If you prioritize high-resolution displays and vivid colors for activities like photo editing or media consumption, the ASUS Zenbook with its OLED screen is an excellent choice, though it might cost a bit more. The Dell Latitude, on the other hand, offers the versatility of a 2-in-1 device, which can be handy for presentations or if you prefer using a device like a tablet. This model typically offers better portability and may have a more robust business-oriented build, but may not provide the same level of display quality as the ASUS. Consider how you will use the laptop most often to make your decision. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED stands out with its vivid OLED display that boasts high resolution and brightness, providing crisp and vibrant visuals for everyday activities like browsing and video streaming. For engineering and design, this same OLED panel covers a wide range of colors, essential for accuracy in graphic-oriented tasks. However, its lower refresh rate is less optimal for gaming and 3D work, where the Dell Latitude's fair quality might not shine in color accuracy and resolution but might offer a slightly better refresh rate, still, neither are ideal for high-frame-rate gaming.

How the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 compare to other laptops
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
