When choosing between the Dell Latitude 5330 2-in-1 and the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2, consider that the Dell usually offers better performance suited for demanding tasks and a versatile 2-in-1 design, but it comes at a higher price and may be heavier, impacting portability. The Surface Laptop Go 2 is more budget-friendly and lighter, making it ideal for on-the-go use and general tasks, but it may not handle intensive applications as well. Battery life is also a consideration; a more powerful laptop may drain its battery faster. Align your choice with your primary needs: performance and versatility versus cost and portability.

NotebookCheck

Andreas Osthoff | August 2022
"The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 review is a compact companion with old hardware. The Surface Laptop Go 2 shows some weaknesses. Microsoft didn't really develop the second generation of the Surface Laptop Go 2 any further but has only equipped it with a slightly more powerful Core i5 processor. However, the performance still remains at a fairly low level overall, but for many users, it definitely should still be sufficient for everyday tasks."
