Considering your needs, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is more affordable and offers solid performance for general use with decent battery life, making it suitable for tasks like web browsing, document editing, and media consumption. However, for more demanding tasks like engineering applications, heavy multitasking, and better overall performance, the Dell Latitude 5330 comes with more RAM and a higher-end processor, but at a higher price. It also boasts longer battery life and higher build quality, which may be crucial for professionals needing reliability and longevity. Both laptops have a similar screen size and resolution, but the Dell's display is notably brighter and offers more ports, including Thunderbolt, adding to its versatility. If portability is a concern, the Dell is lighter, enhancing its appeal for those who travel frequently. Give Feedback

The Dell Latitude 5330 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and Dell Latitude 5330, with their fair screen quality, are suitable for everyday tasks like web browsing and document editing due to their adequate resolution and brightness, but they won't offer the most vibrant or sharp display. For engineering and design, while these laptops provide enough clarity for detailed work, professionals may find the color accuracy lacking for precision tasks that require a wide color gamut. Gamers and 3D designers, on the other hand, may find the refresh rate lower than desired for smooth visuals, and although the resolution and panel type are reasonable, these laptops won't deliver the most fluid or immersive experience in fast-paced or graphically intensive scenarios.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Dell Latitude 5330 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 comes with an entry-level AMD Radeon 610M GPU, which is less powerful for handling gaming and 3D, and a standard screen refresh rate of 60 Hz which isn't ideal for fast-paced gaming; compared to the Dell Latitude 5330 which has a more capable Intel Iris Xe GPU integrated into the CPU, providing fair gaming performance, supported by the same 60 Hz refresh rate screen which is equally limiting for high-level gaming experiences.
