The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is less expensive and offers basic performance suitable for everyday tasks with a larger screen, which might not be as sharp or color-accurate as more expensive laptops. On the other hand, the Dell Latitude 5330, while more costly, provides significantly better performance for intensive tasks like engineering and higher demand programs due to more memory, a better processor, and better graphics capabilities. It's also more portable and has a higher-quality build, including a better keyboard and screen. The Dell also has a longer battery life, which is important if you need to work on the go without access to a power outlet. If you prioritize performance and build quality over screen size and budget, the Dell Latitude 5330 is the better choice. If cost and a larger display matter most, consider the ASUS Vivobook Go 15.

The Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 falls short in gaming and 3D capabilities due to its less powerful Intel UHD Graphics 600 GPU and a basic TN panel with standard refresh rate, which offers minimal screen quality suitable for casual tasks but not for the demands of gaming and 3D applications.

The Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 has a basic Intel Celeron processor, 4GB RAM, and a low-end graphics chip, making it poorly suited for demanding engineering and design tasks, while its TN panel screen also offers inferior color accuracy and narrow viewing angles. Conversely, the Dell Latitude 5330 features a much more capable Intel i5 processor, 16GB RAM, and advanced Intel Iris Xe graphics, along with a higher-quality IPS screen, providing the necessary power and visual fidelity that engineering and design professionals require.

The Dell Latitude 5330 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15's screen lacks the sharpness, brightness, and quality typically desired for comfortable everyday computing, leading to a less than ideal experience for tasks like browsing and watching videos. For engineering and design, its limited color range can hinder the accurate representation of designs and graphics, which is crucial for professional visual work. In gaming and 3D environments, the sluggish refresh rate can result in motion blur and a less immersive experience, impairing fast-paced action and detailed visual rendering.
