The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 comes at a budget price and is typically much less expensive than the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14, but it offers lower specs with limited storage, basic RAM, and a less powerful Intel Celeron processor, making it suitable for everyday tasks like browsing, office applications, and watching videos. It has a larger 15.6-inch screen but uses a TN panel, which generally provides less color accuracy and viewing angles compared to the OLED display of the Vivobook Pro 14. On the other hand, the Vivobook Pro 14 is pricier but offers significantly better performance with more storage, double the RAM and a stronger Intel i5 processor, suitable for more intensive tasks such as photo and video editing, and better suited for general engineering use. Its 14-inch OLED screen offers higher resolution, better color accuracy, and is also more portable due to its smaller size and slightly lighter weight. If your primary focus is on high-quality visuals, more demanding software applications, and you're okay with spending more, the Vivobook Pro 14 is the better choice. However, for basic computing needs and a tighter budget, the Vivobook Go 15 will suffice. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 and the Vivobook Pro 14, consider that the Pro 14's higher resolution and brighter display will deliver a sharper and more vibrant experience for daily tasks and professional design work, as it likely covers a wider range of colors crucial for accuracy in creative endeavors. However, for gaming and 3D applications, despite its superior screen resolution and panel quality, the Pro 14 falls short due to a lower refresh rate, resulting in less fluid motion compared to screens optimized for these activities. The Vivobook Go 15, while more affordable, compromises on screen clarity and color quality, making it less suitable across all mentioned use cases.

How the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 and the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook Go 15 is a good option if you’re looking for one device to tackle a bunch of smaller problems. For simple school studies, portable evening entertainment or distractions, and getting household admin or light office workloads out of the way, it’s a great little package with respectable battery life, and a great contender for the advent of cloud gaming."
"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."
