The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 has a less powerful Intel Celeron processor and only 4GB of RAM, which can hinder performance in general use, while its TN screen offers poorer color and viewing angles compared to the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED's high-resolution OLED display, which also benefits from a more capable Intel i5 processor and double the RAM at 8GB, leading to smoother overall performance and better multitasking capabilities. Additionally, the Zenbook 14X boasts a more premium build, with better portability due to a slightly lighter weight and superior battery life, alongside a better keyboard and higher-quality speakers, making it a more suitable choice for general use.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15, with its basic Intel Celeron processor, limited RAM, and standard screen resolution, is not well-suited for demanding engineering and design work, whereas the ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED offers a more powerful Intel i5 processor, double the RAM, and a superior OLED screen with higher resolution, all of which are better for such tasks. Despite the Zenbook's higher capabilities, it maintains similar portability to the Vivobook, but the improvements in screen quality and performance come at the expense of a higher price.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X 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.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 15's inferior screen quality stems from its basic panel type, lower resolution, and limited brightness, which compromise clarity and vibrancy for everyday usage. The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED boasts a high-quality OLED display, offering excellent resolution and color accuracy vital for engineering and design tasks, ensuring precise color representation. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to their screens' lower refresh rates, which can affect smoothness and responsiveness during high-speed graphics rendering.

"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."

Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
