The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is a budget-friendly option with less storage and memory, suited for basic tasks like browsing and document editing. Its battery life is decent, but it lacks the performance for more demanding applications. The Vivobook S 15 OLED, on the other hand, has a much higher price, but comes with significantly more storage, better performance capabilities, and a high-quality OLED screen, making it suitable for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, and heavy multitasking. It is also relatively portable for its power level, though neither of these laptops is geared towards intensive gaming. Choose the Go 15 for cost savings and everyday tasks, or the S 15 OLED for robust performance and a superior screen. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the Vivobook S 15 OLED is superior with its vibrant colors and sharp resolution, resulting in a clearer and more pleasing viewing experience, while the Vivobook Go 15's lower quality display may appear dull or less crisp. Engineering and design tasks benefit from the S 15 OLED's wide color gamut, providing more accurate colors for detailed work; the Go 15's limited color range can constrain these applications. However, for gaming and 3D, the lower refresh rate of the S 15 OLED is a drawback compared to what gaming-optimized laptops offer, potentially leading to less smooth visual experiences, a shortcoming the Go 15 shares.

"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
