located at the front left edge.
On the opposite side, on the right's front edge, you will find a 45 mm ExpressCard slot and a slider switch for enabling/disabling wireless modules (Wi-Fi & Bluetooth), 2 USB 3.0 ports and a combined USB-2.0 / eSATA port. An HDMI port and a connection for Kensington laptop locks are distributed around the right rear corner.
An SD Acard reader is located on the front and - when required - a 56K modem can be installed at the rear. In addition to that, there is a docking port on the case's bottom as usual.
端口的大部分没有被修改。除的事实，现在速度更快的USB 3.0标准的支持（2个端口的情况下右）对比E6420前体，可用的接口和他们的定位是不变的。此升级消除的前身，USB 3.0仅作为第三方配件的最大批评之一，被换的光盘驱动器。这自然激怒了众多客户，并在我们的论坛是有争议的。
左后角港口的电源插座，RJ45网络接口和一个USB 2.0端口（用于充电的智能手机当笔记本电脑处于关闭状态），较大的显示器和投影机连接，以及一个组合音频插孔和一个VGA输出。智能卡读取器也位于前左边缘。
在对面，右翼前边缘上，你会发现一个45毫米的ExpressCard插槽和一个滑块开关启用/禁用无线模块（无线网络，网络连接及蓝牙），2 USB3.0端口和一个综合的USB-2.0/个eSATA端口。 HDMI端口和一个用于Kensington笔记本电脑锁连接分布在右后角。
SD ACARD阅读器位于前 - 在必要时 - 一个56K的调制解调器可以安装在后部。此外，有一个对接端口的情况下的底部像往常一样。
Communication
Intel's Centrino Advanced-N 6205 WLAN chip is installed in our configuration. It supports the b/g/n standards and can transmit screen content to compatible monitors/flat screens via Wireless Display technology. Wi-Fi reception is outstanding as expected from a good business laptop. Dell also installs Bluetooth 4.0 via a proprietary Wireless 380 module; Intel's 82579LM adapter provides Gigabit Ethernet.
Security
The customer's security needs should be covered to a certain degree in the business field. Not for nothing does Dell install a SmartCard reader that manages access control when required in addition to the almost compulsory fingerprint scanner. A TPM (Trusted Platform Module) alongside software for data encryption and protection supplies everything that the business heart desires.
Accessories
Apart from the user's manual, a bit of information from the manufacturer, DVDs for the operating system, drivers as well as Dell's software and the PSU, there are no accessories in the original box. Of course you can buy or order a lot of accessories online or by phone as usual. They range from expansions for the DVD drive bay, such as docking stations (160 to 180 Euros/~$206 to $232) up to rather "common" accessories like mice, keyboards, external monitors and even laptop bags. A higher capacity, 9-cell battery to replace our 6-cell version, for example, costs an additional 59 Euros (~$76) and might be an interesting option for mobile customers.
Maintenance
Replacing the optical drive or the hard disk is very simple: Both components are (left/right on the case's bottom) installed in slots and are easy to access from the outside. The DVD drive can be easily pulled out via a retractable catch, and be replaced by various accessories from Dell. Two cross slot screws have to be removed before taking out and replacing the hard disk. Another five screws have to be removed before the magnesium base plate opens to reveal a glimpse at the rest of the hardware. For example, the working memory can be exchanged or upgraded here (one slot is empty in our model).
Warranty
Dell normally provide their Latitude customers with a 36-month basic warranty on hardware. Of course, it is also possible to take advantage of online or telephone support for smaller issues. Moreover, you can also order Dell's 3-year ProSupport and on-site service for 154 Euros (~$199) instead of this standard warranty.
通讯
英特尔的迅驰高级-N 6205 WLAN芯片安装在我们的配置。它支持的b / g / n的标准，可以传输屏幕内容到的兼容显示器/平板显示屏通过无线显示技术。预计Wi-Fi接收的是优秀的，因为一个良好的商务笔记本电脑。此外，戴尔还通过专有的无线380模块安装蓝牙4.0，提供了千兆以太网英特尔82579LM适配器的。
安全
在一定程度上在商业领域应包括客户的安全需求。并非毫无戴尔安装智能卡阅读器，访问控制管理，在有需要时几乎是强制性的指纹扫描仪。一个TPM（可信平台模块）软件对数据进行加密和保护提供一切的商业心脏的欲望一起。
饰品
除了用户手册，从制造商的信息位的操作系统，DVD光盘，驱动器以及戴尔的软件和PSU，有没有在原包装盒的配件。当然你也可以购买或订购了大量的配件，像往常一样在网上或通过电话。它们的范围从DVD驱动器托架，扩展基座（160至180欧元/〜206，达到2.32美元）上升，而“普通”的配件，如鼠标，键盘，外接显示器和笔记本电脑包。更高的容量，9芯电池更换6芯版本，例如，成本增加59欧元（约$ 76），并为移动客户可能是一个有趣的选择。
保养
更换光盘驱动器或硬盘很简单：这两个组件是安装在插槽（左/右底部的情况下），很容易从外部访问。 DVD驱动器可以很容易地掏出通过一个可伸缩的渔获量，及各种配件戴尔取代。两个十字槽螺丝被删除之前取出和更换硬盘。另外五个螺钉必须要除去镁前底板打开揭示一瞥在其余的硬件。例如，在工作存储器可以被交换或升级这里（一个时隙是空的，在我们的模型）。
保
戴尔通常纬度的客户提供他们的基本硬件保修期36个月。当然，它也可以利用网上或电话支持小问题。此外，您也可以订购戴尔的3年专业技术支持和现场服务为154欧元（约199美元），而不是本标准保修。
Input Devices
Keyboard
As expected from a business laptop in this price range, a full-sized keyboard is installed although without a number pad due to the case's 14-inch size. Subjectively, typing on this sample is very pleasant. The pressure point is nice and crisp. Typing however sounds a bit louder than usual and a bit clattery, which is quite contrary to the keyboard's solid, tactile feedback.
