If you prioritize having a vibrant display and better overall performance for tasks such as engineering applications or creative work, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 with its OLED screen is the better option, although it's more expensive. For regular tasks like browsing, document editing, and portability, the lower-priced ASUS Vivobook Go 14 offers sufficient performance and easier handling due to its lighter weight and longer battery life. Neither is ideal for intensive gaming, but the Vivobook Pro 14 may handle light gaming better due to its superior graphics. Keep in mind that better performance and display on the Pro model come with a higher cost and marginally lesser portability. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 offers fair performance for general use with a modest CPU and RAM, making it suitable for basic tasks, alongside decent portability and satisfactory battery life, yet the screen quality is average. In contrast, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 also delivers fair general use performance with a more robust CPU and superior screen quality, particularly useful for visual tasks, though it is slightly less portable and, while having better battery life, it might still have higher operating noise and heat due to its more powerful components.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 offers a satisfactory display for daily tasks and engineering with decent resolution and brightness, but it lacks the wide color gamuts needed for precise color work, making it just fair for engineering and design. The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, with its higher resolution and brighter screen, provides sharp and vibrant images enhancing the experience for general use and professional design tasks, supported by better color accuracy through wider color gamuts. However, for gaming and 3D, neither laptop is ideal as both have screens with lower refresh rates which are essential for smooth motion and fast-paced visuals in those applications.

"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."

"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
