The Razer Book 13 and Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 offers versatility with its convertible design but may not meet high-end gaming or 3D rendering needs due to its modest GPU and standard screen refresh rate. Meanwhile, the Razer Book 13, although better equipped for graphics with a more capable GPU and enhanced screen quality, still falls short for demanding gaming or 3D tasks, as it doesn't prioritize high refresh rates and extreme performance that specialized gaming laptops provide.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Razer Book 13 to be good for engineering and design, while the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 is only fair.
The Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 with its capable CPU, ample RAM, and high-quality screen suits engineering tasks, while its 2-in-1 form factor and good keyboard make it versatile for design work; however, it may lack in GPU power for intensive graphics work. The Razer Book 13, known for its powerful CPU and RAM, excellent screen, and superior GPU, is more adept at handling both demanding engineering software and design applications, but it trades off some portability due to its build.

How the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the Razer Book 13 compare to other laptops
"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
