The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize vibrant colors and sharp images for everyday tasks or professional design work, the HP Dragonfly Pro's superior resolution and panel type offers better visual clarity and color accuracy, making it a better choice. However, when it comes to gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to lower refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth motion rendering. Despite this shortfall for gaming, both are still well-suited for general use and professional applications where the refresh rate is less critical.

The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and Dell Latitude 5330 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Latitude 5330's fair gaming and 3D performance is due to its integrated Iris Xe GPU and a standard refresh rate screen, which are decent but not designed for high-end gaming or complex 3D tasks. The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" similarly offers fair capability in these areas with its AMD Radeon 680M integrated GPU and the same standard screen refresh rate, but it also features a higher resolution and touchscreen, potentially making it better for general use than intense graphics applications.

Brendan Nystedt | March 2023
"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."
