If your top priority is affordability for basic tasks like web browsing, document editing, and watching videos, the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 will save you money and cover these needs. In contrast, the Dell Latitude 5430 is a better fit for more intensive tasks such as photo editing, programming, and multitasking, thanks to its superior processor and double the memory and storage. The Dell also has a higher battery life and a better quality screen, keyboard, and build, which makes it more suitable for business use and travel. If lightweight design is crucial, the Dell is also slightly lighter. However, these additional benefits do come at a higher cost compared to the ASUS. Give Feedback
