When choosing between the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 and the Gateway 11.6", consider that the ASUS offers a larger, higher-resolution screen which might be better for multitasking and multimedia use, but it also means the laptop is less portable than the smaller Gateway. Both laptops have the same processor and memory, making them similarly suited for basic tasks like web browsing, office applications, and streaming. If portability and price are primary concerns, the Gateway is more affordable and lightweight, making it easier to carry around. However, the ASUS, while more expensive, will provide a more comfortable viewing experience for extended use due to its larger screen. Give Feedback
