The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is a budget-friendly option that is less expensive than the Dell Inspiron 14 7435, with more portability due to its larger screen size, but it comes with limited storage and lower performance, suitable for basic tasks like web browsing and document editing. In contrast, the Dell Inspiron boasts a higher resolution touchscreen with better color accuracy and contrast, more storage and RAM, and a more powerful processor that is better for multitasking, more demanding applications, and has a slightly longer battery life, but this comes at a higher price point. The Dell's higher performance and storage capacity might make it better suited for engineering tasks, 3D modeling, and machine learning; however, its higher cost and slight increase in weight may be a consideration for those needing portability and cost-effectiveness.

"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."

"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."
