The Dell Latitude 5330 has a better screen than the Gateway 14.1" for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, both the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and Gateway 14.1" have screens that offer satisfactory resolution, panel type, and brightness levels, making them capable for activities such as web browsing, video streaming, and document editing. However, for engineering and design, where color accuracy is crucial, these laptops may not cover the wider color gamuts desired by professionals, limiting their effectiveness for high-end photo editing or graphic design work. Lastly, their lower refresh rates make them less ideal for 3D applications and gaming, which rely on smooth visuals that are best delivered by higher refresh rates typically found in dedicated gaming or high-performance laptops.

Allen Ngo | September 2021
"The Gateway Ultra Slim 14" is surprisingly quiet with long battery life. The inexpensive Gateway excels at maximizing performance per dollar with lots of RAM and storage, super-quiet fan, and a long battery life. It can even house up to two M.2 SSDs which we weren't expecting from such a cheap system. However, the iffy reliability of the keyboard and USB-C port on our test unit means users should double-check for these potential issues immediately after purchasing."
