The ASUS Vivobook 16, being less expensive, boasts a larger screen and more storage but is heavier and has shorter battery life compared to the lighter Dell Latitude 5330, which is more portable and lasts longer on a single charge but has less storage space. The VivoBook's AMD processor is great for general use and reasonably good for 3D/machine learning tasks or engineering software. Meanwhile, the Latitude's Intel processor makes it suitable for professional applications, with good general performance and adequate for engineering or graphics tasks. Both have comfortable keyboards and decent build quality, but for prolonged on-the-go usage or travel, the Dell Latitude 5330's portability and longer battery life might be preferable. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook 16 and Dell Latitude 5330 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Vivobook 16 and Dell Latitude 5330 are both fairly capable of gaming and 3D applications due to their integrated GPUs: the AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 and Intel i5-1245U Iris Xe, respectively. However, both have standard screen refresh rates and do not excel in color space coverage, which may not satisfy all gaming and 3D rendering demands.
