I'm unable to directly access the document you've uploaded to provide specific advice. However, I can offer some general guidance to help you decide between two laptops, such as the ASUS Vivobook 15 and the ASUS Vivobook Go 14. Consider the ASUS Vivobook 15 if you need a larger screen for tasks like video editing or if you prefer a numeric keypad, which often comes with 15-inch models. It may also offer better performance due to potentially more powerful hardware options. However, it will be heavier and less portable than the 14-inch model. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 will be more lightweight and portable, making it a better choice if you're often on the move. The tradeoff may include a smaller screen and possibly less powerful internals, which could impact multitasking or resource-intensive tasks. For longer battery life, portability, and general use, you might lean towards the Vivobook Go 14. If performance for 3D/machine learning/gaming or engineering tasks is the priority and you're okay with a bulkier laptop, the Vivobook 15 could be the right choice. Remember to take into account the specifications such as processor, RAM, storage type and capacity, graphics capabilities, and overall build quality aligned with your specific needs and budget.

The ASUS Vivobook 15 and the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 have similar screen quality.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook 15 and Vivobook Go 14 have sufficient resolution and brightness, making them suitable for everyday tasks like browsing and document editing, but their panels may not be top-tier which affects color vibrancy and viewing angles. In the realms of engineering and design, while these laptops might be adequate for casual work, professionals may find the color accuracy limited as they have fair coverage of color gamuts, which is essential for precise color representation. Finally, for Gaming and 3D applications, both laptops' screen attributes are not ideal, as their refresh rates are likely not high enough for smooth motion rendering and while resolution and panel type are decent, they are not optimally designed for these high-intensity visual tasks.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Vivobook 15 to be only fair for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook 15 offers more suitable specifications for engineering and design tasks with a stronger CPU and integrated GPU, as well as a larger screen which benefits from better visual clarity and color coverage, advantages that are significant for work in these fields. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14, while more lightweight and portable, falls short in the same areas, especially with its lower-tier CPU and GPU, making it less adept for demanding engineering software and detailed design work.

Sascha Mölck, | April 2022
"The Asus VivoBook 15 is a quiet office notebook with a strong screen. However, the VivoBook 15 still has room for improvement. Office and internet applications as well as simple games do not pose any major challenges for the VivoBook - this is ensured by the built-in combination of Ryzen 7 5700U APU and 16 GB of RAM. Heat and noise emissions are acceptable. But, the laptop has weaknesses that should not be present at this level: lack of keyboard lighting, a slow memory card reader, no fast USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt 4) with Power Delivery and DisplayPort. Battery runtimes can only be described as average."

"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."
