The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers higher performance for 3D rendering, engineering tasks, and gaming due to its more robust processor and graphics card. However, it's heavier and has a lower battery life compared to the ASUS Vivobook Go 14. The Vivobook Go 14, on the other hand, is more portable, lighter, and has longer battery life but is less suited for intensive tasks due to its entry-level processor and graphics. If you prioritize gaming or heavy workloads and are willing to accept a bulkier device with less battery endurance, choose the TUF Gaming F15. Go for the Vivobook Go 14 if you prefer a budget-friendly, highly portable laptop for general use. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15, with its more powerful Intel i7 CPU, substantial RAM, and better GPU is well-suited for general use and even gaming, though its larger size and shorter battery life make it less portable than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14, which offers good battery life and very good portability but has a less powerful AMD Ryzen 3 CPU and less RAM, leading to fair performance for general tasks.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a high-resolution display that, while bright and clear for everyday tasks, lacks the wide color gamut needed for precision in engineering and design; its slower refresh rate also detracts from the immersive experience demanded by modern gaming and 3D applications. The ASUS Vivobook Go 14, while maintaining acceptable levels of brightness and clarity for daily activities and capable of handling engineering and design tasks to a degree, also does not meet the color accuracy expectations for professional design work and falls short for gaming due to its standard refresh rate. Both models, therefore, provide a decent experience for general computing but are not ideal for users who require high-fidelity color representation in creative fields or smooth, responsive visuals for gaming and 3D rendering.

"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."

"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."
