Thick and heavy
Loud fan under medium to heavy use
Screen could have been brighter for improved outdoor usability
Loud keyboard
No higher display resolution options
Battery life not improved over original Latitude E6330
The E6430S also gets points for its sturdiness: it feels tougher than an ordinary laptop. Unfortunately, it also feels heavier. It's not heavy enough for you to really notice a difference (between it and a lighter laptop) in your shoulder bag, but you wi...