The keys' surface is again soft in contrast to the competition, but it is a lot sleeker - almost like Apple's keyboards. Other goodies include a backlit keyboard with 5 brightness levels and liquid ducts that, for example, conduct spilled coffee away from vital electronics to the outside. A track point is embedded in the center area that, similar to the touchpad, is to execute mouse movements. But more about that in the following paragraphs.
Touchpad
Dell does a virtually perfect job when it comes to the mouse replacement installed in the Latitude E6430. The touchpad's very subtly roughened surface lets you glide over it with ease and the pointer navigates precisely and accurately over the screen. Both soft-click buttons are located beneath the touchpad and are dedicated. They feature an agreeably long keystroke and can be pressed simultaneously to simulate a center wheel click.
The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom or popular two-finger scrolling and we were awed about its sleek feel in the test. Thus, scrolling is very smooth - almost like those from MacBooks - even and suave. You are transported gently to the top of a website in no time when two fingers quickly swipe upward.
Of course, some business people have been using track points since their invention. The Latitude also adequately caters to this target group. The track point features a non-slip, dotted rubber surface. The three corresponding toggle buttons - between the keyboard and touchpad - do their job accurately and bid a crisp pressure point without making noise.
Eager users might object that some keys on the Latitude are no longer dedicated (e.g. print or break via the function key as a secondary assignment of another key) and are thus more difficult to trigger. However, the input devices' other qualities convinced us completely.
键盘
正如预期的那样，从一个企业在这个价位的笔记本电脑，安装了一个全尺寸的键盘，虽然没有数字键盘的情况下的14英寸大小。主观上，输入这个样本是非常愉快的。的压力点是好的，清晰的。打字但是听起来有点比平常高及的位clattery，这是完全相反的键盘上的固体，触觉反馈。
键的表面的竞争又是软的，但它是很多更时尚 - 几乎像苹果的键盘。其他配置包括背光键盘5的亮度水平和液体的管道，例如，进行把咖啡洒远离至关重要的电子到外部。甲跟踪点被嵌入在中央区域，类似的触摸板，是执行鼠标的移动。但更多的，在下面的段落。
触摸板
当它涉及到的鼠标替代安装在Latitude E6430戴尔做了近乎完美的工作。触控板的非常巧妙地粗糙的表面可以让你轻松滑过，指针在屏幕上精确导航。软“按钮位于触控板下方是专用的。他们拥有一个愉快的按键，可以同时按下模拟中心轮点击。
触摸板支持多点触摸手势，如捏到变焦或流行的双指滚动，并，我们敬畏约在测试其时尚的感觉。因此，滚动非常流畅的 - 几乎就像那些从MacBook笔记本 - 甚至和风流倜傥。您是一个网站的顶部，轻轻地在任何时间当两个手指快速滑动向上运输。
当然，一些商务人士使用，因为他们发明的轨迹点。纬度也充分迎合了这一目标群体。跟踪点配备了防滑，点缀橡胶表面。三个相应的切换按钮 - 键盘和触摸板之间 - 准确地做他们的工作和竞投一个清脆的压力点，不制造噪音。
急切的用户可能会反对上某些键的纬度不再是专用的（如打印或通过功能键作为二次分配的另一个重要的突破），因而更难以引发。但是，其他输入设备的品质完全相信我们。
Display
Our Latitude test device features a low-end 14-inch screen (CMO 1469) with a resolution of 1366x768. It is not a tragedy that most contenders of this price range use a higher resolution of 1600x900 and consequently offer a lot more desktop on the same space - a sharper HD+ screen is available for the E6430 for a mere 34 Euros (~$44) extra (tested in the precursor).
Although we would recommend taking advantage of this low-priced upgrade (it is a great value), the given resolution of this screen is sufficient for most office tasks. Subjectively, it even renders a fairly pleasant picture due to not over saturated, but nevertheless vivid colors, and a balanced color temperature. The matte surface also helps prevent reflections. The maximum brightness of 206 cd/m2 only allows indoor use or in shady areas outdoors. The screen is not suitable for use in direct sunlight since it cannot defy the sun.
