We have one of the best laptops for the money today. Of course, we mean the best in terms of price and specs. You will find out later in the review if the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 (E1504F) lives up to the hype. Okay, so what are these hopes, and why should we be excited about this machine? The screen is the first thing that comes to mind. You can find the gadget with an OLED screen. Right, this tech has made its way down to the cheap end of the market. If you want to save money, on the other hand, you should choose an IPS package. Remember that the two will be very different. Hardware might be something else that makes you decide. The Athlon Gold 7220U, the Ryzen 3 7320U, or the Ryzen 5 7520U are the three AMD CPUs that come with the laptop.
ASUS only used plastic to make this unit so that it would have a low price. The fact that the device meets the MIL-STD-810H military standard for “toughness” is a very interesting fact. Based on our experience with the laptop, we can say for sure that it’s not hard. The lid and the frame of it both bend. A lot. This could be because the body is so thin (17.9 mm), but the fact that it weighs only 1.63 kg shows that it doesn’t have much support inside. Be careful when you work with this item. It’s not possible to open the lid with one hand, unless you’re Harry Potter. The edges around the screen are pretty thin, which is a good thing. The one on top has an HD webcam with a privacy shutter built in.

Where to Get ASUS Vivobook Go 15?
Also, we understand why the memory was soldered, but we think it has to do with the processor. That’s because the LPDDR5 5500MHz RAM that comes with most laptops with this family of CPUs is soldered on. The fast speed and choice of 4, 8, or 16GB are good things about it. The IPS panel on the ASUS Vivobook Go 15 (E1504F) has a Full HD resolution, good viewing angles, and a high contrast ratio. Thankfully, the backlight doesn’t use PWM to change the brightness. Aside from that, the panel only shows 57% of the sRGB gamut.
The smaller 42Wh battery is in our unit. No matter what, it let you browse the web for 8 hours and 30 minutes or watch videos for more than 9 hours. Also, the laptop is pretty quick for everyday use, which is great. Even though the keyboard’s case is pretty weak, it’s pretty easy to use. Together with the OLED screen option, some units will have a fingerprint reader, which will make the notebook a much more high-end device. You get the same chassis no matter what hardware you choose, which is why we don’t like the lack of structural integrity.
