The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 offers budget-friendliness with a larger screen but is less powerful than the Framework Laptop 13, which has better performance suitable for more intensive tasks like engineering and 3D rendering due to its stronger processor and more RAM. If portability matters, the lighter and more compact Framework Laptop is the better pick. The Framework Laptop also shines with build quality and screen color accuracy, so if you work with visual media, it's the superior option. On the other hand, the ASUS's lower price makes it suitable for everyday tasks like browsing and office applications, where top-tier performance isn't as critical. Give Feedback

The Framework Laptop 13 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 poor screen is due to a lower resolution and dimmer display which affects clarity and visibility, making it less suitable across all uses. The Framework Laptop 13 excels in screen quality for general use and engineering with a higher resolution and brighter panel, ensuring sharp images and accurate colors which are vital for detailed work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, its lower refresh rate may lead to less fluid motion, making it suboptimal for those specific tasks despite its adequate resolution and panel type.

"If you’re thinking of investing in your first Framework, now is the time. The kinks and rough edges have all been smoothed out and this is a very nice machine with a bright, upgradable future. The only reason I can think of to wait is the AMD model, which I’ll be sure to test as soon as I can get my hands on one."
