Considering the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers superior performance suitable for intensive tasks such as gaming, 3D work, and engineering, it's well-suited to those needs but comes at a higher cost and is less portable due to its weight and size. The Packard Bell Cloudbook 14", on the other hand, is more budget-friendly and lighter, making it easier to carry around, but it falls short in performance, limited to basic tasks and general use, with significantly lower capability for gaming or professional software. If battery life is also a concern, the gaming laptop typically has less battery longevity compared to simpler models like the Cloudbook due to the high-performance components it houses. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers robust performance for general use with a powerful Intel i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM, a clear and vibrant display, but it's heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable. In contrast, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" has a modest Intel Celeron processor and 4 GB of RAM, which may hinder multitasking and demanding applications; however, it is lighter and has longer battery life, boosting its portability despite its poorer performance and keyboard quality.

The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 offers a decent combination of resolution, panel type, and brightness that benefits general users, but it may fall short for engineers and designers because of its narrower color gamut, which is critical for color accuracy, and it lacks the high refresh rates desired for a smooth 3D or gaming experience. On the other hand, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" may disappoint across the board due to its subpar screen quality, featuring lower resolution and brightness that would diminish the experience for general use, with these limitations becoming more pronounced for engineering, design, and 3D tasks that demand better visuals and color fidelity. In both cases, the ASUS may serve casual users adequately, but anyone involved in color-sensitive work, high-frame-rate gaming, or 3D rendering would benefit from a laptop with a higher-quality display tailored to those specific needs.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"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."
