If your primary concern is portability and battery life for general use, like web browsing and office work, and you're looking to spend less, the Dell Latitude 5330 would be a good fit. It is lighter and has longer battery life. On the other hand, if you need a laptop for more power-intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, and are not as concerned about portability or cost, the Gigabyte Aero 5 with its higher-end processor and dedicated graphics card is likely to better meet your needs. It also comes with a larger, higher-resolution OLED screen which is excellent for color-sensitive work, but note that this model is heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the Dell.

The Gigabyte Aero 5 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If general use such as browsing, watching videos, and document editing is the focus, the excellent resolution and brightness of the Gigabyte Aero 5's display make for a vivid and clear viewing experience, while the Dell Latitude 5330 offers satisfactory visibility with decent brightness and resolution. For engineering and design, where color accuracy is critical, the Gigabyte Aero 5 excels with a wider color gamut, providing true-to-life colors, but the Dell's display falls short in delivering the rich color detail necessary for precise work. When it comes to 3D applications and gaming where smooth motion is key, neither laptop is ideal due to their limited refresh rates, although their resolutions and panel quality are acceptable for moderate use.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 and the Gigabyte Aero 5 compare to other laptops
"It is unfortunate that the Gigabyte AERO notebook series have seem to lost its charm, as it’s not exactly any much different from the AORUS series now. Regardless, content creators and designers will certainly still appreciate the features on the AERO 5 XE4, which are fundamental to their work. This largely revolved around the notebook’s display, which is colour calibrated and validated, high resolution (4K) and with great AMOLED colour representation. Now that the AERO 5 XE4 has improved its performance with the latest CPU and GPU, the professionals can also appreciate the improved productivity from the notebook."
