The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 costs more and offers a higher-resolution touchscreen, larger storage, and better color accuracy, making it a premium choice for tasks involving visuals and media. However, the Dell Latitude 5330 is less expensive, runs the more recent Windows 11 Pro, and although it has a standard resolution non-touch display and less storage, its price and solid build make it practical for business and everyday use. They both have similar port counts and battery life, but with a premium display and larger storage, the ASUS may lead in performance for more intensive tasks. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and Dell Latitude 5330 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and Dell Latitude 5330 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because they both come equipped with Intel Iris Xe graphics, which are integrated GPUs providing decent but not top-tier gaming performance. Additionally, their screen refresh rates and qualities are sufficient for casual gaming but might lack the smoothness and clarity demanded by high-end games or professional 3D work, and while their CPUs are capable, they are not the best in class for gaming and 3D modelling tasks.

How the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and the Dell Latitude 5330 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