我们的纬度测试设备采用了低端的14英寸的屏幕，分辨率为1366×768（CMO1469）。这是不是一个悲剧，大部分的竞争者，这个价格范围内使用一个更高的分辨率为1600×900，因此提供了更多的桌面上相同的空间 - 一个更清晰的HD+屏幕是可以的E6430为一个仅仅34欧元（〜$44），额外的（测试中的前体）。
虽然我们会建议利用这个低价的升级（这是一个很有价值的），此屏幕的分辨率足以满足大多数办公任务。从主观上说，它甚至呈现一个相当愉快的图片，由于过饱和，但不过鲜艳的色彩，和平衡的色彩温度。磨砂表面也有利于防止反射。最大亮度为206 cd/m2的，只允许在室内使用，或在阴暗的地区户外。在阳光直射下屏幕是不适合，因为它无法抗拒的太阳。

Brightness Distribution: 94 %
Center on Battery: 206 cd/m²
Contrast: 138:1 (Black: 1.49 cd/m²)40.51% AdobeRGB 1998 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
57.5% sRGB (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
39.03% Display P3 (Argyll 2.2.0 3D)
The other measured data clearly show that this is not a screen for professionals. The very bad black value of 1.49 cd/m2 gives an equally bad contrast ratio of mere 138:1. Consequently, the gradation looks undefined, especially in dark movie sequences, somewhat faded and grayish.
The viewing angle stability is satisfactory considering the low-end TN screen. They remain fairly stable even up to more extreme angles where the colors begin to invert. However, the colors lose a bit of their intensity in the course. Particularly the black hues fade even more when the vertical viewing angle is altered.
The reproducible color space is on a par with other budget screens - so very limited. The sRGB standard is not achieved here either. Graphic designers and photographers who need a precise color reproduction should consider other laptops (e.g. Lenovo's ThinkPad W530). Be that as it may, we would like to take this opportunity to again recommend the very affordable screen upgrade. It features a much higher brightness (and so outdoor suitability) and also implements a modern, competitive resolution of 1600x900 pixels.
其他测量数据清楚地表明，这是不专业的屏幕。非常坏的黑色值的1.49 cd/m2的给出了一个同样糟糕的仅仅是138:1的对比度。因此，渐变的外观不确定的，特别是在黑暗的电影序列有些褪色，灰色。
考虑到中低端的TN屏，视角的稳定是令人满意的。他们保持相当的稳定，甚至更极端角度下的颜色开始反转。然而，颜色失去了位的过程中，其强度。特别是黑色的色调褪色时，更垂直可视角度被改变。
是等同于其他预算屏幕上再现的色彩空间 - 相当有限。 sRGB标准没有达到。平面设计师和摄影师谁需要一个精确的色彩再现，应该考虑其他的笔记本电脑（例如联想的ThinkPad W530）。即使如此，因为它可能会，我们想借此机会再次建议非常实惠的屏幕升级。它具有高得多的亮度（等户外适用性），还实现了一个现代化的，有竞争力的分辨率为1600×900像素。
Performance
The Latitude E6430 is available in configurations for around 1000 Euros (~$1290, including shipping and VAT) to well over twice as much. This covers processors and storage devices of virtually every price and performance range. However, a dedicated graphics card in the form of NVIDIA's NVS 5200M can also be added to the order for 77 Euros (~$99).
The customer is free to order a tailor-made E6430. We believe we are testing a reasonably configured and affordable (1235 Euros/~$1594 plus shipping) but nevertheless fast laptop. The Core i5-3320M (2.6 - 3.3 GHz) from the latest Ivy Bridge processor generation alongside the integrated graphics solution (Intel's HD Graphics 4000) and 4 GB of working memory should be suitable for most routine tasks (up to occasional video editing).
The conventional 500 GB hard disk can be swapped with faster, but much more expensive 128 to 256 GB SSDs (about 100 - 280 Euros extra/~$129 - $361) while ordering. They speed up the system significantly. But our low-priced configuration was actually fast enough most of the time during the test.
Latitude E6430可在配置约1000欧元（约1290美元，包括运费和增值税）的两倍多。这涵盖了几乎所有的价格和性能范围的处理器和存储设备。然而，一个专门的图形卡的形式NVIDIA NVS5200米也可以被添加到订单的77欧元（约99美元）。
客户是免费订购量身定制的E6430。我们相信，我们正在测试一个合理的配置和实惠（1235欧元/〜1594美元，加上运输），但快速的笔记本电脑。的核心酷睿i5-3320M（2.6 - 3.3千兆赫）从旁边的集成图形解决方案（英特尔高清显卡4000）最新的常春藤桥处理器代和4 GB的工作记忆应该是适合最常规任务的（最多到偶尔视频编辑）。
传统的500 GB硬盘可以提供更快的交换，但更昂贵的128到256 GB固态硬盘（约100 - 280欧元额外/〜$129 - 361），订货时。他们加快系统显着。但是，我们的低价的配置实际上是速度不够快，大部分时间在测试过程中。
Processor
Intel's Core i5-3320M (details here) offers quite a lot for its comparatively low price in view of a default clock of 2.6 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz and Hyperthreading technology. If that was too much jargon in a single breath, we will let the practical rates give you an impression of the CPU's performance in the following.
