If you prioritize flexibility and touch capabilities in your work, the Dell Latitude 2-in-1 offers a versatile form factor allowing you to use it as a tablet, which could be especially handy for presentations or creative tasks. On the other hand, if your focus is on more traditional laptop use with an emphasis on style and weight for easy travel, the Acer Swift Go might suit you better. Keep in mind, though, that generally, 2-in-1 laptops may not provide the same level of performance under heavy tasks as traditional laptops in some cases due to their design prioritizing versatility.

The Acer Swift Go 14 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, engineering and design, and software development.
The Acer Swift Go 14 provides vivid colors and sharp details suitable for everyday tasks and professional design work due to its higher resolution and color accuracy, but its lower refresh rate isn't ideal for the smooth visuals needed in gaming or 3D rendering. The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 offers sufficient clarity and brightness for casual use and some engineering applications, but its color range might not meet the high standards for precision in color work; additionally, its refresh rate limits gaming or 3D modeling experiences. Both screens, however, fall short for gaming and 3D due to their refresh rate, making them less optimal for users focused on those activities.

How the Acer Swift Go 14 and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 compare to other laptops
"The Acer Swift Go 14 is a surprising machine. Its performance, display, and battery life leave little to be desired from a device at this price. You might think it’d be cheaper given the “Go” in the name, or thinner given its close competition with thin-and-light laptops, but it manages to strike a decent enough balance between its capabilities and hardware to really stand out as an exceptional value."
