For a balance of performance and versatility, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 is a strong choice with its touchscreen and convertible design, making it ideal for general use and light engineering tasks. It's also more budget-friendly and portable, with a longer battery life suited for on-the-go productivity. However, if you prioritize high-performance gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning tasks, the Lenovo Legion 5 16 (2024) with its superior GPU and CPU will deliver the power you need, albeit at a higher cost and with a bulkier design that's less travel-friendly. The Legion's higher refresh rate and resolution also cater to a more immersive gaming and visual experience, though it comes with a shorter battery life. Give Feedback