Using Cinebench R11.5 (64-bit, single), we first test how well Turbo Boost speeds up the processor or whether there are any throttling issues, or if it is slowed down due to temperatures. The Latitude E6430 excels in this test: It achieves the 15th overall place of all previously tested devices, which proves that the business laptop accelerates processes that only need one core properly. HWInfo illustrates, as seen in the right screenshot, that Turbo works efficiently and, above all, permanently. Even in the slowest measured speed (see right screenshot) one core appears to be pinned down at the maximum clock (3.3 GHz). However, both cores usually remain above 3 GHz.
This shows that it simply does not make sense to invest a lot of money in an expensive quad-core CPU for most applications (excepting highly parallelized ones such as video editing or high-end games). Our Core i5-3320M is even partly faster than laptops featuring a Core i7-3615QM! Even the Core i7-3520M in the more expensive ThinkPad T430 is only faster by an insignificant 6%.
The multithread test, where processors can benefit from every additional core, is also finished well. Our device is located in the midfield. The ThinkPad now has an 8% lead, HP's Elitebook 8460p featuring a Core i7-2620M from the outdated Sandy Bridge generation lags behind our Latitude by 1%. Toshiba's Tecra R840 featuring a Sandy Bridge Core i5-2520M falls behind by 7% and extracts a surprising amount from the somewhat slower processor.
We conclude: performance doesn't have to be very expensive; all devices here are roughly on a par in terms of performance. The Toshiba and our Latitude are even about 300 Euros (~$387) cheaper than the HP or Lenovo.
英特尔酷睿i5-3320M（详细信息）提供相当多，其相对较低的价格，在一个预设时脉为2.6 GHz，睿频加速可达3.3 GHz和超线程技术。如果这是在一个单一的呼吸太多术语，我们将让实际利率给你的印象CPU的性能在以下。
使用CINEBENCH R11.5（64位，单），我们首先测试了处理器的Turbo Boost的速度，或是否有任何限制的问题，或者如果它是由于温度放缓。纬度E6430擅长在这个测试中，它实现了所有先前测试的设备，这证明了商务笔记本电脑的加速过程只需要一个核心，正确的综合排名第15位。 HWInfo说明，在右边的截图，涡轮工作效率高，最重要的是，永久的。即使在最慢的速度测量（见右截图）在最大时钟（3.3 GHz）的一个核心似乎被固定下来。但是，两个内核通常保持在3 GHz以上。
这说明什么意义，那根本不投资了很多钱，在一个便宜的四核CPU，对于大多数应用程序（除了高度并行的，如视频编辑或高端游戏）。我们的酷睿i5-3320M，甚至比笔记本电脑配备了酷睿i7-3615QM的部分更快！即使是更昂贵的ThinkPad T430酷睿i7-3520M是只快了微不足道的6％。
多线程测试中，处理器可以受益于每一个额外的核心，也完成得很好。我们的设备的位置在中场。现在的ThinkPad有8％的铅，设有一个过时的Sandy Bridge代酷睿i7-2620M的HP EliteBook 8460p的落后于我们的Latitude 1％。东芝TECRA R840配备了Sandy Bridge酷睿i5-2520M落后了7％，从速度较慢的处理器，并提取了数量惊人。
我们的结论是：性能并不一定是非常昂贵的，在性能方面，这里所有的设备大致看齐。东芝公司和我们的纬度约300欧元（约$ 387）价格比惠普或联想。
System Performance
The subjective speed is very constant and fast in routine use. There are no annoying stutters when watching HD videos on YouTube, no long delays mar the positive impression that the Latitude E6430 made until now. That is impressive since we mostly work in Dell's Quiet, energy-saving, mode. This mode sets the fan speed to minimum and adapts the system's performance accordingly.
However, we also want an objective basis for comparison and thus we unleashed our business device on PCMark Vantage and PCMark 7 in its so-called "Ultra-Performance Mode". Lenovo's T430 and HP's 8460p should have a considerable advantage here since they ultimately use a dedicated graphics card. However, our test device does not fall as far behind as we expected. It only lags 4% behind the HP and 12% behind the Lenovo in PCMark Vantage. The Lenovo is even surpassed by about 20% in PCMark 7 and the HP even lags behind by 35%. This great result is achieved because our Latitude's computation score, the computing-intensive test range, places it at the top with a big gap to all previously tested laptops with its computation score (26762 points). It is impressive just how much can be squeezed out of the comparatively cheap hardware.
