When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the ASUS Vivobook Go 15, consider that the 14-inch model is more expensive but offers better performance due to a more powerful AMD processor, superior graphics, and twice the storage capacity. It also features a higher quality screen with better color reproduction and brightness. On the other hand, the 15.6-inch variant is less expensive and may suit you if budget is a primary concern, even though it has less storage, a less powerful Intel processor, and a lower quality display. The larger screen size of the 15-inch model might be preferred if you prioritize a bigger display over portability and performance. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14, with a more powerful AMD Ryzen CPU, double the RAM, and a higher-quality IPS screen, provides smoother performance and better visuals for general use compared to the ASUS Vivobook Go 15, which is equipped with a less capable Intel Celeron processor, half the RAM, and a lower-quality TN panel that offers inferior color and viewing angles. Additionally, despite the larger screen, the Go 15's lower screen brightness and color coverage make it less suitable for media consumption, while its heavier weight and similar battery capacity impact its portability and usability on the go.

The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 offers a balance in screen resolution and brightness which makes it adequate for everyday tasks like browsing and document editing, but for engineering, design, and gaming, its color accuracy and refresh rate fall short. On the other hand, the Vivobook Go 15 has a display that doesn't quite hit the mark even for general use due to lower resolution and dimness, further compounded by inadequate color representation and refresh rates for professional and gaming needs. Both models lack the high refresh rates needed for smooth 3D rendering, and their limited color gamut and panel quality may lead to less vibrant visuals and slower responses required for specialized tasks.

The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and ASUS Vivobook Go 15 are both poor for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 are not ideal for gaming and 3D because their graphics capabilities, with the Vivobook Go 14 having an AMD Radeon 610M and the Vivobook Go 15 equipped with an Intel UHD Graphics 600, are not designed for high-performance gaming or demanding 3D applications. Moreover, both models have a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which, while suitable for general computing, does not provide the smoother visuals required for fast-paced games and 3D rendering.

"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."
