To make an informed decision between the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 and the Lenovo V15, consider how much value you place on cost savings versus laptop capabilities. The ASUS is more budget-friendly and could serve well for basic tasks like web browsing, document editing, and streaming. The Lenovo V15, despite being pricier, may offer better performance, which could be more suitable for more demanding applications such as photo editing, multitasking, and running more complex software. If the laptop's primary use will be more intensive tasks, investing in the Lenovo may be justified. However, for everyday use, the ASUS may suffice, providing a balance of functionality and savings. Evaluate your specific use case and whether the performance improvements with the Lenovo are worth the price difference for your needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo V15 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 for content creation, and software development.
If both the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 and the Lenovo V15 have poor screen quality, it's likely because they have low resolution or the panels are not bright enough, making them less enjoyable for activities like watching videos or web browsing. For engineering and design, the insufficient coverage of color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB means colors won't be accurately represented, which is crucial for detailed graphical work. As for gaming and 3D applications, a low refresh rate can lead to choppy visuals, and if the resolution and panel type are lacking, it leads to less immersive and less crisp imagery.

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
