The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
When selecting a laptop for general use, the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1's relatively modest resolution and brightness suffice, but the Lenovo ThinkPad T14's higher resolution and brightness make it more appealing.

Benjamin Herzig | December 2023
"We like a lot about this laptop. It has many ports, with the inclusion of RJ45-Ethernet as a defining feature. WWAN is upgradable for maximum flexibility and the ThinkPad has many security functions. Working with the ThinkPad input devices is a lot of fun, and Lenovo puts in a serviceable Low Power panel. The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U delivers a great performance and does not drain the battery fast. Fan noise and temperatures are nothing special, but also far away from bad. With the user replaceable keyboard, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 has a special feature rarely present on most modern laptops."
