If you prioritize high-end performance for tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning and can invest more, the ASUS ZenBook Flip S13, with its robust capabilities, makes a good choice, albeit with added cost. On the other hand, if you're looking for a balance between cost and functionality for everyday tasks, and prefer a machine that is easy to carry around, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 offers a more budget-friendly option with respectable performance, though it may not handle intensive tasks as smoothly as the ASUS. Remember, investing in the ASUS also means paying for the premium build and potentially better screen, while choosing the Dell allows for cost savings with competent performance and good portability.

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 provides a decent balance for gaming and 3D applications with its capable graphics processing unit (GPU) and quality screen, but it may not offer the highest refresh rates some games require for optimal performance.

Charles Jefferies | January 2023
"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."
