The trade-off between the two would typically involve the form factor and possibly the build quality or specific performance aspects; as with all devices, a thorough look at the specs compared to your personal needs is advisable.

The LG Ultra 13 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5330 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1, with its fair screen resolution and brightness, meets the basic needs for clear visibility in general use, but its limited color gamut may not provide the vibrancy required for engineering and design tasks. The LG Ultra 13, offering better screen resolution and brightness, enhances the quality for everyday tasks and ensures more accurate color representation for professional work like engineering and design. However, both laptops fall short for gaming and 3D applications due to lower refresh rates, which fail to deliver the fluid motion that these tasks demand.

CNET
Joshua Goldman | April 2017
"The 13.3-inch LG Gram is a fine fit if you need to travel as light as possible for as long as possible without spending a fortune to do it. It might not be particularly sturdy or have an eye-catching design and its webcam is less than ideal, but with its sharp touch display, comfortable backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad and a fingerprint reader for extra security, the Gram makes a respectible everyday laptop for business or school work."
