If you prioritize performance and don't mind spending more, the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 is a stronger choice with a better processor and twice the memory and storage of the ASUS Vivobook Go 14. The Dell also boasts a higher resolution touchscreen and has a 2-in-1 design that can be used as a tablet. However, it is slightly heavier and has a bit lower portability score than the highly portable ASUS. If you're looking for a budget-friendly laptop and lighter weight is key for you, the ASUS is a good option, although it has lower performance capabilities and no touchscreen. Both laptops have similar battery life and IPS displays with comparable screen quality. The ASUS might be sufficient for general use, but for more demanding tasks like engineering or 3D work, the Dell is more suitable. Give Feedback

The Dell Inspiron 14 7425 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7425's higher-tier AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and double the memory offer better performance for general use compared to the ASUS Vivobook Go 14's lower-tier Ryzen 3 CPU and half the memory. Additionally, the Inspiron has a higher-resolution screen that may contribute to better screen quality, and with its convertible 2-in-1 form factor, it offers greater versatility, although both are deemed good in portability and battery life.

The Dell Inspiron 14 7425 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for content creation, and software development.
For general use, both the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 offer displays that are adequate in resolution and brightness, ensuring comfortable viewing for everyday tasks like browsing and document editing. When it comes to engineering and design, while the screens are clear enough for detailed work, professionals who need precise color accuracy may find the color gamut coverage less than ideal, affecting the fidelity of color-representative tasks. However, gamers and 3D designers looking for an immersive experience may be disappointed with both models, as the refresh rate is not high enough for the fluid motion required in gaming and fast-paced 3D simulations, and the screen qualities are not outstanding when it comes to sharpness or panel technology compared to specialized gaming laptops.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Dell Inspiron 14 7425 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is equipped with an AMD Radeon 610M GPU which is not very powerful for gaming or 3D applications, and it has a basic screen refresh rate of 60 Hz, which is standard but not ideal for fast-paced gaming that benefits from higher refresh rates. On the other hand, the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 has a more capable GPU in the form of the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U Vega 8, better suiting it for gaming and 3D tasks, and it also features a touch-enabled, higher resolution screen, but like the ASUS, it is limited to a 60 Hz refresh rate which could constrain gaming performance where higher refresh rates would be beneficial.

"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."

"Overall, this Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a lot to like, especially at its oft-discounted price of $800. It’s a sturdy laptop with strong performance, a convertible touchscreen, loud speakers, and a convenient fingerprint reader. But the trade-offs you’ll make in pursuit of that lower price—most notably the dim display and stiff trackpad—might just keep you from outright loving it."
