The exterior of the D430 (aka the back of the LCD screen and the bottom of the notebook) appears to be
almost 100 percent gun-metal gray, which is a design feature that we’ve seen in Latitudes for a long time.
It’s getting kind of old, but it still looks nice. But an update would be nicer. The interior of the D430 is really
what looks nice and professional. The lines are sharper and the overall appearance is more visually
appealing than what I have been using for the last year and a half. Edges are more of a rounded shape,
unlike the HP’s physically sharper and straight edges.
When closed, the D430 reminds you of a thin workbook or textbook. In fact, the dimensions of the D430 are
fairly close to standard 8.5"x11" paper and I regularly carry my D430 inside of a stack of notes and books.
For a college student, this is really nice as you can move around with all of that in your hands and not have
a problem with any of it. Try moving a 17" notebook with a few paper notebooks on top and see how
awkward it is, and then you’ll understand why one can appreciate the size of the 12" D430.
