Dell Latitude E5430 14.1 Inch Business High Performace Laptop (Intel Core i5-3320M up to 3.3GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, WiFi, DVDRW, Windows 10 Professional) (Renewedd)

decent computer for the price, came with windows 10 pro (which is 199 itself, computer was 190) and the activation key is on a sticker on the bottom of the computer. this thing will really benefit from an Solid state drive. (~30 for 256GB on amazon)update, first one ended up to become physically damaged and would no longer turn so another was purchased.a couple points to some of the more negative reviews:wifi not working? theres a physical switch on the front edgedisk error? no os? download the windows 10 media creation tool and reinstall windows.no windows key? - you may not need one, newer computers have the key tied to the motherboard (esp windows 8, one of the requirements - a "bios-based key) . either way this computer came with windows 8 installed, with a windows 10 key on the bottom. i always reinstall windows brand new on new computers using the media creation tool (just to be sure theres nothing in the windows install "left over" from whoever handled this thing) so did a fresh install of win 10, entered they key on the bottom of the laptop and all was fine. "After you've installed Windows 10, head to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and you should see that your PC has a digital license. If you didn't enter a key during the installation process, you can enter a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 key right in this window when you're asked to provide a Windows 10 key"came with an extended battery.

Needed to copy some old CDs for music and PC games and this has plenty of storage and processing speed to get it all done and kept in 1 place and playable. Great price, delivered fast and with no issues.So thankful someone is still keeping this tech alive and not price gouging for it.

One of the first things I did when I got this computer is replace the hard drive with an SSD. This was actually pretty painless to do. From there, I just reinstalled Windows.I bought this computer mainly for the processor. Since one of the other reviewers noted that their computer came with an i3, and I was buying this purely because it came with an i5, that's the first thing I checked. To my surprise, the processor in my computer was slightly better than the one advertised. My computer came with an i5 3340 (2.7/3.4ghz) which is better than the 3320m it was supposed to come with (2.6/3.2ghz). I intend on using this computer for programming so I installed Visual Studio, SSMS, etc. With the SSD they all load within a few seconds, and I'm fairly happy with the performance.As I'm writing this review, I'm pretty happy with the keyboard. This was a business class laptop, and you can definitely tell from the construction. It feels pretty solid.There are some cons to take into consideration however:The maximum resolution on the display is 1376 x 768. My old laptop, which I'm going to be replacing with this one, was 1920 x 1080. So it's a bit disappointing that I'm going to be losing some screen real estate. I intend on having the programs open with the ebooks next to them. So the screen resolution will make it harder to have them side-by-side. In addition to the resolution, the screen is not touch screen.I was having an issue connecting to my wifi for some reason. The issue was fixed when I reinstalled Windows on the SSD. I'm not sure if it was due to using the SSD or due to reinstalling Windows. But whatever the case may be, that fixed the issue.The battery life on the computer looks like its a maximum of two hours. On my previous laptop it was 5 hours. So something like this is a bit disappointing, especially from a computer that's supposed to be a business class laptop. You may have to replace the battery with another one online if you hope to have a decent battery life.As someone from an accounting background, the lack of a ten-key is disappointing.Lastly, the computer ships with 32-bit Windows. While this probably won't be an issue for most people, it does prevent you from using all of the ram that the computer ships with. And, for someone like me, it may also limit performance.Overall, I'm fairly happy with this computer. I bought this mainly for processing power and I sure got it. However, depending on what your needs are, this may not be the computer for you. But I think it'd be hard to go wrong with this computer. A review from PCMag from around 4 years ago notes that this computer sold for around $830. So you're getting quite a good value paying significantly less than that.

At first glance the top is dented and scratched a little hadn't had a chance to really check the functionality of the laptop but will post after I get it charged up and will post again soon!!Well after attempting to turn the laptop on I haven't been able to turn it on the battery wouldn't charge up! I guess you buy cheap you get cheap!!