在日常使用中是非常稳定和快速的主观速度。在YouTube上观看高清影片时，有没有恼人的口吃，没有长时间的延迟损伤的Latitude E6430积极的印象，到现在为止。这是令人印象深刻的，因为我们主要是在戴尔的安静，节能，模式。这种模式设置风扇转速最低，并相应地调整系统的性能。
然而，我们也希望有一个客观的比较基础，因此，我们释放我们的业务PCMark Vantage的设备和PCMark7在其所谓的“超能模式”。联想T430和HP的8460p的应该有一个相当大的优势，因为他们最终使用一个专门的图形卡。然而，我们的测试设备不属于作为远远落后于我们的预期。它仅落后于惠普和4％的背后，12％的背后，联想在PCMark Vantage。联想甚至超过了20％左右，在PCMark7的HP甚至落后于35％。实现这个伟大的结果，因为我们的纬度计算得分，计算密集的测试范围，把它的顶部有一个大的差距缩小到之前测试过的笔记本电脑，其计算得分（26762分）。这是令人印象深刻的，到底有多少可以被挤出了相对便宜的硬件。

Storage Devices
Our Latitude E6430 proved to be a pretty good performer until now. But how does the hard disk fit in the overall picture? When we speak of the HDD, we mean the 500 GB, fast spinning 7200 RPM Seagate Momentus model that did not exhibit any subjective irregularities during the test in our case.
HDTune confirms this subjective performance. Averaging 93.7 MB/s, this storage device processes the demanded data relatively fast - considering that we are not dealing with a swift flash memory as installed in SSDs. This measured rate has to be seen as good; only the ThinkPad T430's hard disk is a bit faster with 99 MB/s. The Elitebook 8460p's average transfer rate is even roughly one-fifth slower.
We use CrystalDiskMark to assess the performance when loading small files, important when booting the operating system, for example. To be more specific, the 4K and 4KQD32 read speeds are of interest us. An overall awe-inspiring rate is not achieved here with 0.35 MB/s and 0.79 MB/s, though it is not bad compared with the competition. The Lenovo reads the small files about one-fifth slower and the HP is insignificantly faster (max. 8%). If you really want programs to load fast, you should install a SSD during the configuration. However, if you are accustomed to conventional hard disks, you will generally be pleasantly surprised by the speed of the HDD in our test device.
到现在为止，我们的Latitude E6430被证明是一个相当不错的表演。但是，如何硬盘适合的大局吗？当我们说话的硬盘驱动器，我们指的是500 GB，快速旋转7200转希捷Momentus模式，在测试过程中在我们的例子中并没有表现出任何主观违规行为。
HDTune的证实了这一点主观的表现。平均93.7 MB/秒，存储设备的处理要求的数据比较快的 - 考虑到我们所面对的并非迅速快闪记忆体安装在SSD上。测得的速率被看作是良好的，唯一的ThinkPad T430的硬盘与99 MB/ s的速度更快一些。 EliteBook 8460p的平均传输速率是慢甚至大约五分之一。
我们使用CrystalDiskMark的绩效进行评估时，放入小文件时，重要的引导操作系统，例如。为了更具体地，4K和4KQD32读取速度是我们感兴趣。整体凛然率没有达到0.35 MB/ s和0.79 MB/ s的，虽然它是不坏的竞争。联想小文件读取约五分之一较慢，HP可以忽略不计（最多8％）。如果你真的想计划，加载速度快，你应该安装一个SSD在配置过程中。然而，如果你习惯于传统硬盘，你通常会惊喜的硬盘驱动器的速度，
Graphics Card
Intel's integrated graphics processor (IGP) of the latest Ivy Bridge processor generation, the HD Graphics 4000 in our case, accelerates all routine tasks, starting with HD videos up to games, smoothly in low details. If you are neither a gamer nor work in the CAD field, you probably do not need a dedicated graphics card nowadays.
Our test device lags behind Lenovo's T430 by 70% in 3DMark Vantage, but it is not a tragedy and simply exhibits the speed advantage of the latter's dedicated NVS 5400M in contrast to the HD Graphics 4000. However, even when compared with laptops using the same CPU & GPU - we opted for Fujitsu's 12-inch Lifebook P772 here - our laptop is roughly 25% slower. The Fujitsu is only 12% faster in 3DMark 11. This comparison is put in perspective considering that some laptops that feature the same graphics are approximately 40% slower than our test device. The following gaming benchmarks are more significant in real-life anyway.
图形卡
英特尔的集成图形处理器（IGP）最新的Ivy Bridge处理器一代的HD4000显卡在我们的例子中，加快了所有的日常任务，高清视频游戏，在低的细节。如果你既不是一个游戏玩家，也没有工作，在CAD领域，你可能并不需要一个专门的图形卡现在。
联想T430了70％，在3DMark Vantage中，我们的测试设备落后，但它不是一个悲剧，呈现出速度上的优势，后者的专用NVS5400M高清显卡4000。然而，即使使用相同的CPU和GPU的笔记本电脑相比 - 我们选择了富士通12英寸的LIFEBOOK P772在这里 - 我们的笔记本电脑是慢了大约25％。 Fujitsu（富士通）是只有12％的速度在3DMark11。比较的角度考虑，一些笔记本电脑，采用了相同的图形慢了约40％，比我们的测试设备。下面的游戏测试，在现实生活中更重要的了。

Gaming Performance
As a bestselling building strategy game, Anno 2070 has always been a part of our test repertoire and is plays well even on somewhat slower laptops. The E6430 produces very smooth gameplay on the screen with 42 frames per second in low details and a resolution of 1024x768. It is thus also one of the fastest laptops featuring Intel's HD Graphics 4000. Playable refresh rates of 21 fps are still achieved in medium details and the native resolution of 1366x768. However, high settings should be avoided because 14 fps leads to considerable stuttering.
