When choosing between the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15X, consider that the Dell offers a more budget-friendly option with the added flexibility of a 2-in-1 design, which can be handy for presentations or using it as a tablet, generally suiting everyday tasks and business use with decent battery life. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15X, while pricier, provides a substantial boost in performance for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning projects, but it is bulkier and may have shorter battery life, making it less convenient to carry around. Choose based on your primary use—cost-effective and portable for general use or high-powered for specialized tasks. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15X has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 has a screen that is sufficient for tasks like browsing and document editing due to acceptable resolution and brightness, but it falls short for engineering and design tasks that demand wider color gamuts for color accuracy, and isn't suitable for gaming or 3D because of its lower refresh rate. The Gigabyte Aorus 15X offers a higher-quality display that's pleasing for everyday tasks and also supports broader color gamuts better serving professionals in engineering and design, yet for gaming and 3D applications, its refresh rate is not optimal, which is crucial for smooth motion rendering. Despite its strong performance in other areas, the Aorus 15X's screen may not meet the expectations of dedicated gamers or 3D artists looking for the fluid visuals provided by higher refresh rate displays.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the Gigabyte Aorus 15X compare to other laptops
"The Gigabyte Aorus 15X is a strong showing of Raptor Lake and RTX 4000 series. While the Aorus had trouble keeping up in older games like Grand Theft Auto V, it nudged past the competition in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It also flexed its next-generation muscle in Far Cry 6 and Borderlands 3. While we were impressed with the overall build quality and design of the Aorus 15X, the keyboard lacked good tactile feedback. The display performed well in real-world testing despite its on-paper shortcoming with brightness, but the speakers are lackluster at best."
