Ultra-high Performance" also idled at just under 15 watts, but likely allows more aggressive use of CPU Turbo Boost.THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY EXIST UNDER STATE LAW, APPLY ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE CORETEK PRODUCT. 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.

The Dell Latitude 6430 ATG is a fortified and toughened-up version of Dell's consumer and enterprise line of Latitude E6430 computers.

The official Geeks Geek, as his weekly column is titled, Avram Piltch has guided the editorial and production of Laptopmag. 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. We did not disassemble the entire machine, but did remove the purposefully designed magnesium bottom cover to get an idea how this machine is organized, and how easy it is to service it and/or upgrade components. The FirstDock (shown below on the left) is a heavy-duty, rugged metal design with a key lock and a wealth of ports (two serial, two audio, six USB, VGA, DVI, LAN, eSATA, and power).

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. Be that as it may, we would like to take this opportunity to again recommend the very affordable screen upgrade. The company gotten very good at taking some of the rugged tech used in the tank-like Dell Latitude E6420 XFR and applying it to the semi-rugged E6430 ATG. 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. Most scenes can still be enjoyed fairly smoothly with 30 fps in low details and a resolution of 800x600 in DX9 mode.Having almost 100 watt-hours, however, does come in handy even in a machine like the ATG that turned out to be remarkably frugal. These warranties replace all other warranties, expressed or implied including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. However, if you want a great-looking business system that packs plenty of power, the Latitude E6430 is one of your best choices. It features a much higher brightness (and so outdoor suitability) and also implements a modern, competitive resolution of 1600x900 pixels.

Subjectively, it even renders a fairly pleasant picture due to not over saturated, but nevertheless vivid colors, and a balanced color temperature. Many are even a bit quieter when idling, but this is leveled again by the somewhat louder, maximum full load rates that were determined. 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. 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).standard is supported (2 ports on the case's right) in contrast to the E6420 precursor, the available interfaces and their positioning is unchanged. The ATG costs about twice as much as a standard issue Latitude, but only half as much as the big, bad XFR. Dell describes the current ATG's "Wide View" screen as an outdoor viewable display with anti-glare treatment.

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.