FIFA 2012 is fairly easy on resources and thus pleases sport fans. The Latitude still allows high details and 2 x anti-aliasing in its native resolution. 31 fps are still playable; everything below that is jerky. Compared with laptops using the same GPU, the Latitude is in the upper midfield and stays fairly quiet at the same time.
Finally, Metro 2033 proves that our laptop's IGP is not designed for games. Most scenes can still be enjoyed fairly smoothly with 30 fps in low details and a resolution of 800x600 in DX9 mode. However, the native resolution and medium details in DX10 mode is closer to a flip book due to 15 fps.
Basically, it is possible to play an occasional game on the Latitude in minimum settings. There are, however, more suitable laptops for games on the market.
游戏性能
最畅销的建设战略游戏，安诺2070一直是我们的测试曲目的一部分，并发挥出色，甚至有点慢的笔记本电脑。 E6430在低细节和分辨率为1024×768的42帧每秒在屏幕上产生非常顺畅的进行游戏。因此，也最快的笔记本电脑采用英特尔HD4000图形之一。可播放每秒21帧的刷新速率仍然取得了在中的细节和原生分辨率为1366×768。然而，高设置应避免使用，因为14 fps的相当大口吃。
FIFA2012年是相当容易的资源和喜悦的体育迷。纬度仍然允许在其原生分辨率高细节和2个反走样。仍然是可播放31 fps的，下面的一切，是干的。与使用相同的GPU的笔记本电脑相比，纬度是在上中场，同时保持相当的安静。
最后，“地铁2033”的证明，我们的笔记本电脑IGP不为游戏设计的。大多数场景仍然可以享受相当顺利，在低细节，并在DX9模式，分辨率为800×600每秒30帧。然而，原生分辨率，在DX10模式中的细节更接近翻盖书每秒15帧的。
基本上，它可以播放一个偶然的游戏纬度最低设置。然而，有更适合的游戏在市场上的笔记本电脑。

Emissions
System Noise
The Latitude E6430's fan behavior is very convincing. In addition to the three standard Windows energy-saving modes, Dell includes a few of its own. Among them, you will find the "Quiet Mode" where the fan's speed stays on the lowest possible level and the processor's performance is completely adapted to the temperature management. So, all performance reserves made available by the low fan speed is furthered to the processor.
This works well in practical use. Although the laptop is never completely quiet when idling, its fan and hard disk noise are at an acceptable level of 34 dB(A). Nevertheless, the available power is sufficient for all routine tasks - from watching an HD video on YouTube up to office tasks - at a consistent noise level. The fan's noise is not a high-pitched squeal, but rather has a pleasant characteristic and it spins along in a low-frequency, quiet manner.
Up to 41.3 dB(A) are achieved during full load. However, the average of 38.4 dB(A) is within the range of the competing products used for comparison. Many are even a bit quieter when idling, but this is leveled again by the somewhat louder, maximum full load rates that were determined. If we had to choose a winner, it would be the ThinkPad T430 because of its measured rates. However, we can also warmly recommend our Latitude due to the well-designed energy-saving and fan profiles.
系统噪声
的Latitude E6430的的风扇行为是非常有说服力的。除了三个标准Windows节能模式，戴尔包括它自己的数。其中，你会发现风扇的速度保持在尽可能低的水平，处理器的性能完全适应的温度管理的“安静模式”。因此，所有提供的低风扇转速的性能储备进一步的处理器。
这工作以及在实际使用中。虽然笔记本电脑是从来没有完全安静，怠速时，它的风扇和硬盘的噪音为34 dB（A）在可接受的水平。然而，现有的电力足以满足所有的日常任务 - 观看高清视频在YouTube上办公室的任务 - 在一个一致的噪音水平。风扇的噪音是不是一个高亢的尖叫声，而是有一个愉快的特性，以及在低频率，安静地旋转。
期间达到满负荷至41.3分贝（A）。然而，平均为38.4分贝（A）是用于比较的竞争产品的范围内。许多人甚至有点怠速时比较安静，但再次被夷为平地的更响亮一些，最大满载率确定。如果我们要选择一个胜利者，这将是对ThinkPad T430，因为其衡量的利率。然而，我们也可以热情地推荐我们的纬度，由于精心设计的节能和风扇的配置文件。

Temperature
The temperature produced on the Latitude E6430's top and bottom is agreeably moderate. During low load, or while performing routine tasks such as Web surfing or Office tasks, the top and bottom stay nice and cool with approx 29 °C and 29.6 °C. The fact that the lower vents are only placed in the center alongside the extreme opening angle results in a recommendation for use on the lap. Obviously Dell did some thinking: The laptop can "breathe", does not get too hot and we do not have to twist or burn ourselves when on the go.
The Latitude reveals its hot-headed nature after an hour of stress testing. Now we measure up to 49 °C on both the top and bottom in the vent's area. The surfaces get quite warm with an average of 39 °C. The ThinkPad T430 even gets a bit warmer, the Tecra R840 is a bit cooler and the Elitebook 8460p stays almost unperturbedly cool (only around 30 °C). These extreme loads are however only achieved during full load induced by simultaneous use of Prime95 & FurMark for one hour. This is unlikely in a business laptop's everyday use; the low load test is more significant here.
