When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the Dell Inspiron 14 7435, consider your priorities. If budget is a primary concern and basic tasks such as browsing the web, word processing, and video streaming are your main activities, the Vivobook Go 14's lower price point makes it an attractive option while still providing adequate performance for such tasks. However, if you require more power for tasks like intensive engineering applications, graphic design, or gaming, the Inspiron 14 7435, despite its higher cost, offers better performance that could justify the investment. The Inspiron may also have higher quality build, better display, and more premium features. Moreover, if portability is crucial, the lighter and potentially thinner Vivobook might be preferable, though this could come at the expense of shorter battery life compared to the Inspiron, which may better support long hours of work away from an outlet. Ultimately, your choice should align with the importance you place on performance, build quality, battery life, portability, and price. Give Feedback

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 outshines the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 in general use due to its superior processing power with a stronger CPU, double the memory, and a higher resolution touchscreen, providing more multitasking capabilities and better visual clarity. Additionally, while both boast good portability, the Inspiron has a slightly higher battery capacity and a 2-in-1 convertible feature, enhancing its versatility without significantly increasing its weight.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is equipped with a basic AMD Radeon 610M GPU, which may not handle gaming and 3D applications very well, while the Dell Inspiron 14 7435 comes with a more capable Vega 8 integrated GPU that offers better performance for these tasks. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates, but the superior GPU in the Dell Inspiron contributes to a fair gaming and 3D experience compared to the ASUS.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 is preferred for engineering and design because it incorporates a more powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and Vega 8 graphics, which are essential for demanding applications and rendering tasks, alongside double the RAM for smoother multitasking; additionally, it has a higher resolution touchscreen display, enhancing detail and interactivity for design work. In contrast, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 offers a lesser AMD Ryzen 3 processor with Radeon 610M graphics and less RAM, which may not handle engineering software as effectively, and it has a standard resolution, non-touchscreen display, which could limit its utility for detailed design tasks.

"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."

"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."
