If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that can handle everyday tasks like browsing and document editing, the Acer Aspire 5 may be your choice, with a comfortable keyboard and plenty of ports. However, if you prioritize flexibility and the ability to use your laptop as a tablet, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 with its touchscreen and convertible design will be more suitable, though it typically comes at a higher price. The Dell's build is more robust and it tends to have better security features for business use, but this also means it's often more costly than the Acer. Give Feedback

The Acer Aspire 5 15 and the Dell Latitude 5330 have similar screen quality.
The Acer Aspire 5 and Dell Latitude 5330 both have displays with adequate resolution and brightness for browsing and watching videos, which is why they are fine for general use, but they don't excel because their panel types aren't top-tier. Their color accuracy and range might not fully cover professional design standards like DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB, hence they're just fair for engineering and design work, not ideal for color-sensitive tasks. For gaming and 3D applications, both lack high refresh rates, making them less suitable for smooth, fast-paced visuals, which are critical in these contexts.

The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and Acer Aspire 5 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire 5 15 and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 offer mid-range graphics processing units (GPUs) that can handle lighter gaming and 3D tasks but aren't ideal for the latest, most demanding games or professional-grade 3D modeling. While both have decent CPUs and screen quality for everyday use, their screen refresh rates are not as high as gaming-dedicated laptops, which affects the smoothness of fast-paced visuals.

Sascha Mölck | November 2022
"The Acer Aspire 5 15 is a good value office laptop with reasonable battery life. The combination of slim exterior, relatively low weight (approx. 1.7 kg) and 8 hour real-life battery runtime makes the Acer Aspire a truly mobile laptop. The modest Tiger Lake processor supports this area and simultaneously ensures an affordable price point. The Aspire produces little noise and stays cool. The screen (FHD, IPS) might not win any prizes but is entirely appropriate for the price."
