For everyday tasks, the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is a cost-effective choice with sufficient performance and a decent screen for general use. However, it falls short in portability due to its weight and thickness, and it lacks advanced features like a backlit keyboard or fingerprint reader. Its battery life is also on the shorter side. On the other hand, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED offers a significant upgrade in almost every aspect. The OLED screen provides vibrant colors and deep contrasts, making it excellent for media consumption and suitable for professional photo editing. It's also more powerful, thanks to its Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and Intel Arc graphics, which are beneficial for more demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning. It's thinner, lighter, and has a better keyboard, making it more portable and comfortable to use for extended periods. The improved battery life also means you can work longer without needing a charge. In summary, if you prioritize portability, a superior display, and better performance for more demanding applications, the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is the way to go, despite its higher price. If your needs are more basic and you're looking to save money, the Vivobook Go 15 will serve you well for everyday tasks. Give Feedback

"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 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."
