The Dell Latitude 5330 offers better portability due to its lighter weight and smaller screen size, making it more suitable for frequent travelers or users who prioritize compact design. On the other hand, the Lenovo Flex 5 16 provides a higher resolution screen with touch capability and slightly better battery life, which might be preferable for users interested in creative tasks or those who benefit from a larger display. Both have similar performance capabilities for general and engineering tasks, but neither are ideal for intensive gaming. Choose the Latitude for better portability or the Flex 5 for a larger, touch-enabled display and longer battery usage. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck

Andreas Osthoff | April 2023
"The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is a solidly equipped, 2-in-1 in the lower price segment. Performance is definitely sufficient for everyday tasks and in tests the battery proved itself to be very economical. That aside, there is a lot of standard fare on show and a search for real highlights ends in vain. The low color coverage and reflective display can be avoided by going for an optional 2.5K display but this also presumably results in poorer battery life. The cooling uses only one fan and leads to a raised temperature on one side of the device under load. Additionally, there is very loud fan noise, also under load or when gaming. On top of that, we also occasionally noticed electronic noises."