Nevertheless, we really like the fact that both the CPU (3.1 GHz) and the GPU (1.2 GHz) exploit Turbo Boost to the full even after an hour of stress testing at a core temperature of roughly 87 °C. Even throttling is not an issue - great!
生产的Latitude E6430的顶部和底部的温度是愉快地温和。在低负荷时，或在执行日常任务，例如网上冲浪或办公室的任务，顶部和底部保持凉爽宜人，约29°C，29.6°C。一个事实，即下部的通风口只放置在中心的旁边的极端的开度角的查询结果在棉卷上使用的建议。显然，戴尔做了一些思考：笔记本电脑可以“呼吸”，不太热，我们没有扭曲或在旅途中燃烧自己。
纬度揭示它的头脑发热的性质后一个小时的压力测试。现在，我们测量到49°C的顶部和底部的通风口的面积。表面变得非常温暖，平均为39℃。而ThinkPad T430甚至变得有点回暖，TECRA R840是有点凉的EliteBook8460p的保持几乎unperturbedly的酷（只有大约30°C）。然而，这些极端负载过程中只取得了同时使用的Prime95和FurMark进行一小时的满负荷引起的。一个商务笔记本电脑的日常使用中，这是不可能的，这里的低负载测试是更重要的。
然而，我们真的很喜欢这样的事实，无论是CPU（3.1千兆赫）和GPU（1.2 GHz）的利用睿频加速至完整的，即使在一个小时的压力测试核心温度大约为87°C。即使节流是不是一个问题 - 太棒了！
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 49 °C / 120 F, compared to the average of 34.3 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 49 °C / 120 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 29 °C / 84 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(±) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 39.7 °C / 103.5 F.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.6 °C / 81.7 F (-12.1 °C / -21.8 F).
Speakers
The installed stereo speakers are of fair or average quality. Thus, they do not feature an exceptional sound, but do not exhibit any significant weaknesses either. The output quality is acceptable although there is a somewhat muffled characteristic. In return, the sound is fairly balanced. The trebles neither make an exaggerated nor overly sharp impression. The speakers do a good job with voice output.
Although basses are delivered, they are really only implied. The maximum volume is loud enough to fill a medium-sized room with sound. Nevertheless, it is recommended to connect a sound system because the given sound is not especially satisfactory here.
音箱
安装的立体声扬声器公平或平均质量。因此，他们不具有一个特殊的声音，但没有表现出任何显着的弱点。输出质量是可以接受的，虽然是一个有点闷闷的特性。作为回报，声音是相当平衡的。高音既不夸张也不过于尖锐的印象。扬声器声音输出做好。
虽然低音交付，他们是真正唯一的暗示。最大音量不够响亮，以填补一个中等大小的房间有声。尽管如此，我们还是建议连接音响系统，因为给定的声音，在这里没有特别令人满意。
Battery Life
Power Consumption
Our laptop proves to be very energy efficient with a power consumption of 7.4 - 10.7 Watts at idle. Particularly the ThinkPad T430 and Elitebook 8460p have to provide more and brighter pixels alongside a dedicated graphics card and thus need around 5 Watts more.
Our Latitude E6430 consumes just as little energy as the Elitebook during full load (Prime95 + FurMark) with 50.4 Watts. The ThinkPad requires up to 84 Watts due to its powerful GPU.
So, we see that our test device is the most energy-efficient model in the compared test field.
耗电量
我们的笔记本电脑被证明是非常节能，功耗为7.4 - 10.7瓦，在空闲的。特别是在ThinkPad T430和EliteBook 8460p的有一个专门的图形卡一起提供越来越亮的像素，因此需要为5瓦。
我们的Latitude E6430仅消耗尽可能少的能源的EliteBook在满负荷（Prime95的+ FURMARK）与50.4瓦。 ThinkPad的最多需要84瓦，由于其强大的GPU。
所以，我们看到，我们的测试设备是最节能的模式在对比测试场。

Battery Runtime
With its 6-cell battery that has a capacity of 62 Wh according to HWiNFO, our Latitude lasted for 8h and 46min in the Battery Eater Reader's benchmark before it had to be reconnected to the mains again (minimum brightness, disabled WLAN and enabled energy-savings mode). Thus, you may be pleased if you like to read eBooks on the go.
Of course, our standardized Wi-Fi browsing test is more interesting for most readers as it allows conclusions on battery life in real-world conditions. Here, a few websites and online media (e.g. HD videos on YouTube) are visited via a script using enabled energy-savings mode and a screen brightness of roughly 150 cd/m2. Our Latitude lasts for 5h and 36min and is on a par with the Tecra R840. The Elitebook 8460p lags behind with 5h and 13min and, with its much bigger 94 Wh, 9-cell battery, Lenovo's ThinkPad T430 only extracts about an hour more with 6h 29min. As mentioned, a battery with the same capacity is also available for our Latitude for fairly low 59 Euros (~$76) extra and it should be good for up to seven hours away from the mains.
