The Dell Latitude 5330 offers greater portability with its smaller size and lighter weight, suitable for those who frequently travel or commute. It provides good general use performance but is less ideal for tasks like intensive 3D rendering or engineering software. On the other hand, the HP Envy 17 boasts a larger screen and a more powerful processor, better for demanding applications and multitasking, but at the cost of portability due to its larger size and heavier weight. It also features a touchscreen, which might be beneficial for certain users. Both have similar battery life, sufficient RAM, and ample storage, though the HP Envy 17 offers more storage out of the box. The Dell Latitude is a premium business device, while the HP has a touchscreen and possibly a more luxurious appearance. The final choice depends on whether portability or screen size and performance take precedence for your needs. Give Feedback

The HP Envy 17 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Dell Latitude 5330 has fair screen quality for general use due to its adequate panel type, resolution, and brightness, making it suitable for everyday activities but not exceptional in any area. For engineering and design, its fair screen quality is attributed to acceptable color accuracy, covering enough of the DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB spectrums to meet basic professional needs. However, its poor screen quality for gaming and 3D tasks is due to a lower refresh rate, which fails to deliver the smooth visuals critical for high-end gaming and 3D rendering, despite a decent resolution and panel type.

The HP Envy 17 and Dell Latitude 5330 are both good for general use.
The Dell Latitude 5330 is a good choice for general use due to its decent CPU, ample RAM, good screen quality, superior portability with lighter weight, and longer battery life, making it easy to carry and use for extended periods. On the other hand, the HP Envy 17 has a more powerful CPU, larger and better-quality screen which enhances viewing experience, and a bigger storage; however, it is less portable and has slightly less battery life, weighing more which could be less convenient for frequent travel.

The HP Envy 17 and Dell Latitude 5330 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Latitude 5330 is limited in gaming and 3D applications due to its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which are not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs, and a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate, which may not be as smooth for fast-paced gaming. Similarly, the HP Envy 17, despite having a marginally better CPU, shares the same limitations with its integrated Iris Xe graphics and a 60Hz screen refresh rate.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers HP Envy 17 to be good for engineering and design, while the Dell Latitude 5330 is only fair.
The Dell Latitude 5330, with its advanced CPU and high screen quality, offers robust performance for engineering and design software, while the HP Envy 17, equipped with a more powerful GPU and a larger, higher quality screen, excels in handling graphics-intensive tasks. Despite their strengths, the Latitude's superior portability contrasts with the Envy's better keyboard and speaker quality, with both maintaining a balance between performance and operating noise.
