If you prioritize high performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro will serve you better, as it has a powerful processor and GPU, more storage capacity, and significantly higher RAM. However, it is heavier, which affects portability, and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Dell Latitude 5330 offers longer battery life and is more portable due to its lighter weight, but it's less suitable for intensive tasks due to its moderate processor and integrated graphics. It also has less storage and RAM. Choose the Legion 7i Pro for performance-intensive tasks, and the Latitude 5330 if you value longer battery life and portability. Give Feedback
