When choosing between the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the HP Stream 14", consider that the Dell offers higher performance, better build quality, and more features tailored for business professionals, such as a convertible design and a more robust security suite. It will be more suitable for demanding applications and multitasking. On the other hand, the HP Stream is more affordable and sufficiently capable for basic tasks like browsing, streaming, and light office work, but you'll sacrifice speed, display quality, and overall performance. The HP Stream is also lighter and may have a longer battery life, making it a better choice for portability and casual use. Give Feedback

The Dell Latitude 5330 has a better screen than the HP Stream 14" for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 offers a balance suitable for everyday tasks with adequate resolution and brightness, but it lacks the wide color gamut and high refresh rates needed for specialized activities like engineering and gaming. In contrast, the HP Stream 14" falls short in providing a satisfactory visual experience for any use due to its lower resolution and dimmer display, which affects clarity and comfort for general use, color accuracy for design and engineering, and smoothness for 3D applications. Both laptops are not ideal for gaming and 3D work, where visuals are a priority, as neither has a high enough refresh rate to ensure fluid motion and responsiveness.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP Stream 14" is poor.
The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1, with a more capable GPU, provides a smoother experience for gaming and 3D applications than the HP Stream 14", but it still may not meet the needs of demanding games or professional 3D work. While both laptops have moderate CPUs and screen quality, the faster screen refresh rate of the Dell gives it an edge over the HP Stream, which is more basic and less suited for these graphic-intensive tasks.

PCMag
Zachary Cuevas | November 2021
"With half of the main system memory and a fraction of the storage that we recommend in any budget Windows laptop, the HP Stream 14 does not impress. Perhaps it doesn't need to, depending on your reference point. For the price, you're getting a functional laptop with Windows 10, which already places the HP Stream 14 above most Chromebooks on that merit alone. Still, in this price range, you can't do much worse, but you can do better. In fact, for just $100 more, you can grab the much superior budget option, the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14."
