The Acer Swift X offers better performance for demanding tasks like 3D modeling and gaming due to its more powerful hardware, but it comes at a higher cost and may be less portable than the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1. The Dell, while less expensive and offering the flexibility of a 2-in-1 device, comes with less powerful components, which makes it more suitable for general use and on-the-go productivity. If longer battery life and the versatility of a tablet are important to you, the Dell is a logical choice, but if raw power for complex tasks takes precedence, then the Acer might be worth the extra investment.

How the Acer Swift X (2022) and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 compare to other laptops
"The Swift X is an Acer for entry-level gaming. With the entry-level graphics chip, our Acer not only beats every single current AMD and Intel iGPU, but also Intel's dGPU Iris Xe Max. However, despite being a GDDR6 version, the GTX does not match the expectations set by its own counterparts from our database. This may be a result of the single fan, which only produces moderate noise levels under load. The performance level of the thin and light 1.4 kg (~3.09 lbs) 14-inch laptop is impressive nonetheless."
