When choosing between the Asus Zenbook Pro 17 and the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1, consider that the Asus generally offers higher performance suited for demanding tasks like gaming, 3D work, and intensive engineering software due to its larger screen and potentially more powerful components. However, it's heavier and less portable. The Dell, being a 2-in-1, offers versatility with its touch screen and tablet mode, ideal for presentations or casual use, and is lighter for travel. It provides sufficient power for general use, but its smaller screen may not be ideal for detailed creative work. Choose the Asus for power-heavy tasks and the Dell for flexibility and mobility.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is very good for general use, while the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 is good.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17, with its high-quality screen, powerful CPU, and ample RAM, excels in performance for demanding applications and clear visuals, but it's less portable and has shorter battery life compared to lighter laptops. On the other hand, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 is easier to carry and typically has longer battery life, making it suitable for users who prioritize mobility and endurance over peak performance, though it still offers adequate CPU and RAM for general usage, with decent display, storage, and build attributes like keyboard and speaker quality.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 and Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 is somewhat better.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17, with its dedicated GPU and higher screen refresh rate, excels in delivering smoother graphics for gaming and 3D tasks, while the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1, although capable with its CPU, falls behind due to a less powerful integrated GPU and a lower refresh rate which might not render fast-paced visuals as efficiently. Screen quality on both laptops supports vivid images, but the superior refresh rate on the ASUS makes it a better choice for highly dynamic content.
