If you prioritize a larger touch screen and are on a tighter budget, the HP Envy x360 15" with an AMD Ryzen processor offers these features at a lower cost, but with less memory (RAM) and may not handle intensive tasks as efficiently. The Dell Latitude 5330, priced higher, benefits from a more powerful Intel processor and more memory, better suited for more demanding engineering tasks but has a smaller non-touch screen and is more portable due to being lighter. For general use, both are suitable, but for more intense graphical tasks like 3D rendering or engineering simulations, the Dell's better performance may be more appropriate. Give Feedback

The Dell Latitude 5330 and the HP Envy x360 15" have similar screen quality.
For general use, both the Dell Latitude 5330 and HP Envy x360 15" provide adequate display quality with respectable resolution and brightness, which means clear and visible content, but they may not be exceptionally vibrant or sharp. For engineering and design tasks, despite offering fair display resolution for detailed work, the screens may fall short in reproducing precise colors due to less comprehensive color gamuts, potentially affecting the accuracy of visual projects. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, the importance of a high refresh rate is not met, and while both exhibit sufficient resolution and decent panel types for average tasks, they don't provide the smooth motion and responsiveness desired by gamers or professionals in 3D modeling.

The Dell Latitude 5330 and HP Envy x360 15" are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Latitude 5330 and HP Envy x360 15" are considered fair for gaming and 3D because both have integrated GPUs, namely the Intel Iris Xe and AMD Vega 7, which provide adequate but not high-end graphics performance. Moreover, both laptops have screens with standard refresh rates, suitable for general use but not ideal for high-paced gaming which benefits from higher refresh rates.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 and the HP Envy x360 15" compare to other laptops
"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
