If you prioritize a budget-friendly option that's easy to carry around and suitable for everyday tasks, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 is an excellent choice, plus it offers the versatility of a tablet-laptop hybrid. On the other hand, if you need superior performance for gaming, 3D modeling, or machine learning workloads, and don't mind spending more money and dealing with decreased portability due to the larger size and weight, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i would be the better pick, though it typically comes with a shorter battery life compared to the more energy-efficient Dell.
