The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is a budget-friendly laptop that's lighter and has a longer battery life, which makes it easier to carry around for everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and streaming videos. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 15P is more expensive but offers significantly higher performance suitable for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming, thanks to its powerful processor and high-end graphics card. It also has a larger screen with a faster refresh rate for smooth visuals but is heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable. Consider the ASUS if you prioritize portability and value, and the Gigabyte if you need top performance and are willing to invest more. Give Feedback

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P is very good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14, equipped with a lower-end AMD Ryzen processor, Radeon graphics, and less RAM, falls short for engineering tasks that require more power and memory, which the Gigabyte Aorus 15P's high-end Intel i7 processor, Nvidia RTX GPU, and ample RAM handle effectively. Additionally, the Gigabyte boasts superior screen quality essential for design work, while both laptops offer decent portability and build, but the better keyboard and lower operational noise of the Aorus 15P further tilt the favor towards it for intensive engineering and design use.

The Gigabyte Aorus 15P 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, with limited brightness and resolution, provides adequate clarity and detail for everyday tasks but falls short for precision work required in engineering or high-quality visuals needed in gaming. The Gigabyte Aorus 15P, offering sharper images and better color reproduction, suits both general tasks and the demands of engineering design, where color accuracy is key. However, for gaming and 3D tasks, the Aorus 15P, while having a good resolution and panel type, doesn't have the high refresh rate necessary for the smoothest visual experience.

"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 Aorus 15P is a high-end gaming laptop with fast 360 Hz display. Gaming performance in the Aorus 15P YD is very high thanks to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 installed here. However, with the use of the Intel Core i7-11800H, CPU performance also closes in on the strong competition from AMD. SSD performance is excellent as well, and it leaves no room for criticism. Thanks to the built-in Intel Core i7-11800H, the system performance of the Aorus 15P YD increases significantly."
