The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers better performance for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering, thanks to its advanced AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX GPU, but it's heavier and less portable. While its OLED screen provides vibrant colors and it's suitable for some gaming, it's also more expensive. On the other hand, the Dell Latitude 5330 is more affordable, lighter, and scores higher in portability, making it a better choice for general use and travel. Its Intel i5 processor and integrated graphics are adequate for everyday tasks but may not handle demanding workloads as well. The Latitude also offers longer battery life but has a smaller IPS display, which, while sharp, doesn't match the Zenbook's color performance. Both feature solid build quality and comfortable keyboards. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
The Asus Zenbook Pro 15 offers superior screen clarity and vibrant color display crucial for engineering and design tasks due to its wider color gamuts, supporting a broader range of colors which are essential for detailed and color-sensitive work. For general use, its high resolution and brightness provide a crisp and vivid visual experience, enhancing day-to-day activities like browsing or video streaming. However, its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for gaming and 3D applications, where a higher refresh rate is necessary to render smooth motion and reduce screen tearing during fast-paced scenarios.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15, with its powerful AMD CPU, sizable RAM, high-quality OLED screen, substantial battery, and dedicated Nvidia graphics, excels in performance and screen quality for general use, but it's less portable and heavier than the Dell Latitude 5330, which offers a balance of adequate RAM, an efficient Intel CPU, a smaller yet sharp IPS screen, with better portability and a lighter build that also boasts a high-quality keyboard and good battery life, though its integrated graphics are less powerful.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and Dell Latitude 5330 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 with its Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti graphics is more capable of handling demanding games and 3D applications than the Dell Latitude 5330, which has the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics; however, both laptops have the same screen refresh rate, which is a limiting factor for high-end gaming experiences. While the ASUS offers a superior GPU, which is very important for gaming and 3D tasks, the similar refresh rates mean neither is ideal for the smoothest gameplay that high-frame-rate gaming requires.

"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
