The Gigabyte Aorus 17H is very good for gaming and AI, while the Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair.
The Gigabyte Aorus 17H excels in gaming and 3D applications due to its higher-tier Nvidia RTX 4080 GPU and a screen refresh rate of 360Hz, which ensures smoother visuals important for fast-paced gaming scenarios. In contrast, the Dell Latitude 5330, with an integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU and a more modest 60Hz screen refresh rate, offers less graphical processing power and motion clarity, making it only fair for gaming and 3D uses.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 and the Gigabyte Aorus 17H compare to other laptops
"Overall though, it’s *lots of swearing* fast, seriously. For work, rendering, gaming, it doesn’t matter, this is a true weapon of performance that’s going to run rings around most high-end desktop systems. If you absolutely have to game at ultra-high refresh rates on the go (but within thinking distance of a plug socket), this is the ticket. I can’t see such an extreme being that appealing to everyone, but if you take your gaming seriously, or even professionally, there’s nothing else out there that comes close that you can still fit in your backpack and travel with."
