The Dell Latitude 5330 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 15 for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook 15 and Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 both have screens that are suitable for general tasks due to their adequate resolution and brightness, providing a clear and visible display for everyday activities like browsing and document editing. However, for engineering and design work, where precise color representation is critical, these laptops may fall short as they likely do not cover professional color gamuts as extensively, affecting the accuracy of color-intensive tasks. When it comes to 3D or gaming, the importance of a high refresh rate to ensure smooth motion is not a strength of either model, and while their resolutions and panel types are acceptable, they won't deliver the premium experience desired by enthusiasts in these areas.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 15 provides decent graphics performance suitable for casual gaming and basic 3D tasks due to its GPU, while the screen refresh rate is suitable for everyday use but may not be ideal for high-frame-rate gaming. Conversely, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 also offers adequate GPU performance for less demanding gaming and 3D work, with the added versatility of a 2-in-1 form factor, but its screen quality and refresh rate may not satisfy users looking for a more vivid and fluid visual experience.

How the ASUS Vivobook 15 and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 compare to other laptops
"The Asus VivoBook 15 is a quiet office notebook with a strong screen. However, the VivoBook 15 still has room for improvement. Office and internet applications as well as simple games do not pose any major challenges for the VivoBook - this is ensured by the built-in combination of Ryzen 7 5700U APU and 16 GB of RAM. Heat and noise emissions are acceptable. But, the laptop has weaknesses that should not be present at this level: lack of keyboard lighting, a slow memory card reader, no fast USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 4) with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. Battery runtimes can only be described as average."
