The ASUS ROG Strix G16 is very good for engineering and design, while the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 typically offers higher CPU and GPU power and more RAM, making it better suited for demanding engineering software and tasks that require strong graphics capabilities, while the Dell Latitude 5330 has a reputation for being more portable and possibly featuring a higher-quality keyboard, benefiting users who need to work on the go or prefer a superior typing experience. Despite the ASUS having a possibly superior screen for detailed work, the tradeoff comes in the form of increased weight and potentially louder operating noise, where the Dell might strike a balance with quieter operation and easier transportation.

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
If you prioritize a laptop for everyday tasks with clear and vibrant visuals, the ASUS with its higher resolution and brightness is a good choice, while the Dell has a lower resolution which still satisfies general use requirements. For engineering and design work where color precision is critical, the ASUS offers better coverage of color gamuts, providing more accurate color reproduction than the Dell. However, the ASUS falls short for gaming and 3D tasks because it lacks a high refresh rate, which is crucial for smooth motion and responsiveness, whereas both the ASUS and Dell may not satisfy the most demanding gaming and 3D requirements due to moderate resolution and panel technology.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G16 and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 compare to other laptops
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."
