My only issue has been with s3 sleep. The Latitude 7430 I'm on now has had it remove for Windows reasons and the battery will drain 50% overnight in s2 sleep (the only one available). Have you seen newer Latitudes (or even XPS) without this problem?

Of these, Latitude 7430 or 7440 is probably where I'd personally land. There's some 7440s with 1920x1200 displays that might be worth poking around at depending on how well your software works with HiDPI. (if it doesn't then backing down to 1200p may let you find a cheaper machine and/or be more pow

• Is the M2 with 16GB worth the extra cost over the cheap M1? Do not buy an 8GB Machine, whether Mac or PC. You will regret it almost immediately. 16GB is the practical minimum these days. In general, I'm not fond of switching between platforms, so if you're going to continue using your PC desktop,

Nah, it's just a bad design thing. I have a Dell Latitude 7430 and it's never woken up with the lid closed. I don't even need to close the lid, 'cause if it doesn't detect me in front of laptop, it just goes to sleep on its own.

Should be fine. If you're in the US I recommend cross-shopping Dell Latitudes. Latitude 7430 or 7440 should be available for a little less, should still perform decently, and will have better long-term battery health. 7450s are available but are on the upper end of that $1000. The other thing you co

Yes. There are certain CPUs that are designed to sip power so they can run comfortably in limited ventilation situations like AIOs, mini PCs, and laptops. Here are some examples: - HP Elitebook 840 G8 - Dell 15 - Dell Latitude 7430 But also invest in a laptop cooling fan; it elevates the laptop to e

I use a Latitude 7430 for work and it’s fast and reliable with good battery life. They can be had for around $350 on eBay these days which is fair considering they were over $1,000 just 3 years ago. I also got a 7320 for my wife recently for a little over $200. It’s also fast with good battery life.

HO preso un LAtitude 7430 usato a 500 euro e la batteria mi fa serenamente mezza giornata. Ma ho un altro processore rispetto al tuo che è uno che ciuccia abbastanza.