It is even possible to take DVDs along with you on the go. 4h 54min should be enough to easily watch two average-length blockbusters before the battery is drained.
Our test device is exhausted after 1h 42min of heavy load (Battery Eater Classic). Thus, it also fares very well here and lasts roughly 20min longer than the comparison devices with a 6-cell battery. This confirms that the E6430 is more energy efficient than its contenders.
电池运行时间
随着它的6芯电池，有一个容量为62瓦至HWiNFO，我们的Latitude历时8小时和46min的电池食阅读器的基准之前，它有到是重新连接到电源再次（最低亮度，禁用WLAN和功能的能量，节省模式）。因此，你可能会很高兴，如果你想在旅途中阅读电子书。
当然，对于大多数读者来说，因为它允许在真实世界条件下的电池寿命的结论，我们的标准化的Wi-Fi浏览测试更有趣的。在这里，一些网站和网络媒体（如高清视频在YouTube上）访问通过一个脚本使用功能的能源节省模式和大约150 cd/m2的屏幕亮度。我们的纬度，时间为5h和36min的Tecra R840相提并论。 EliteBook 8460p的滞后5小时和13分钟，更大的94瓦，9芯电池，联想的ThinkPad T430只提取一个多小时与6小时29分钟左右。如前所述，与同容量的电池也可为我们的纬度比较低的59欧元（约$76）额外的长达7小时的路程，从主，应该是不错的。
在旅途中，它甚至有可能采取与您的DVD。 4H54min，足以轻松地观看两个电池耗尽前的平均长度大片。
我们的测试设备耗尽后1小时42分钟的重负载（电池食经典）。因此，它也票价非常好，持续大约20分钟的时间比对照了6芯电池的设备。这证实了E6430是更多的能源效率比其竞争者。
Verdict
As unspectacular and modest as business laptops may appear at first glance, you would never guess how much performance they often hide inside. In the Latitude E6430's case, we are faced with a slightly different case design - as usual, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but the other qualities of the aluminum/magnesium chassis are convincing. Its stability and rigidness pleases immediately - just like the solid hinges that have a firm grip but nevertheless allow the lid to be opened smoothly. Beyond that, the maximum opening angle of 185° allows work in every (im)possible position - the vents are placed so that using the device on the lap does not leave you gasping for air.
However, the competition also convinces with solid and rigid cases. We admit that we would rather have a cheap configuration. Thus, we have to painfully live without a HD+ screen, as used in the ThinkPad T430 or Elitebook 8460p, for example. The test of the prior Latitude E6420 shows that Dell's HD+ screen option for a mere 37 Euros (~$48) extra would supply outdoor suitable brightness rates and thus be a very recommendable upgrade in contrast to our poor TN screen. The noise produced by the keys while typing on them also seems loud and clattery. The rest of our configuration is pleasing and the comparatively low-priced Latitude even breaks our record in PCMark 7's computing test and beats the now second-placed device by a whole 18%. The conventional hard disk also writes and reads quite fast and places yet another cornerstone for the system's very good speed. The modest as well as well-designed fan management also spares nerves, especially in larger offices.
In a nutshell: the purchase decision is yours - or better said, it depends on your intended use. If you like the case design, do not play sophisticated games and are not exactly planning to work with CAD software, there is absolutely nothing that speaks against the Latitude E6430. And it can be put on the desk at the office for a relatively low price.
由于引人注意，而且作为商务笔记本电脑可能会出现温和的第一眼，你永远不会猜到多少表现，他们常常躲在里面。的Latitude E6430的情况下，我们正面临着一个略有不同的情况设计 - 像往常一样，美是在情人眼里出西施 - 但其他素质的铝/镁机箱有说服力。它的稳定性和刚性立即为所欲为 - 就像坚实的铰链上，有一个坚定的抓地力，但盖被打开顺利。除此之外，最大开启角度为185°，允许工作（IM）在每一个可能的位置 - 通风口放置，使用的设备上一圈，不离开你大口地喘着气。
然而，竞争也说服与固体和刚性的情况下。我们承认，我们也希望有一个廉价的配置。因此，我们不得不痛苦地生活没有HD +屏幕，所使用的ThinkPad T430或EliteBook 8460p的，例如。之前纬度E6420的测试显示，戴尔公司的HD +屏幕选项的只有37欧元（约$ 48）额外提供户外合适的亮度，因此是一个非常值得推荐的升级，相反，我们可怜的TN屏。打字时产生的噪声的关键似乎也响亮clattery的。我们的配置，其余的是愉悦和纬度相对较低的价位，甚至破坏了我们的PCMark 7的计算测试，并记录在整整18％，比第二位的设备。传统的硬盘写入和读取相当快，系统的非常好的速度的又一基石。温和以及精心设计的风扇管理也免去神经，尤其是在更大的办公室。
概括地说：你的购买决策是 - 或者更好地说，这取决于您的使用。如果你喜欢的表壳设计，不玩复杂的游戏，不完全与CAD软件，是绝对没有任何反对的Latitude E6430说话。它可以在办公室的办公桌上放一个相对较低的价格。
