If you prioritize high performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering tasks and are willing to pay more, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is a superior choice, although it’s less portable and has a shorter battery life compared to the Dell Latitude 5330. The Zenbook has a high-resolution OLED touchscreen and is more suited for intensive gaming and creative tasks due to its better GPU and color accuracy. On the other hand, if you're looking for a laptop for general use with better portability and longer battery life, and if a lower price is more appealing, the Dell Latitude 5330 is preferable. It offers adequate performance for everyday tasks but is not ideal for demanding graphics tasks or gaming. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is very good for general use, while the Dell Latitude 5330 is good.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X offers a high-end CPU and dedicated graphics, larger and higher quality OLED screen, and a substantial amount of storage, making it very good for a range of demanding tasks, though it's heavier and has shorter battery life, affecting portability. The Dell Latitude 5330, while lighter and with longer battery life for better portability, has a mid-range CPU, standard integrated graphics, and a smaller, lower-resolution IPS screen, making it good for general use, but less suited for performance-intensive applications.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is good for gaming and AI, while the Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is better suited for gaming and 3D work due to its powerful Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics card, which outperforms the Dell Latitude 5330's integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics. Additionally, while both have the same screen refresh rate, the Zenbook's more capable CPU and superior screen quality will provide a better overall experience for these intensive tasks.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is very good for engineering and design, while the Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X is equipped with a more powerful CPU and GPU, making it better for demanding engineering and design tasks, while the Dell Latitude 5330 offers solid performance but with less graphical power, which may be more suitable for lighter engineering software and general productivity. The Zenbook's high-resolution OLED screen also exceeds the Dell's display in terms of quality, which is crucial for design work, although the Latitude 5330 compensates with greater portability and a quieter operating noise, beneficial for on-the-go use and work environments requiring minimal distraction.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X, with its higher resolution and brightness, offers a clearer and more vibrant display for everyday tasks compared to the Dell Latitude 5330, whose display is adequate but less impressive. For engineering and design, the Zenbook's wider color gamuts ensure more accurate color reproduction, which is critical for those fields, whereas the Latitude has more limited color range making it less ideal for color-sensitive work. However, the Zenbook's lower refresh rate makes it less suitable for gaming and 3D applications, where smoother motion provided by higher refresh rates is key, an area where both laptops may not perform optimally.

Marc Herter, Alex Wätzel | November 2023
"The new Zenbook Pro 16X is more powerful, quieter and doesn't need to shy away from dedicated workstations and gamers. It is also comparatively compact, and our test device is the best Zenbook that we've reviewed so far. It seems equally suitable for content creators and gamers or anyone looking for a very powerful laptop that is still slim."
