The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is a budget-friendly choice that offers good portability and is suited for general use with moderate performance for everyday tasks, such as web browsing, office applications, and media consumption. It has a lighter weight and longer battery life, making it easier to carry around, but it has less power for demanding applications. On the other hand, the Dell Precision 5470, while more expensive, has higher performance capabilities, better screen quality, and is targeted towards engineering, 3D, and machine learning tasks due to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card. It also has a more robust build quality and is designed for intensive workloads but has a slightly shorter battery life than the ASUS. If your priorities are intensive engineering tasks and you can afford a higher price, the Dell Precision would be advisable, while for general use with an emphasis on portability and a lower price point, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 would be a suitable pick.

"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 Dell Precision 5470 is a mobile workstation that's far more portable than most alternatives. Between its slim 14-inch design and top-quality MIL-STD 810H build, it's one of the best options around for taking professional-grade performance on the road or to the job site. There are tradeoffs for its portability, and users of the most demanding, graphics-intensive applications will need to carry something heavier. But the Dell's exceptional battery life underscores its desirability as the most portable workstation we've seen."
